This document outlines the security policy for [Project Name], a [Project Description]. We take security seriously and are committed to protecting both our users and their data.

Supported Versions

We prioritize security fixes for the latest supported versions (currently 5.1.x and 4.0.x). Older versions (5.0.x and below) are no longer receiving security updates and may be vulnerable to known exploits. We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported version to ensure optimal security.

Reporting a Vulnerability

We encourage responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities in our project. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to us via the following channels:

• Email: [Project Security Email Address]
• GitHub Issue: [Project GitHub Security Issue Tracker URL]

Please include the following information in your report:

• Description of the vulnerability: A clear and concise explanation of the vulnerability, including any steps to reproduce it.
• Affected versions: Indicate which version(s) of the project are vulnerable.
• Impact of the vulnerability: Describe the potential impact of the vulnerability, such as data compromise, denial-of-service attack, etc.
• Proof of concept (optional): If possible, provide any proof of concept code or evidence of the vulnerability.

Vulnerability Response Timeline

We aim to acknowledge vulnerability reports within 24 hours and provide an initial assessment within 72 hours. We will work diligently to fix confirmed vulnerabilities and release security patches as soon as possible.

Reporting Rewards (optional)

If you choose to publicly disclose a vulnerability, we encourage you to wait until a patch is available to avoid causing harm to our users. We may offer a reward for responsible disclosure of critical vulnerabilities based on our vulnerability reward program (link to program details, if applicable).

General Security Practices

• We regularly review our code for security vulnerabilities using static and dynamic analysis tools.
• We keep our dependencies up-to-date to mitigate known vulnerabilities in external libraries.
• We perform security audits at regular intervals to identify and address potential security weaknesses.

Thank you for helping us keep [Project Name] secure!

This policy is subject to change. We will update this document as needed to reflect any changes in our security practices.

Additionally, you may want to consider adding the following sections to your Security Policy:

• Responsible disclosure policy: Describe the expectations for responsible disclosure and what constitutes misuse of vulnerability information.
• Security bug bounty program (optional): If you have a bug bounty program, provide details about the program, such as eligibility criteria, reward amounts, and submission process.
• Third-party security practices: Outline how you secure your use of third-party services and libraries.
• Data security practices: Explain how you store and protect user data.

Remember to tailor this policy to your specific project and needs.
