+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+Please don't report security problems in public issues, pull requests or discussions.
+
+Report them privately through GitHub instead: on the repository's Security tab, click "Report a vulnerability", or go straight to https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper/security/advisories/new. Include what is affected (the version and the component or API), how to reproduce it, and what an attacker could do with it.
+
+The maintainers will reply in the advisory, work on a fix there with you, and credit you when it is published, unless you'd rather not be named.
