The Cornerstone theme team (that's one person, me) takes security bugs seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings.

  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

What to Expect

  1. Confirm receipt of your vulnerability report
