This 'Supported Versions' section appears to be a template. Please replace the placeholder text and the example versions in the table with the actual supported versions of the 'Now in Android' app and their current security support status.


## Reporting a Vulnerability

Use this section to tell people how to report a vulnerability.

Tell them where to go, how often they can expect to get an update on a
reported vulnerability, what to expect if the vulnerability is accepted or
declined, etc.

This 'Reporting a Vulnerability' section is a template and lacks specific instructions. This is a critical part of the security policy. Please provide a clear process for reporters. A good practice is to enable and link to GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature, and set expectations for response times.

declined, etc.
Please report security vulnerabilities by using the [GitHub private vulnerability reporting feature](https://github.com/android/nowinandroid/security/advisories/new).
We aim to acknowledge receipt of the report within 48 hours and provide a more detailed response within 72 hours with the next steps.
