We release patches for security vulnerabilities for the following versions:

We take security issues seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Send a detailed report to: security@devtools-helper.example.com

Or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature:

1. Go to the Security tab
2. Click "Report a vulnerability"
3. Fill in the details

Your report should include:

• Description: A clear description of the vulnerability
• Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
• Impact: What an attacker could achieve by exploiting this vulnerability
• Affected Versions: Which versions are affected
• Potential Fix: If you have suggestions for fixing the vulnerability

• Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours
• Initial Assessment: Within 7 days
• Resolution Target: Within 30 days for critical issues

When using DevTools Helper, follow these security practices:

# ❌ Don't store sensitive data in config files committed to git
config.set("database.password", "secret123")

# ✅ Use environment variables for sensitive data
config.load_from_env("APP_", {
    "APP_DB_PASSWORD": "database.password"
})

# ❌ Don't expose the dev server to public networks
devtools serve --host 0.0.0.0

# ✅ Keep dev server on localhost
devtools serve --host 127.0.0.1

• Always review generated code before deploying
• Update generated dependencies regularly
• Configure security linters in your CI/CD pipeline

The code quality checker includes security-related checks:

# Check for common security issues
devtools check-quality ./src

We use:

• Dependabot for automated dependency updates
• CodeQL for code security analysis
• Bandit for Python-specific security checks

Once a vulnerability is fixed:

1. We will release a patched version
2. Publish a security advisory
3. Credit the reporter (if desired)
4. Update this security policy if needed

Stay informed about security updates:

• Watch this repository for releases
• Subscribe to GitHub security advisories
• Check the CHANGELOG for security-related updates
