### Security issue

Please do not make public any security issue. Contact us at:
modsecurity@owasp.org reporting the issue. Once the problem is fixed your
credit will be given.
Please do not report security issues publicly. Instead, open a
[draft security advisory](https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/security/advisories/new)
on GitHub so the report stays private while the maintainers triage it and
prepare a fix. The advisory is published together with the fixed release, and
reporters are credited in it.

If you cannot use GitHub, email modsecurity@owasp.org instead.

Please do not report security issues publicly (no GitHub issues, pull
requests or mailing lists).

Report them privately by opening a
[draft security advisory](https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/security/advisories/new)
on GitHub. The maintainers triage the report there, coordinate a fix with you
and publish the advisory together with the fixed release. Reporters are
credited in the published advisory.
