Comment (by fearzzzz):

 Replying to [comment:3 oliversild]:
 > When submitting a plugin to the WP.org repo, plugin developer should
 have a requirement to add a link to their vulnerability disclosure policy
 or to security contact form.
 Thus, we will face the situation that most developers aren't ready to talk
 about security, and this will only confuse/scare them. It may also turn
 out that the whole subject will become more complicated.

 Why not add this link ("Report a security issue") as a first "trial" step,
 which would open a simple form, the data of which would be sent to two
 addresses - the WordPress Plugins team (just to keep an eye on the
 situation and have "evidences" that there was a contact attempt and so on)
 and to the developer?
