If you find a new security issue in the community edition please send an email describing the issue and how it may be reproduced to [email protected]. Once we receive the email we will;
- Confirm whether or not the vulnerability affects any currently supported versions and if so we will follow our standard security response process which will involve us publishing the GitHub issue as part of the security advisory process
- If the issue does not affect any supported versions we will notify the reporter and request that they create a github issue directly
