Security Policy

Supported Versions

This project follows a simple support model appropriate for a starter kit:

  • main: actively maintained
  • Tagged releases v*: best effort

If you find a vulnerability on main, please report it (see below). For older tags, consider updating to main first.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security reports.

Instead, email: cnciso@proton.me with:

  • A description of the issue and impact
  • Steps to reproduce or proof of concept
  • Any relevant logs, configs, or screenshots

We aim to acknowledge reports within 72 hours and provide a remediation plan or timeline as soon as reasonably possible.

If you prefer GitHub, you may open a private security advisory via: Security → Advisories → Report a vulnerability (in this repository).

Disclosure Process

  • We will verify the issue and prepare a fix.
  • We will coordinate a disclosure date that allows users to update.
  • We will credit reporters if desired.

Hardening Scope (What this repo covers)

This starter provides:

  • Pre-commit secret scanning (Gitleaks)
  • CI vulnerability + IaC scanning (Trivy)
  • SBOM artifact (SPDX JSON)

It does not replace full threat modeling, runtime controls, or a team of trained security professionals. For production workloads, pair this with:

  • Image signing & provenance (Sigstore/SLSA)
  • Admission controls / policy-as-code (e.g., Kyverno)
  • Runtime hardening (e.g., seccomp, apparmor, eBPF)

There aren’t any published security advisories
