Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

If you discover a security vulnerability in this project, please follow these steps to report it:

  1. Do Not Publicly Disclose: Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability until it has been addressed. This helps prevent exploitation and protects our users.

    • Description: A clear and concise description of the vulnerability.
    • Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue.
    • Impact Assessment: An assessment of the potential impact of the vulnerability.
    • Proof of Concept: (Optional) Code or demonstration that illustrates the issue.

Handling Security Reports

Upon receiving a security report, we will follow these procedures:

  1. Acknowledge Receipt: We will acknowledge receipt of the report.
  2. Assess the Issue: Our team will review and assess the reported vulnerability to determine its severity and impact.
  3. Communicate Status: We will provide updates on the status of the issue, including an estimated timeline for a fix if applicable.
  4. Fix and Release: We will work to address the vulnerability as quickly as possible and release a patch or update. The release will include details about the fix and any necessary mitigation steps.
  5. Credit the Reporter: With the reporter’s permission, we will credit them in our release notes or other appropriate documentation.

Responsible Disclosure

We encourage responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. If you are unsure whether a potential issue is a security vulnerability, please err on the side of caution and contact us directly.
