Someone found a vulnerability that leads to a DoS attack on my api, but I suspect it's Railway related. Can someone contact on DM? Or is there a better place to disclose this?

Application still runs, doesn't crash and doesn't appear to use all available resources, but requests fail with CORS error, while the malicious requests are running

If you’re concerned this is a platform issue please provide as much info as possible to security@railway.app for triage
