# How do I report a security vulnerability?

The Portainer team takes the security of our products seriously. If you believe you have discovered a security vulnerability in any Portainer-owned repository, please report it responsibly.

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public channels, including standard GitHub issues.

Instead, report vulnerabilities using one of the following methods:

* Email the Portainer team at <security@portainer.io>
* ​[Submit a private vulnerability report](https://github.com/portainer/portainer/security/advisories/new) through the relevant Portainer repository on GitHub

These channels allow the team to review and address the issue as quickly as possible while minimizing the risk of public exposure before a fix is available.
