There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the contribution! Two small suggestions:
-
Remove the maintainer note — the line
**To enable PVR** (maintainers): Settings → ...is an internal note that doesn't belong in a public-facingSECURITY.md. Reporters don't need to know this. -
Add newline at end of file — the file is missing a trailing newline.
Suggested content:
# Security Policy

Thanks for merging! Could you also enable Private Vulnerability Reporting in the repo settings? Settings → Code security → Private vulnerability reporting → Enable Once it's active, I'll submit a detailed advisory with reproduction steps through GitHub's secure channel. |
