## Scope
12+
13+
- **Denial of Service (DoS):** We consider DoS vectors to be ordinary bugs and not security vulnerabilities.
14+
You may post them openly on the issue tracker. We will not issue any advisories or CVEs for them.
15+
The reasoning here is that mitmproxy is an interactive inspection tool, not a web server for high volume traffic.
16+
It can typically be overwhelmed by sending too many requests; any DoS is just a variation of this.
17+
- **All other vulnerabilities:** Please report them using the process below.
