Point reporters at https://github.com/cnpm/cnpmcore/security/advisories/new instead of email as the first step. Private vulnerability reporting is already enabled on the repo, so the link works for anyone.

  • GitHub Security Advisories is now the preferred channel, with a short list of what to include in a report.
  • Email stays as the fallback; adds smith3816@gmail.com and elrrrrrrr@gmail.com to the contact list.
  • States that public issues, discussions, and PRs are not for vulnerability reports.
  • Disclosure policy now ends with publishing the advisory and crediting the reporter.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the vulnerability reporting policy to prioritize private security advisories over public reports.
    • Added guidance on submitting vulnerability details and reproduction steps.
    • Updated the alternative email reporting process and response expectations.
    • Clarified post-fix disclosure and reporter crediting practices.

Make GitHub private vulnerability reporting the default channel and keep
email as the fallback. Add smith3816@gmail.com and elrrrrrrr@gmail.com to
the security contact list, and note that a GitHub Security Advisory gets
published once a fix ships.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@fengmk2, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 53 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 4 included reviews currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SECURITY.md directs reporters to private GitHub Security Advisories, retains updated email reporting, defines response wording, and states that a post-fix advisory will credit reporters unless they request anonymity.

Changes

Security reporting policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Private vulnerability reporting channels
SECURITY.md
Public GitHub reports are prohibited. GitHub Security Advisories are the preferred channel. The alternative email process and response wording are updated.
Post-fix disclosure policy
SECURITY.md
A GitHub Security Advisory will be published after the fix. The advisory will credit the reporter unless anonymity is requested.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e4753

The policy now directs vulnerability reports to GitHub advisories, with email as a fallback. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness: confirm the advisory endpoint accepts external reports and add a language identifier to the email code block to avoid the remaining documentation lint issue.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the repository’s vulnerability reporting guidance to prefer GitHub Security Advisories (private reporting) over direct email, while keeping email as a fallback channel.

Changes:

  • Adds a clear “do not report publicly” notice and points reporters to GitHub Security Advisories as the preferred reporting path.
  • Documents what information to include in a vulnerability report and clarifies expected response timelines.
  • Updates the disclosure policy to include publishing an advisory and crediting the reporter after a fix is released.
