## GitHub Advisories
We receive *advisories* submitted on GitHub but we consider them to be
*reports*. Since we want to keep the original report as-is and preserved, we
cannot use this system to author nor publish the actual final advisory for a
confirmed vulnerability.
The security reports submitted on GitHub are not published, instead they are
always closed weather confirmed or not.
Confirmed security reports are instead published as security advisories on the
curl website in sync with the curl release in which the fix is published for
the vulnerability.
Unfortunately, GitHub does not allow us to disclose the reports. They can only
be published as "advisories" - and they are not.
