2. Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
3. Location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
4. Special configuration required to reproduce the issue
5. Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
6. Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
7. Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

3. Fill out the form with details about the vulnerability

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours of receiving the report
• Status Update: Within 7 days with an initial assessment
• Resolution: Security fixes will be prioritized and released as soon as possible

• Authentication: ASP.NET Core Identity with secure password policies
• Authorization: Role-based access control
• Data Protection: Entity Framework Core with parameterized queries
• HTTPS: SSL/TLS encryption in production
• Session Management: Secure session handling
• Input Validation: Server-side validation for all user inputs
• SQL Injection Prevention: Use of Entity Framework and parameterized queries

• Two-factor authentication (2FA)

• Automated security testing in CI/CD pipeline

When contributing to this project, please follow these security guidelines:

• All code changes must be reviewed by at least one maintainer
• Security-sensitive changes require additional review
• Use static analysis tools to identify potential vulnerabilities

• Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize user inputs
• Output Encoding: Properly encode output to prevent XSS attacks
• Authentication: Never store passwords in plain text
• Authorization: Implement proper access controls
• Error Handling: Don't expose sensitive information in error messages
• Logging: Log security events but avoid logging sensitive data

• Keep all dependencies up to date
• Regularly audit dependencies for known vulnerabilities
• Use tools like dotnet list package --vulnerable to check for vulnerabilities

• File Upload: If file upload functionality is added, implement proper validation
• Payment Processing: Ensure PCI compliance if payment features are added
• API Endpoints: Secure all API endpoints with proper authentication
• Database Access: Use least privilege principle for database connections

• Store sensitive configuration in secure locations (Azure Key Vault, etc.)
• Use environment variables for secrets in development
• Never commit secrets to version control
• Implement proper connection string security

Before each release, ensure:

• All dependencies are updated to latest secure versions
• Security tests pass
• No sensitive information in logs or error messages
• Authentication and authorization work correctly
• Input validation is implemented for all user inputs
• HTTPS is enforced in production
• Security headers are properly configured
• Database connections use least privilege access

• Security updates will be announced via GitHub releases
• Critical security issues will be communicated through multiple channels
• Users are encouraged to update to the latest version promptly

• Critical: Update immediately
• High: Update within 7 days
• Medium: Update within 30 days
• Low: Update at next convenient maintenance window

• OWASP Top 10
• ASP.NET Core Security
• .NET Security Guidelines
• Microsoft Security Response Center

• Static Analysis: SonarQube, CodeQL
• Dependency Scanning: OWASP Dependency Check, Snyk
• Runtime Protection: Application security monitoring

We believe in responsible disclosure and working with the security community to improve the security of our project. We appreciate security researchers who:

• Follow responsible disclosure practices
• Provide detailed and actionable reports
• Work with us to understand and resolve issues
• Respect user privacy and data
