We actively support the following versions of the RSO Framework:

The RSO Framework is designed with security in mind, but we take all security concerns seriously.

Please report any security vulnerabilities you discover, including:

• Input validation bypasses that could lead to code injection
• Resource exhaustion attacks through malicious input parameters
• Information disclosure through error messages or logging
• Denial of service vulnerabilities in recursive operations
• Dependency vulnerabilities in third-party packages

Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities by emailing:

• Email: [Create a GitHub issue with "SECURITY" label for now]
• Subject: [SECURITY] RSO Framework Vulnerability Report

Include the following information:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact assessment
• Suggested fix (if available)

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Vulnerability Assessment: Within 1 week
• Fix Development: Within 2 weeks (depending on severity)
• Public Disclosure: After fix is released and users have time to update

The RSO Framework implements several security measures:

• Type checking for all function parameters
• Range validation for numeric inputs
• Identifier validation for predicate names
• Depth limits to prevent resource exhaustion

• Configurable depth limits for recursive operations
• Memory usage monitoring and cleanup
• Timeout protection for long-running operations
• Safe evaluation without arbitrary code execution

• Sanitized error messages that don't leak sensitive information
• Graceful failure modes that don't crash the system
• Logging controls to prevent information disclosure
• Exception hierarchy for proper error categorization

• Minimal dependencies to reduce attack surface
• Version pinning for reproducible builds
• Regular updates of security-critical dependencies
• Vulnerability scanning of dependency tree

When using the RSO Framework:

1. Validate Input: Always validate user input before passing to RSO functions
2. Set Limits: Use appropriate depth limits for recursive operations
3. Monitor Resources: Monitor memory and CPU usage in production
4. Update Regularly: Keep the framework updated to the latest version
5. Isolate Execution: Run RSO operations in isolated environments when processing untrusted input

• Exponential growth: Xi operator complexity grows exponentially with depth
• Memory usage: Large attractors can consume significant memory
• Mitigation: Use depth limits and monitor resource usage

• Expression complexity: Complex symbolic expressions can be computationally expensive
• Memory leaks: SymPy expressions may accumulate in memory
• Mitigation: Regular cleanup and expression simplification

• Stack overflow: Deep recursion could potentially cause stack overflow
• Infinite loops: Malformed input could cause infinite recursion
• Mitigation: Depth limits and iterative implementations where possible

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

1. Private reporting of vulnerabilities
2. Coordinated disclosure with affected parties
3. Public disclosure only after fixes are available
4. Credit to security researchers who report vulnerabilities responsibly

Security updates will be:

• Prioritized over feature development
• Released promptly after validation
• Clearly marked in release notes
• Backwards compatible when possible

For security-related questions or concerns:

• Security Issues: Create GitHub issue with "SECURITY" label
• General Contact: Create GitHub issue or discussion
• GitHub Issues: For non-security bugs only

Thank you for helping keep the RSO Framework secure!
