+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+To report a security vulnerability found in the Buildroot build system itself,
+please send an email to [security at buildroot.org](mailto:security at buildroot.org).
+
+## Vulnerabilities in packages
+
+Buildroot is a build system that cross-compiles packages from third-party
+sources. The Buildroot developers are not responsible for security
+vulnerabilities in these packages. Such vulnerabilities should be reported
+directly to the upstream project that maintains the affected package.
+
+When vulnerabilities are fixed upstream, send a patch to update the affected
+packages in Buildroot.
