## Reporting a Vulnerability

Instead, send an email with as many details as possible to
[flatpak-security@lists.freedesktop.org](mailto:flatpak-security@lists.freedesktop.org).
This is a private mailing list for the Flatpak maintainers.

Please do **not** create a public issue.

If we can get people to report security issues privately, then we can do
coordinated disclosure instead of having to rush to fix issues that are
already known to the public.
