+## Supported Versions
+
+Security updates are applied only to the latest release.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you have discovered a security vulnerability in this project, please report it privately. **Do not disclose it as a public issue.** This gives us time to work with you to fix the issue before public exposure, reducing the chance that the exploit will be used before a patch is released. 
+Therefore, we ask that you align with us before any public disclosure.
+
+Please report it at [security advisory](https://github.com/polymer/polymer/security/advisories/new).
