Only the main branch is actively supported with security updates. Generated
projects should pin to a released template version and follow the update
guidance in docs/MAINTENANCE_SECURITY.md.
Do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.
- Email the maintainer via the address listed in the GitHub profile, or
- Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:
https://github.com/Create-Python-App/cpa-templates/security/advisories/new
Include:
- Affected template or extension slug (e.g.
fastapi-starter,fastapi-auth-jwt) - Steps to reproduce and impact assessment
- Suggested fix or mitigation, if available
You will receive an initial response within 72 hours. If the issue is confirmed, a fix will be coordinated and a CVE/advisory published as needed.
See docs/MAINTENANCE_SECURITY.md for the full triage matrix, fix patterns for
create-python-app vs cpa-templates, and audit commands (pip-audit,
osv-scanner, CodeQL).
Coordinated disclosure is preferred. Please allow up to 90 days before public disclosure unless a shorter timeline is mutually agreed.
