Summary
With the 1.x release we're extending security support for Qiskit to 1 yr. We still only support 1.x for general bugfixes for 6 months after the 2.0.0 release. But for 1.x if any security vulnerabilities are identified we will provide fixes for that up to 1 yr after the release of 2.0.0. This was reflected in the 1.4.0 release notes and is on the version strategy docs:
https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/open-source/qiskit-sdk-version-strategy
but we forgot to update the security policy document in the Qiskit repo. This commit fixes this oversight.
