Frequently Asked Questions

Where should the SECURITY.md file be placed in a GitHub repository?

GitHub recognizes SECURITY.md in three standard locations: the root directory of the repository, the .github/ directory (recommended), or the docs/ directory.

Why should vulnerabilities be reported privately?

Private reporting allows maintainers sufficient time to reproduce the vulnerability, engineer a security patch, and test the fix before attackers can exploit the flaw in production environments.
