GitHub introduces rate limits on private vulnerability reports
Original: Rate limits for private vulnerability reports
GitHub has announced rate limits for private vulnerability reporting, capping how many private security reports users can submit over a given period. The change aims to reduce spam and abuse of the private vulnerability reporting feature while keeping genuine reports flowing to maintainers. Security researchers and open source maintainers are watching how the limits might affect coordinated disclosure workflows.
Why now: Developers and security researchers are assessing how the new limits could slow down responsible disclosure of software vulnerabilities.
