Pull request overview

This pull request adds a SECURITY.md file to establish a security policy for the project. However, the file currently contains only placeholder/template text and requires customization with actual project-specific information before it can provide value to users.

Key changes:

  • Added SECURITY.md file with a template structure for supported versions
  • Included placeholder sections for vulnerability reporting guidelines

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

This placeholder text should be removed or replaced with actual project-specific guidance before merging. The current text is generic template content that doesn't provide value to users.

Use this section to tell people how to report a vulnerability.

Tell them where to go, how often they can expect to get an update on a
reported vulnerability, what to expect if the vulnerability is accepted or
declined, etc.

This section contains only placeholder text without actual vulnerability reporting instructions. It should include specific information such as:

  • The email address or platform to use for reporting (e.g., security@project.org, GitHub Security Advisories)
  • Expected response time
  • The disclosure process and timeline
  • Any encryption keys or secure communication methods if applicable

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in this project, please report it to the maintainers rather than opening a public issue.
**Preferred method:** Use the private reporting channel provided by the hosting platform (for example, GitHub Security Advisories via the “Report a vulnerability” button on the repository’s Security tab).
**What to expect**
- We aim to acknowledge your report within **3 business days**.
- We aim to provide an initial assessment and, where possible, a remediation plan or next steps within **7–10 business days**.
- During investigation and remediation, we may request additional information or proof‑of‑concept details to reproduce the issue.
**Disclosure process and timeline**
- We ask that you **do not disclose** the vulnerability publicly until we have confirmed and fixed the issue or agreed on a coordinated disclosure date.
- For confirmed vulnerabilities affecting supported versions, we will work to develop and release a fix as soon as reasonably possible, prioritizing issues by severity and impact.
- After a fix or adequate mitigation is available, we may publish a security advisory describing the vulnerability, affected versions, and remediation steps.
- Our goal is to resolve and disclose most issues within **90 days** of initial report, but complex issues may require more time; in such cases, we will keep you informed of progress.
**Encryption**
At this time, we do not offer a dedicated encryption key for vulnerability reports. If you require an encrypted communication channel, please mention this in your initial report so we can arrange an appropriate method where possible.
