- Private/Direct contact β Email the project maintainer (Borda) directly if their contact information is available via GitHub profile.
When reporting a vulnerability, please provide:
- Description β A clear explanation of the vulnerability
- Impact β What could an attacker potentially do?
- Steps to reproduce β Detailed steps to demonstrate the issue
- Affected versions β Which versions are impacted?
- Suggested fix β If you have one (optional but appreciated)
After you submit a report:
| Timeline | Action |
|---|---|
| 48 hours | Acknowledgment of your report |
| 1-2 weeks | Initial assessment and severity determination |
| Ongoing | Updates on fix progress |
| Upon fix | Credit in release notes (unless you prefer anonymity) |
