**TL;DR:** Have a text file called ```security.txt``` under ```/.well-known``` directory (/.well-known/security.txt) or in the root directory (/security.txt) of your website or your web application in production. ```security.txt``` file should contain details using which security researchers can report vulnerabilities and also the contact details of the responsible person/group (email id and/or phone numbers) to whom the reports have to be sent.
