Hi,

I forwarded my message to the security team on Monday 
(security at qt-project.org <mailto:security at qt-project.org>).
I didn't get any answer except this:

Your mail to 'Security' with the subject

     Fwd: Re: [Development] WebSocket Module [CVE-2018-21035]

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

     Post by non-member to a members-only list

Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator's decision.  If you would like to cancel
this posting, please visit the following URL:

     https://lists.qt-project.org/confirm/security/11fd883d10074e8edcdd6a04e173199060299612


Your link says this:
Any issue reported to security at qt-project.org 
<mailto:security at qt-project.org> should receive (at least) an 
acknowledgment of receipt within 48 hours
Any issue reported should be triaged to determine the risk it poses to 
end users of Qt within 96 hours of the initial report to 
security at qt-project.org <mailto:security at qt-project.org>.

The 96 hours delay expired.

What to do now ?
