  • report it to the Open edX project by emailing the Open edX Security Working Group at security@openedx.org;
  • describe the nature of the vulnerability; and

    • a textual description of the steps necessary to reproduce the issue;

Upon receipt of your email, the Open edX Security Working Group will acknowledge the receipt of your email, review and triage your security vulnerability, and act accordingly.
