+If you think you have found a potential security vulnerability in
+requests, please email
+`sigmavirus24 <mailto:graffatcolmingov@gmail.com>`\_ and
+`Nate <mailto:nate.prewitt@gmail.com>`\_ directly. **Do not file a
+public issue.**

+
+If English is not your first language, please try to describe the
+problem and its impact to the best of your ability. For greater detail,
+please use your native language and we will try our best to translate it
+using online services.
+
+Please also include the code you used to find the problem and the
+shortest amount of code necessary to reproduce it.
+
+Please do not disclose this to anyone else. We will retrieve a CVE
+identifier if necessary and give you full credit under whatever name or
+alias you provide. We will only request an identifier when we have a fix
+and can publish it in a release.
+
+We will respect your privacy and will only publicize your involvement if
+you grant us permission.
+
+Process
+-------
+
+This following information discusses the process the requests project
+follows in response to vulnerability disclosures. If you are disclosing
+a vulnerability, this section of the documentation lets you know how we
+will respond to your disclosure.
+
+Timeline \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
+
+When you report an issue, one of the project members will respond to you
+within two days *at the outside*. In most cases responses will be
+faster, usually within 12 hours. This initial response will at the very
+least confirm receipt of the report.
+
+If we were able to rapidly reproduce the issue, the initial response
+will also contain confirmation of the issue. If we are not, we will
+often ask for more information about the reproduction scenario.
+
+Our goal is to have a fix for any vulnerability released within two
+weeks of the initial disclosure. This may potentially involve shipping
+an interim release that simply disables function while a more mature fix
+can be prepared, but will in the vast majority of cases mean shipping a
+complete release as soon as possible.
+
+Throughout the fix process we will keep you up to speed with how the fix
+is progressing. Once the fix is prepared, we will notify you that we
+believe we have a fix. Often we will ask you to confirm the fix resolves
+the problem in your environment, especially if we are not confident of
+our reproduction scenario.
+
+At this point, we will prepare for the release. We will obtain a CVE
+number if one is required, providing you with full credit for the
+discovery. We will also decide on a planned release date, and let you
+know when it is. This release date will *always* be on a weekday.
+
+At this point we will reach out to our major downstream packagers to
+notify them of an impending security-related patch so they can make
+arrangements. In addition, these packagers will be provided with the
+intended patch ahead of time, to ensure that they are able to promptly
+release their downstream packages. Currently the list of people we
+actively contact *ahead of a public release* is:
+
+-   Jeremy Cline, Red Hat (@jeremycline)
+-   Daniele Tricoli, Debian (@eriol)
+
+We will notify these individuals at least a week ahead of our planned
+release date to ensure that they have sufficient time to prepare. If you
+believe you should be on this list, please let one of the maintainers
+know at one of the email addresses at the top of this article.
+
+On release day, we will push the patch to our public repository, along
+with an updated changelog that describes the issue and credits you. We
+will then issue a PyPI release containing the patch.
+
+At this point, we will publicise the release. This will involve mails to
+mailing lists, Tweets, and all other communication mechanisms available
+to the core team.
+
+We will also explicitly mention which commits contain the fix to make it
+easier for other distributors and users to easily patch their own
+versions of requests if upgrading is not an option.
