Please include the following information in your report:

1. Description: A clear description of the vulnerability
2. Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
3. Impact: Potential impact and severity of the vulnerability
4. Affected Versions: Which versions are affected
5. Mitigation: Any suggested fixes or workarounds

We will acknowledge your report within 48 hours and provide a more detailed response within 7 days indicating our next steps.

We will keep you informed about our progress throughout the process of fixing the vulnerability.

• We follow a 90-day disclosure timeline from the initial report
• We will credit you (if desired) in our security advisory
• We will not disclose vulnerability details until a fix is available

When contributing to this project, please:

1. Never commit sensitive data such as:

   • API keys or tokens
   • Passwords or credentials
   • Private keys or certificates
   • Personal information

2. Use secure coding practices:

   • Validate all inputs
   • Use parameterized queries for database operations
   • Implement proper error handling
   • Follow the principle of least privilege

3. Dependencies:

   • Keep dependencies updated
   • Use tools like safety to check for known vulnerabilities
   • Review dependency changes in pull requests

When using this framework:

1. Environment Security:

   • Store credentials securely (use environment variables or secret management)
   • Run tests in isolated environments
   • Don't commit sensitive configuration files

2. Network Security:

   • Use HTTPS for all communications
   • Validate SSL/TLS certificates
   • Be cautious with proxy configurations

3. Access Control:

   • Limit access to test environments
   • Use role-based access control where applicable
   • Monitor and log access to sensitive systems

This framework includes several security features:

• SSL/TLS Validation: Automatic certificate validation
• Header Security: Security header checks and recommendations
• Input Validation: Comprehensive input sanitization
• Credential Management: Secure credential handling

• Vulnerability Scanning: Integration with security scanning tools
• Dependency Checking: Automated dependency vulnerability detection
• Code Analysis: Static security analysis with Bandit

• Security Monitoring: Real-time security event monitoring
• Alert System: Automated alerts for security incidents
• Audit Logging: Comprehensive security event logging

Security updates will be released as patch versions with the following naming convention:

• Critical: 1.0.x (immediate release)
• High: 1.0.x (within 7 days)
• Medium: 1.0.x (within 30 days)
• Low: 1.0.x (next regular release)
