## Reporting a Vulnerability - Private Disclosure Process
Security is of the highest importance and all security vulnerabilities or suspected security vulnerabilities should be reported to Velero privately, to minimize attacks against current users of Velero before they are fixed. Vulnerabilities will be investigated and patched on the next patch (or minor) release as soon as possible. This information could be kept entirely internal to the project.
If you know of a publicly disclosed security vulnerability for Velero, please **IMMEDIATELY** contact the Security Team (velero-security.pdl@broadcom.com).
If you know of a publicly disclosed security vulnerability for Velero, please **IMMEDIATELY** contact the Security Team (cncf-velero-security@lists.cncf.io).
**IMPORTANT: Do not file public issues on GitHub for security vulnerabilities**
To report a vulnerability or a security-related issue, please contact the email address with the details of the vulnerability. The email will be fielded by the Security Team and then shared with the Velero maintainers who have committer and release permissions. Emails will be addressed within 3 business days, including a detailed plan to investigate the issue and any potential workarounds to perform in the meantime. Do not report non-security-impacting bugs through this channel. Use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/new/choose) instead.
