## Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability within this repository, we encourage
responsible disclosure. Please report any security issues to help us keep
`Ubuntu on WSL` secure for everyone.

### Private Vulnerability Reporting

The most straightforward way to report a security vulnerability is via
[GitHub](https://github.com/ubuntu/WSL/security/advisories/new). For detailed
instructions, please review the
[Privately reporting a security vulnerability](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/guidance-on-reporting-and-writing-information-about-vulnerabilities/privately-reporting-a-security-vulnerability)
documentation. This method enables you to communicate vulnerabilities directly
and confidentially with the `Ubuntu on WSL` maintainers.

The project's admins will be notified of the issue and will work with you to
determine whether the issue qualifies as a security issue and, if so, in which
component. We will then handle finding a fix, getting a CVE assigned and
coordinating the release of the fix to the various Linux distributions.

The [Ubuntu Security disclosure and embargo policy](https://ubuntu.com/security/disclosure-policy)
contains more information about what you can expect when you contact us, and what we expect from you.

#### Steps to Report a Vulnerability on GitHub

1. Go to the [Security Advisories Page](https://github.com/ubuntu/WSL/security/advisories) of the `Ubuntu WSL` repository.
2. Click "Report a Vulnerability."
3. Provide detailed information about the vulnerability, including steps to reproduce, affected versions, and potential impact.
