Security is a priority in this project. We greatly appreciate the efforts made by the security community to improve the integrity of our system.

If you discover a security vulnerability in the project, please:

1. Do NOT publicly disclose the vulnerability in GitHub Issues, forums, or mailing lists.
2. Send an email to our security team at [[email protected]] with details of the vulnerability.
3. Include the following elements in your report:
   • Description of the vulnerability and its potential impact
   • Detailed steps to reproduce the problem
   • Affected versions
   • Possible mitigations or solutions if you know them

We commit to:

1. Confirm receipt of your report within 48 hours
2. Provide an initial assessment of the report within 7 days
3. Maintain communication with you about progress toward resolution
4. Acknowledge your contribution when the vulnerability is resolved (if you wish)

We follow a coordinated disclosure model:

1. The issue will be addressed as soon as possible
2. Once a solution is developed, we will coordinate a publication date with the discoverer
3. We will publish a security advisory detailing the vulnerability, its impact, and how users can protect themselves

We currently do not offer a formal bug bounty program, but we will publicly acknowledge those who report significant vulnerabilities (with their permission).

This security policy applies to all components of the 4chan modernization project, including:

• Backend source code
• Frontend source code
• Infrastructure as code
• CI/CD systems
• Deployment configurations

This project implements the following practices to maintain security:

• Automated dependency analysis for vulnerabilities
• Manual code review for sensitive changes
• Security testing integrated into the CI/CD pipeline
• Regular security scanning in production infrastructure
• Periodic security audits

In case of a confirmed security incident:

1. We will form an incident response team
2. Investigate the scope and impact
3. Develop and implement mitigations
4. Communicate to affected users as necessary
5. Publish a post-incident analysis and future preventive measures
