We take the security of this project seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to us as described below.

DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, discussions, or pull requests.

Instead, please send an email to: [email protected]

Include the following information:

• Type of issue (e.g., buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
• Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
• The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
• Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
• Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
• Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
• Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

1. Private Disclosure: We will work with you to understand and resolve the issue privately
2. Coordinated Timeline: We will coordinate with you on the disclosure timeline
3. Public Disclosure: We will publicly disclose the vulnerability after a fix is available
4. Credit: We will credit you in our security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

We use the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v3.1 to assess severity:

Security updates will be released as:

• Emergency releases for critical vulnerabilities
• Priority releases for high severity vulnerabilities
• Regular releases for medium/low severity vulnerabilities

Subscribe to our security advisories:

• GitHub Security Advisories: [Repository Security Tab]
• Security notifications: [YOUR-NOTIFICATION-METHOD]

This vulnerability disclosure policy applies to:

• [PROJECT-NAME] core application
• Official [PROJECT-NAME] containers and packages
• [PROJECT-NAME] documentation that could lead to security issues

The following are generally considered out of scope:

• Denial of service attacks requiring excessive resources
• Issues in third-party dependencies (please report to the respective projects)
• Social engineering attacks
• Physical attacks against infrastructure

We will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

• Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations and disruptions to others
• Only interact with accounts you own or with explicit permission of the account holder
• Do not access, modify, or delete data belonging to others
• Do not perform attacks that could harm the reliability/integrity of our services
• Do not use social engineering techniques against our employees or contractors
• Comply with this policy

We recognize and appreciate the security research community's contributions to keeping [PROJECT-NAME] secure. Researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities may be recognized in:

• Our security hall of fame (with permission)
