Description

Hey there!

I belong to an open source security research community, and a member (@shellinjector) has found an issue, but doesn’t know the best way to disclose it.

If not a hassle, might you kindly add a SECURITY.md file with an email, or another contact method? GitHub recommends this best practice to ensure security issues are responsibly disclosed, and it would serve as a simple instruction for security researchers in the future.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Start with the GitHub security policy guidance linked in the issue and confirm which email or other contact method maintainers want to publish. Add SECURITY.md with the approved disclosure instructions; done means security researchers have a clear responsible-disclosure contact path.
