  3. Contact Information: Include your contact information for further communication.

Guidelines for Responsible Disclosure

  1. Provide Sufficient Information: When reporting a vulnerability, include enough information for our team to understand the issue and reproduce it. This may include steps, proof-of-concept code, or screenshots.

  2. Act in Good Faith: We appreciate researchers who discover and report vulnerabilities responsibly. Follow ethical guidelines and act in good faith during the disclosure process.

  3. Respect User Privacy: Do not attempt to access or disclose sensitive user data. Focus on demonstrating the vulnerability's impact on the security of the system.

  4. Give Us Time to Respond: Allow a reasonable amount of time for our team to investigate and address the reported vulnerability before making it public.
