+## Supported Versions

+Only the `master` branch of the application will receive security updates.

+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+Please report any _sensitive_, _critical_, or _urgent_ vulnerablities by using <a href="https://smartstore.com/en/contact">our contact form</a> saying 
+you need to communicate an important security issue.
+
+After assessing the issue, we will work out how we will handle the matter and let you know how to proceed. If the vulnerablity is neither _sensitive_, _critical_, or _urgent_, 
+please just create a <a href="https://github.com/smartstore/Smartstore/issues/new/choose">new issue</a> as per normal.
