+# Reporting Security Bugs
+
+*If you are reporting a security bug*, please contact the core team privately
+by emailing redis@redis.io. Your report will be acknowledged by a core team
+member and once the report has been reviewed you will receive a more detailed
+response including next steps.
+
+If you do not receive a reply you can escalate to the Redis Google Group,
+linked above. Because this group is a public space please do not disclose the
+issue in detail, only say that you are trying to reach the core team for a
+security issue.
+
+Redis follows a responsible disclosure process:
+
+1. Reports are reviewed and analyzed privately
+2. Patches are prepared for supported versions of Redis
+3. Vendor lists are notified with an embargo date to reduce the public impact
+4. We push a fix release and your bug can be posted publicly with credit in
+ release notes and the version history (and our thanks!)
