We follow semantic versioning with strict security support windows:
| Version | Supported | Security Updates | End of Life |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.x.x | Full Support | Critical/High | N/A |
| < 1.0 | Development | None | Pre-release |
Important
Only the latest stable release receives security updates. Users must upgrade to maintain security posture.
This project implements multiple layers of security controls:
- Content Security Policy (CSP) 3.0 - Mitigates XSS and data injection
- HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) - Prevents protocol downgrade attacks
- X-Frame-Options: DENY - Eliminates clickjacking vectors
- X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff - Prevents MIME type confusion
- Referrer-Policy: strict-origin - Controls information leakage
- Permissions-Policy - Restricts API access (camera, mic, geolocation)
- Zero source maps in production
- Cryptographic filename hashing (SHA-256)
- Aggressive code minification
- Console statement removal
- React property stripping
- Comment elimination
- Automated vulnerability scanning via GitHub Actions
- Snyk integration for real-time monitoring
- Dependabot alerts enabled
- Regular dependency updates
Do not disclose security vulnerabilities publicly through GitHub issues, discussions, or pull requests. This could put our users at risk.

We use CVSS 4.0 (Common Vulnerability Scoring System):
| Severity | CVSS Score | Response Time | Fix Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | 9.0-10.0 | 12 hours | 24 hours |
| HIGH | 7.0-8.9 | 24 hours | 3 days |
| MEDIUM | 4.0-6.9 | 48 hours | 7 days |
| LOW | 0.1-3.9 | 72 hours | 14 days |
