Security policy

Thank you for helping keep this project and its users safe. This document describes how to report a suspected vulnerability, which versions we support, and how we coordinate disclosure.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report suspected security vulnerabilities privately. Do not open a public GitHub issue for security reports.

  • Email: security@<please-edit> (placeholder — edit before merging)

We acknowledge new reports within 3 business days. We aim to triage and share a remediation plan within 14 days.

Supported versions

Security fixes are backported to the branches below. Older branches receive fixes only for high-severity issues on a best-effort basis.

Version Supported
main (latest) Yes
Older revisions Best-effort only

Scope

Security reports are welcome for anything shipped by this repository, including:

  • The application source code committed to main.
  • Packaging, containers, and deployment manifests under this repo.
  • Default configuration and bundled credentials/secrets in repo artifacts.

Out of scope:

  • Findings about third-party dependencies that do not require a change here — please file those with the upstream project first.
  • Denial-of-service that requires an attacker to already hold administrator access to the host running this software.

Disclosure

We prefer coordinated disclosure. Once a fix is available we publish a GitHub Security Advisory and release notes describing the impact and the upgrade path. Reporters are credited unless they request otherwise.

Safe harbour

We will not pursue legal action against good-faith researchers who:

  • Follow this policy.
  • Stop at the proof-of-concept stage — do not exfiltrate data, degrade services, or pivot beyond the minimum needed to demonstrate the issue.
  • Avoid data that is not their own.
