Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security-sensitive reports.

To report a vulnerability, contact the maintainer through GitHub by opening a minimal private communication request at:

• GitHub profile: https://github.com/YfengJ
• Repository: https://github.com/YfengJ/steel-defect-detection

If private vulnerability reporting is enabled for the repository, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting flow. Include the affected file or workflow, steps to reproduce, expected impact, and any safe proof-of-concept details.

This project is a research and learning-oriented computer vision project. Security reports are most relevant for:

• unsafe file handling in scripts or the GUI
• dependency vulnerabilities that affect normal installation
• unsafe model or dataset loading behavior
• CI or repository configuration issues

Please do not include real production secrets, private datasets, or proprietary model weights in reports.
