+At Sequelize, we prioritize security issues and will try to fix them as soon as they are disclosed.

+If you discover a security vulnerability, please reach the project maintainers privately. You can find related information in [CONTACT.md](./CONTACT.md).
+
+After validating & discussing scope of security vulnerability, we will set a time-frame for patch distribution. This time-frame may vary depending upon the nature of vulnerability.
