**Security note**: this issue is public. If any flagged finding is a real, exploitable vulnerability, please redirect to your `SECURITY.md` policy or open a [private security advisory](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/guidance-on-reporting-and-writing-information-about-vulnerabilities/privately-reporting-a-security-vulnerability) instead. We're happy to close this and re-submit privately.

Already filed
This repo publishes a SECURITY.md policy and the scan contains 9 Critical/High security finding(s). Public issue filing would violate coordinated disclosure. Submit privately via the project's security reporting channel.
Megaproject â high spam risk
Could not determine 'neovim/neovim' star count (GitHub API rate-limited or unreachable). When in doubt about repo size, prefer opening a focused PR or a discussion rather than an issue.
Already filed
27/62 findings (44%) on this scan are already flagged as test-file, won't-fix, or suppressed. The scan is too noisy to file as a single issue. Curate down to specific actionable findings, or address the FP source first.

The button opens GitHubâs new-issue page in a new tab. You will see the title + body pre-filled â review, edit if you want, then click GitHubâs "Submit new issue" button. Repobility never posts anything on your behalf.

For real security findings on big repos: use the project's SECURITY.md or private advisory flow instead of a public issue.
