Reported vulnerabilities can be found on
[cve.mitre.org](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=traefik).
CVEs are only created for vulnerabilities affecting **Generally Available (GA) versions** of Traefik.
Vulnerabilities discovered in non-GA versions (release candidates, betas, early access, or development branches)
will be fixed without creating a CVE.
## Report a Vulnerability
We want to keep Traefik safe for everyone.
@ -22,6 +26,28 @@ If you've discovered a security vulnerability in Traefik,
we appreciate your help in disclosing it to us in a responsible manner,
by creating a [security advisory](https://github.com/traefik/traefik/security/advisories).
## Code of Conduct for Vulnerability Submissions
We are committed to handling every legitimate report responsibly,
and we expect submitters to engage with our security team in a respectful and collaborative manner.
The following behaviors are **not acceptable** and will not be tolerated:
- **Threats** to publicly disclose the vulnerability if it is not fixed within a timeframe you set unilaterally.
- **Ultimatums** or pressure tactics intended to force a faster response than our normal triage and remediation process allows.
- **Demands** for payment, bug bounties, or any form of compensation in exchange for not disclosing the issue
(Traefik does not operate a paid bug bounty program).
- **Aggressive, abusive, or disrespectful communication** with our security team.
Submitters who engage in any of the above may face the following consequences:
- The submitter **will not be credited** in the security advisory or any subsequent communication.
- The submitter's GitHub profile may be **reported to GitHub** for violation of platform terms of service.
- We may **decline to engage further** on the report, while still addressing the underlying issue if it is legitimate.
We take security seriously and act on legitimate reports as quickly as our resources allow.
Patience and constructive dialogue help us protect users effectively.
## Submission Quality Guidelines
We have been receiving an increasing number of low-quality vulnerability reports that are not actual security issues.
