If you are a vulnerability reporter (for example, security researcher) who would like report a vulnerability, first check if there is a security policy for the related repository. For more information, see "[About security policies](/github/managing-security-vulnerabilities/adding-a-security-policy-to-your-repository#about-security-policies)." If there is one, follow it to understand the process before contacting the security team for that repository.

If there isn't a security policy in place, the most efficient way to establish a private means of communication with maintainers is to create an issue asking for a preferred security contact. Once communication is established, you can suggest the maintainers define a security policy for future use.

If you are a maintainer, you can take ownership of the process at the very beginning of the pipeline by setting up a security policy for your repository, or otherwise making security reporting instructions clearly available, for example in your project’s README file. If there is no security polovy, it's likely that a vulnerability reporter will try to email you or otherwise privately contact you. Alternatively, someone may open a (public) issue with details of a security issue.

As a maintainer, to disclose a vulnerability that exists in your repository, you first create a draft security advisory in your package's repository in {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. {% data reusables.security-advisory.security-advisory-overview %} For more information, see "[About {% data variables.product.prodname_security_advisories %}](/github/managing-security-vulnerabilities/about-github-security-advisories)."

Coordinated vulnerability disclosure is an area where collaboration between vulnerability reporters and project maintainers is very important, from the moment a potentially harmful security vulnerability is found, right until a vulnerability is disclosed to the world, ideally with a patch available. Typically, when someone lets a maintainer know privately about a security vulnerability, the maintainer develops a fix, validates it, and notifies the users of the project or package.
