 ## Reporting a vulnerability
 
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The private security disclosure program is disabled until further notice. Please submit patches with fixes directly to the repo as public PRs. Emails will be ignored.
+
 If you have discovered a security vulnerability in this project that falls inside the [covered topics](#covered-topics), please report it privately. **Do not disclose it as a public issue.** This gives us time to work with you to fix the issue before public exposure, reducing the chance that the exploit will be used before a patch is released.
 
 Please disclose it as a private [security advisory](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/security/advisories/new).
 
 A team of volunteers on a reasonable-effort basis maintains this project. As such, please give us at least 90 days to work on a fix before public exposure.
