Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via email to www.github.com/radhi1991

You should receive a response within 48 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up via email to ensure we received your original message.

Please include the requested information listed below (as much as you can provide) to help us better understand the nature and scope of the possible issue:

• Type of issue (buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
• Full paths of source file(s) related to the vulnerability
• 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 it

This information will help us triage your report more quickly.

1. Code Review: All code changes must be reviewed by at least one maintainer
2. Dependency Updates: Keep dependencies updated and monitor for vulnerabilities
3. Security Testing: Run security scans before submitting PRs
4. Secrets Management: Never commit secrets or sensitive data
5. Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize user inputs

1. Keep Updated: Always use the latest stable version
2. Monitor Logs: Regularly check application logs for suspicious activity
3. Network Security: Use HTTPS in production and secure network configurations
4. Access Control: Implement proper authentication and authorization
5. Backup Strategy: Maintain regular backups of your data

We currently do not have a formal bug bounty program, but we do appreciate security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities. We may offer recognition or other forms of appreciation for significant findings.

This project follows security best practices and standards:

• OWASP Top 10: We follow OWASP security guidelines
• CWE/SANS Top 25: We address common weakness enumerations
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework: We align with NIST guidelines
• ISO 27001: We follow information security management principles

We track and report on security metrics:

• Vulnerability Response Time: Average time to patch vulnerabilities
• Security Score: OSSF Scorecard rating
• Dependency Health: Regular dependency vulnerability scans
• Code Quality: Static analysis and security linting results
