Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in this repository (e.g., exposed credentials, a vulnerable dependency, or a misconfiguration that could compromise the site or its build process), please report it responsibly:

  • Preferred: Open a GitHub Security Advisory for this repository. This is a private report visible only to the repository maintainers — it will not appear publicly, and no one else will be notified until you and the maintainers agree it's safe to disclose. To use it:

    1. Go to the repository's Security tab.
    2. Click "Report a vulnerability" (this button only appears once the maintainers have enabled private vulnerability reporting).
    3. Fill in a description of the issue, steps to reproduce, and its potential impact.
    4. Submit — the maintainers will be notified privately and can respond, ask questions, and coordinate a fix with you directly within that same private advisory thread.

    If the "Report a vulnerability" button is not visible, it means private reporting has not yet been enabled for this repository; in that case, use the alternative method below.

  • Alternative: Open an issue without sensitive details and request a private contact channel.

Please do not publicly disclose sensitive details (e.g., leaked credentials) in a public GitHub issue.

We aim to acknowledge reports within 7 days and to release a fix or mitigation within 30 days, depending on severity.
