+# Security Policy
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in NZBGet, please report it to us as described below.
+
+## Reporting Security Issues
+
+Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues. Instead, please use GitHubs private vulnerability reporting functionality associated to this repository. 
+
+Please include the requested information listed below (as much as you can provide) to help us better understand the nature and scope of the possible issue:
+1. Type of issue
+2. Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
+3. Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
+4. Potential impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue
+
+This information will help us review your report faster.
+
+This security policy only applies to the most recent stable branch of NZBGet. Flaws in old versions that are not present in the current stable branch will not be fixed.
