 It will speed things up if you suggest a working patch, such as a code diff, and explain why and how it works. Reports that are not actionable, do not contain enough information, are too pushy/demanding, or are not able to convince us that it is a viable and practical attack on the web server itself may be deferred to a later time or possibly ignored, depending on available resources. Priority will be given to credible, responsible reports that are constructive, specific, and actionable. (We get a lot of invalid reports.) Thank you for understanding.

-When you are ready, please submit a [new private vulnerability report](https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/security/advisories/new).
+When you are ready, please email Matt Holt (the author) directly: matt at dyanim dot com.

 Please also understand that due to our nature as an open source project, we do not have a budget to award security bounties. We can only thank you.
