+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+Your contributions to the security of our project are greatly appreciated. If you've discovered a
+security vulnerability within the project, we encourage you to report it as soon as possible. Please
+follow these guidelines to communicate the issue responsibly.
+
+### How to Report a Security Vulnerability?
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please send us an email
+at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Provide a clear description of the issue,
+including how it can be reproduced, and, if possible, a code snippet or an executable test case
+demonstrating the vulnerability.
+
+### What to Expect
+
+After submitting a vulnerability report, you should receive an acknowledgment of your report within
+48 hours. Following this, the team will:
+
+- Review your report and determine whether the vulnerability can be confirmed.
+- Assign a severity level to the vulnerability according to its impact and urgency.
+- Notify you of the progress towards a fix and full announcement.
+- Work to remediate the issue through mutual agreement, ensuring that a fix is confirmed and an
+  update is prepared and deployed.
+
+### Public Disclosure Timing
+
+Please keep your vulnerability report confidential until we have completed the fix and rollout
+process. The timeline for public disclosure depends on the severity of the issue and may involve
+coordinating with stakeholders and industry partners.
+
+We strive to resolve all security issues in a timely and transparent manner. Collaboration and
+communication during the vulnerability disclosure process are vital. We appreciate your help in
+keeping our project safe and secure for everyone.
