  AutoRest carries the standard Microsoft SECURITY.md (MSRC block v0.0.7) in its
  repository root. Vulnerabilities are reported to the Microsoft Security
  Response Center, not to the AutoRest maintainers, and the project inherits
  Microsoft's Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure policy and bug bounty
  program. AutoRest publishes no /.well-known/security.txt of its own because it
  operates no domain — the project lives entirely on github.com.

  published: false
  note: >-
    /.well-known/security.txt was not probed as an AutoRest asset — the only
    host serving this project is github.com, whose security.txt belongs to
    GitHub Inc., not to AutoRest. Recording it here would be false credit.
