We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please:

1. Email: Send details to security@storage-daemon.com
2. Subject: [SECURITY] Brief description
3. Include:
   • Detailed description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact assessment
   • Suggested fix (if available)

Please provide as much information as possible:

• Vulnerability Type: (e.g., Path Traversal, Code Injection, etc.)
• Affected Component: Which part of the daemon is affected
• Prerequisites: What conditions must exist for exploitation
• Impact: What could an attacker achieve
• Proof of Concept: Steps to demonstrate the issue
• Environment: OS, Node.js version, daemon version

We aim to respond to security reports within:

• Initial Response: 48 hours
• Triage Complete: 1 week
• Fix Available: 2-4 weeks (depending on complexity)
• Public Disclosure: After fix is released

Security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities will be:

• Credited in release notes (if desired)
• Listed in our security acknowledgments
• Eligible for our bug bounty program (when available)
