We thank the security researchers who help keep our software secure. Security researchers who follow responsible disclosure practices will be acknowledged in our security advisories.
By reporting a security vulnerability, you agree to:
- Not disclose the vulnerability publicly until we've had a chance to address it
- Not access or modify data that doesn't belong to you
- Not disrupt our services or systems
- Act in good faith to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our services
Thank you for helping keep Module Registry and our users safe! 🔌🛡️
