Description

I have a potential security report regarding a possible incomplete fix related to the recent shortcuts.xml UserCommand advisory affecting v8.9.6.1.

I do not want to disclose technical details publicly. Could you please provide a private channel for sending the report, or enable GitHub private vulnerability reporting for this repository?

The report includes affected version, source paths, non-destructive reproduction steps, and validation output.

Research direction

The issue names the recent shortcuts.xml UserCommand advisory and v8.9.6.1, but withholds technical details. Start by reviewing the repository's available security-reporting process and GitHub private vulnerability reporting settings. Done means the reporter has a private channel for the affected-version details, reproduction steps, and validation output.
