+# SECURITY
+
+We're *glad* if you want to report a vulnerability!
+
+If you wish to propose text to explain how to detect and prevent a *kind*
+of vulnerability that is already publicly known, please just file a normal
+issue and/or pull request. We don't consider that a "vulnerability report"
+in the sense that many people use the term.
+
+In some cases we're the wrong place to report vulnerabilities to:
+
+* If you wish to report a vulnerability on a specific project that isn't
+  this project, please don't report that here. Instead, please report the
+  vulnerability to that project.
+* If you wish to report a general vulnerability in edX or the
+  Linux Foundation Training & Certification platform, please report the
+  vulnerability to them instead.
+
+However, in some cases we *do* want you to report a vulnerability to us:
+
+* If you wish to report a vulnerability in this *specific* course
+  as supported by the Linux Foundation (via edX or the Linux Foundation
+  Training & Certification platform).
+* If you wish to propose text to explain how to detect and prevent a *kind*
+  of vulnerability that has *never* been publicly announced or
+  discussed anywhere.
+
+If you want to report those kinds of vulnerabilities to us,
+please use the GitHub mechanism [privately reporting a security vulnerability](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/guidance-on-reporting-and-writing/privately-reporting-a-security-vulnerability) to this repository.
