# Security Policy

If you have discovered a security vulnerability in this project, please report it
privately. **Do not disclose it as a public issue.** This gives me time to work with you
to fix the issue before public exposure, reducing the chance that the exploit will be
used before a patch is released.

You may submit the report in the following ways:

- send an email to behdad@behdad.org and harfbuzz-admin@googlegroups.com; and/or
- send me a [private vulnerability report](https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/security/advisories/new)

Please provide the following information in your report:

- A description of the vulnerability and its impact
- How to reproduce the issue

This project is mostly maintained by two developers, working on a reasonable effort
basis. As such, we ask that you give us 90 days to work on a fix before public
disclosure.
