+## FreeRTOS Labs project
+
+This repository is a **FreeRTOS Labs** project. As described on the
+[FreeRTOS Labs introduction page](https://www.freertos.org/Documentation/03-Libraries/05-FreeRTOS-labs/01-Introduction),
+Labs projects are functional but may be incomplete, experimental, or provided primarily for
+open-source community interest. They are **not** part of the actively maintained, released
+FreeRTOS libraries. Please consider the limitations described on the Labs page before
+concluding that an observed behavior is a security vulnerability.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you discover a potential security issue in this project we ask that you notify AWS/Amazon Security
+via our [vulnerability reporting page](https://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/) or directly via email to aws-security@amazon.com.
+Please do **not** create a public github issue.
