Reporting security issues in HAProxy
------------------------------------
-Security issues may ONLY be reported against the LATEST released version 3.5
+Security issues may ONLY be reported against the LATEST released version of a
branch, as indicated on https://www.haproxy.org/. It is the reporter's sole
responsibility to verify that the issue exists in the upstream source code of
the latest release for a given branch before submitting a report. Reports are
frequently generated against older versions containing known, previously
resolved bugs. Triaging these duplicate claims severely drains maintainer
-resources. If you are analyzing a specific version 3.5
+resources. If you are analyzing a specific version and cannot test the latest
release, you MUST review your version's bugs at https://www.haproxy.org/bugs/
and check the repository history to verify whether the fixes missing from that
version address the issue. If the bug has already been resolved upstream, you
include a reproducer, and ideally a proposed and tested patch, as well as a
valid name under which the report can be credited.
+Always send one e-mail per report, so that reports can be easily dispatched to
+different maintainers. Do NOT attach binary files (tar.gz, zip, pdf, ...) as
+they are impossible to read inline and quote when replying. Just join any file
+as plain text (attached or inline depending on the intended use). Do NOT send
+reports to the haproxy.com address which is handled by a different team and is
+for different products. Always use a valid e-mail address when submitting your
+report. Submissions for which the reporter doesn't respond to questions in a
+timely manner will simply be dropped.

Auxiliary tools in dev/ and admin/ are not intended for production use and are
by nature out of the security scope. Please report bugs affecting them via the
regular channels.
