Conversation
Private vulnerability reporting is now enabled for the repository, so the advisory form SECURITY.md points to works for any GitHub user. Rewrite SECURITY.md to cover: - supported versions for all four Maven coordinates, with a note that upgrading the core artifact is drop-in (no public API removed between 1.2.3 and 1.4.0) - the Security Advisories page, the GitHub-account requirement, and an email fallback to the project leaders - what to include in a report, what is in and out of scope, and best-effort response goals Link the policy from README.md, and add updating SECURITY.md to the release notes.

encoder 1.2.3 targets Java 5 (class file major 49) and 1.4.0 targets Java 8 (major 52). The public API is a superset, but the upgrade is not drop-in for applications still on Java 5 through 7. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
SECURITY.mdsent reporters to the private advisory form, but private vulnerability reporting was disabled, so only admins could use it. The file also had no fallback contact, scope, or response expectations, and its version table didn't name the artifacts.Change
Private vulnerability reporting is now enabled in the repository settings.

The release-verification section (signatures and the signing-key fingerprint) waits until the key is published. That work is tracked in #110 and #95, and this PR adds no placeholder for it.
