If you discover a security vulnerability in this project, please
2023-04-07 12:42:12 +00:00
report it privately. **Do not disclose it as a public issue.** This gives
us time to work with you to fix the issue before public exposure, reducing
the chance that the exploit will be used before a patch is released.

You may submit a report by emailing us at
[xz@tukaani.org](mailto:xz@tukaani.org), or through

basis. As such, please give us 90 days to work on a fix before
public exposure.
