# Security policy
## Reporting a vulnerability
Report suspected security vulnerabilities in Qt by email to
<security@qt-project.org>. Do not report them in the public bug tracker at
bugreports.qt.io.
If you hold a commercial license, you can instead report the issue to the Qt
Company support team through the support portal, using the "Security Issues"
category.
## The policy
[QUIP 15](https://contribute.qt-project.org/quips/15) is the Qt Project
Security Policy. It is the authoritative source for how the project handles
security issues, and it covers:
* How reports are received, acknowledged, and triaged, and in what time frame.
* Who is responsible for addressing an issue, and how it is escalated.
* How issues are disclosed, including CVE handling and notification of
packagers.
* Which versions of Qt fixes are guaranteed for.
Security announcements are published to the
[announce mailing list](https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/announce).
Qt customers with a commercial license now have the opportunity to subscribe to
the Qt Early Warning List in the [Customer Portal](https://account.qt.io/). The
EWL subscription requires an active
[Commercial Qt license](https://www.qt.io/development/qt-framework/commercial-qt).
