Proposed update to streamline vulnerability reports through the Redis Vulnerability Disclosure Program.

This removes the sentence in SECURITY.md that directs researchers to report directly via GitHub's "Report a Vulnerability".

This change should be published in combination with disabling "Private vulnerability reporting" in the GitHub settings for this repository, so that the policy and the repository settings agree.

By contributing, I agree to the Redis Software Grant and Contributor License Agreement.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only policy change with no runtime or security-code impact.

Overview
Reporting a Vulnerability in SECURITY.md now directs researchers only to the Redis Vulnerability Disclosure Program, with no alternate path via GitHub’s “Report a Vulnerability.”

The removed wording and blank line were the only substantive edits; the rest of the security policy is unchanged. This should be paired with turning off private vulnerability reporting in the repo’s GitHub settings so policy and configuration match.
