## Reporting a vulnerability

-If you want to report a security issue, please privately disclose the issue to the vim-security mailing list
-vim-se...@googlegroups.com
-
-This is a private list, read only by the maintainers, but anybody can post, after moderation.
+If you want to report a security issue, please privately disclose the issue either via:
+- The vim-security mailing list: vim-se...@googlegroups.com
+ This is a private list, read only by the maintainers, but anybody can post.
+- [GitHub Security Advisories](https://github.com/vim/vim/security/advisories/new)

**Please don't publicly disclose the issue until it has been addressed by us.**
+
+## Guidelines for reporting
+- Clearly explain **why** the behaviour is a security issue, not just that a bug exists.
+- Keep reports concise and focused.
+- Do not flood us with a list of issues. Report them one by one to ensure to not overwhelm us with the work load.
+- Do **not** submit AI-generated reports without carefully reviewing them first. Low-quality or
+ speculative reports waste maintainer time and will be closed without action, and repeat offenders **will be banned**.
