# Reporting security issues

The project maintainers take security seriously. If you discover a security
issue, please bring it to their attention right away!

**Please _DO NOT_ file a public issue**, instead send your report privately to
[security@docker.com](mailto:security@docker.com).

Security reports are greatly appreciated, and we will publicly thank you for it.
We also like to send gifts—if you'd like Docker swag, make sure to let
us know. We currently do not offer a paid security bounty program, but are not
ruling it out in the future.
