chore(release): 2.33.2

macOS saves the download URL in the metadata of the downloaded file.
This means that the downloaded file contains a metadata item with the JWT
token of the user. If the user were to share this file with someone else,
they would have access to their account using the JWT in the metadata
during the validity of the JWT.

The JWT has been removed from the URLs. Since the user is logged in, there
is an authentication cookie set. A JWT in the URL is not necessary.

 ## Reporting a Vulnerability
 
-Vulnerabilities should be reported to filebrowser@googlegroups.com - which is a private, maintainer-only group. Maintainers will attempt to respond to/confirm reports within 2-3 days, but if you believe your report to be "critical" to user safety and security, please note as such in the subject. We have tens of thousands of users using our software, and take security vulnerabilities seriously.
+Vulnerabilities with critical impact should be reported on the [Security](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/security) page of this repository, which is a private way of communicating vulnerabilities to maintainers. This project is in maintenance-only mode and it can take a while until someone gets back to you.
+
+If it is not a critical vulnerability, please open an issue and we will categorize it as a security issue. By giving visibility, we can get more help from the community at fixing such issues.
