## Reporting a vulnerability

To report security vulnerabilities, open a normal bug report in the
[calibre bug tracker](https://calibre-ebook.com/bugs) and mark it private.
To report security vulnerabilities, open an issue in this GitHub repository.

Additionally, you can use GitHub Private security advisories against this
repository to report issues.
For sensitive security issues, you can use GitHub's private security advisories
feature to report them confidentially.

Note that I will generally respond to security communication within 72 hours. Once
the bug is confirmed, it will be fixed or at least mitigated within another 72
hours, at which time the fix will typically be committed to master and hence be
public. That timeline might be extended based on the severity of the issue and the
current state of master in terms of making a new release, if so, it will be
done in consultation with the issue reporter.
Security issues will be addressed as quickly as possible. Once confirmed, fixes
will be committed to the main branch. The timeline may vary based on the severity
of the issue and the current development state.
