This is PR is for adding security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure report. This file is crucial because when security researchers and bug hunters uncover vulnerabilities in an organization’s ecosystem, how do they even know who to reach out to? Without clear reporting channels, researchers may be unable to quickly discern where to report vulnerabilities – meanwhile the organization remains vulnerable to attackers.

If you want this file to be served at the website root, it needs to live in this root directory. You'll also need to add an Apache alias like this one so that Apache serves the file properly.
