Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in any of our projects, please help us maintain a secure environment by reporting it responsibly.

πŸ”’ Private Disclosure

Please do NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities through one of these methods:

Method 1: GitHub Security Advisories (Preferred)

  1. Go to the Security tab of this repository
  2. Click "Report a vulnerability"
  3. Fill out the vulnerability report form

Method 2: Email

Send an email to: security@h0neyp0t-466.dev (if available)

Method 3: GitHub Issues (For non-critical issues only)

For less critical security concerns, you may create a private issue by contacting the maintainers directly.
