|
|
|
If discover a security vulnerability in this project, please
|
|
|
|
|
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.
