**Do not report sensitive vulnerability information in public.**
260+
261+
Additionally:
262+
263+
1. Please ensure that your issue is reproducable in **main**. We only
264+
support the latest version. The one exception -- if your issue is
265+
exploitable in the latest public release, but not in main, and the
266+
pull request does not mention a security implication this may be an
267+
unknown security issue that was inadvertely fixed.
268+
2. Demonstrating a memory overflow is enough. Please do not weaponize
269+
the reproducer to do remote code execution.
270+
3. Please do not report unexpected Python exceptions as a DOS or a
271+
memory safety bug. An issue that raises a Python exception in a
272+
library is unlikely to be considered a security issue. This may or
273+
may not be an ordinary bug depending on the context.
