We maintain security updates for the following versions of Rust Modular Projects:

• Patches for security vulnerabilities are provided for all supported versions
• Critical updates are released as soon as possible
• Non-critical updates are bundled with regular releases

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. Please follow these steps to report a vulnerability:

1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
2. Email your findings to [[email protected]]
3. Encrypt sensitive information using our PGP key

• Detailed description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce
• Potential impact
• Suggested fix (if available)

You can expect:

1. Initial Response: Within 48 hours
2. Status Update: Within 5 business days
3. Vulnerability Assessment: Within 10 business days
4. Fix Implementation: Timeline provided based on severity

We classify vulnerabilities according to the following criteria:

1. Code Security

   • Use safe Rust practices
   • Avoid unsafe blocks unless absolutely necessary
   • Follow OWASP secure coding guidelines

2. Dependency Management

   • Regular cargo audit checks
   • Keep dependencies updated
   • Use version pinning for critical dependencies

3. Testing Requirements

   • Security test coverage
   • Fuzz testing for parsing operations
   • Regular penetration testing

1. Installation Security

   • Verify package signatures
   • Use official release channels
   • Check SHA-256 hashes

2. Configuration Security

   • Follow principle of least privilege
   • Use secure defaults
   • Regular security audits

1. Private Disclosure

   • Security issues are handled privately
   • CVE assignments when applicable
   • Coordinated disclosure with affected parties

2. Public Disclosure

   • After patch release
   • Full disclosure in security advisory
   • Credit to reporters (if desired)

Our security features include:

• Memory safety through Rust's ownership system
• Safe concurrent programming practices
• Input validation and sanitization
• Secure cryptographic implementations
• Regular security audits

This project adheres to:

• OWASP Secure Coding Practices
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• Rust Security Working Group guidelines

We currently do not maintain a bug bounty program. However, we appreciate and acknowledge security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities.

• Subscribe to our security mailing list
• Watch our GitHub repository
• Follow our security advisory RSS feed

Security Team:

• Email: [[email protected]]
• PGP Key: [Add your PGP key fingerprint]
• Emergency Contact: [Add emergency contact if available]

We appreciate the security research community. Researchers who report vulnerabilities will be acknowledged in our security advisories (unless they prefer to remain anonymous).

This policy may be updated or revised. All changes will be documented in our changelog.
