Microsoft takes the security of our software products and services seriously, which includes all source code repositories managed through our GitHub organizations, which include[Microsoft](https://github.com/Microsoft),[Azure](https://github.com/Azure),[DotNet](https://github.com/dotnet),[AspNet](https://github.com/aspnet) and[Xamarin](https://github.com/xamarin).

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in any Microsoft-owned repository that meets[Microsoft's definition of a security vulnerability](https://aka.ms/security.md/definition), please report it to us as described below.

**Since MS-DOS is historical reference software, this file is in place as a template only.**

**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**

Instead, please report them to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) at[https://msrc.microsoft.com/create-report](https://aka.ms/security.md/msrc/create-report).
