Bug Description

As part of the disclosure work, the filebug form has been enhanced to allow the desired information type of be specified under the Extra Options section. The ability to fully specify which information type to file the bug as needs to be restricted to just bug supervisors since normal users are not expected to have the required knowledge to make an accurate decision in this respect. Users who are not bug supervisors should just be given a "Security Related" checkbox. If ticked, the bug is filed as Embargoed Security, if not ticked, the bug is filed as Public. If the project is marked as "bugs are private by default", the bug will be filed as "User Data/Private" if the checkbox is unticked.
