2022-12-13 11:39:39 +00:00
GitHub takes the security of our software products and services seriously, including all of the open source code repositories managed through our GitHub organizations, such as [GitHub ](https://github.com/GitHub ).

2022-12-13 11:39:39 +00:00
Even though [open source repositories are outside of the scope of our bug bounty program ](https://bounty.github.com/index.html#scope ) and therefore not eligible for bounty rewards, we will ensure that your finding gets passed along to the appropriate maintainers for remediation.
