Problem
During Public Preview, new users and first-time contributors may report setup problems by pasting logs, configuration snippets, screenshots, or environment details into public GitHub issues.
This creates a risk that someone may accidentally share passwords, access tokens, private URLs, customer data, or confidential logs.
We need a visible warning that helps users report useful information without exposing sensitive data.
Proposed Solution
Add a short security and sensitive data notice to README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, or the issue templates.
Suggested wording:
## Security and Sensitive Data
Please do not post passwords, access tokens, private logs, customer data, or confidential information in GitHub issues.
If you believe you found a security problem, use the private security reporting path if available, or contact the maintainers directly.
Suggested area:
README.md, near the feedback, support, or security section
CONTRIBUTING.md
- Bug report / issue templates if available
Expected outcome:
Users should clearly understand what not to share in public GitHub issues.
Acceptance criteria:
Alternatives Considered
Leave this warning only in the security policy, but many first-time contributors may not read the security policy before opening a public issue.
Additional Context
This is a documentation-focused good first issue. It is suitable for first-time contributors and does not require local Rust setup.
