+Vaultwarden tries to prevent security issues but there could always slip something through.
+If you believe you've found a security issue in our application, we encourage you to
+notify us. We welcome working with you to resolve the issue promptly. Thanks in advance!
+
+# Disclosure Policy
+
+- Let us know as soon as possible upon discovery of a potential security issue, and we'll make every
+  effort to quickly resolve the issue.
+- Provide us a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before any disclosure to the public or a
+  third-party. We may publicly disclose the issue before resolving it, if appropriate.
+- Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or
+  degradation of our service. Only interact with accounts you own or with explicit permission of the
+  account holder.
+
+# In-scope
+
+- Security issues in any current release of Vaultwarden. Source code is available at https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden. This includes the current `latest` release and `main / testing` release.

+
+- Bugs that are already reported on Vaultwarden's issue tracker (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues)
+- Bugs that are not part of Vaultwarden, like on the the web-vault or mobile and desktop clients. These issues need to be reported in the respective project issue tracker at https://github.com/bitwarden to which we are not associated

+- Attacks requiring physical access to a user's device
+- Issues related to software or protocols not under Vaultwarden's control
+- Vulnerabilities in outdated versions of Vaultwarden
+- Missing security best practices that do not directly lead to a vulnerability (You may still report them as a normal issue)

+
+- Denial of service
+- Spamming
+- Social engineering (including phishing) of Vaultwarden developers, contributors or users
