Security questions

I am not a cybersecurity person or have expertise in cryptography, so sorry if I can't reply to you. I may redirect you to resources or give advice as my capacity allow.

Submitting security patches

If you also want to submit a security patch, which I appreciate your effort as a maintainer, please DO NOT mention about the vulnerability within the patch (unless via these methods below).

via email

Please send security patches at ~ajhalili2006/[email protected] instead of the public inbox if you using email to submit patches. Access to the mailing list archives is limited to few trusted people alongside myself.

When submitting a security-sensitive patch in GitLab, don't forget to mark it as confidential merge request or request to access to security patches-only private fork. See GitLab Docs for details.

On projects with private vulnerability reporting enabled, after submitting your report, you can push your patches to a private fork specific to that report.
