Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security issue:

  2. Report it privately through GitHub Security Advisories (preferred) or direct maintainer contact.
  3. Include:
    • affected provider/module
    • reproduction steps
    • impact description
    • proof-of-concept data (minimal and safe)

Response Process

  • Acknowledgement target: within 72 hours
  • Initial triage: severity + affected scope
  • Fix plan: patch, tests, and release/update notes
  • Coordinated disclosure after mitigation is available
