# Security Policy
2+
3+
## Reporting a Vulnerability
4+
5+
If you discover a security vulnerability in PostForge, please report it
6+
privately using [GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting](https://github.com/AndyCappDev/postforge/security/advisories/new)
7+
rather than opening a public issue.
8+
9+
I will acknowledge reports within 48 hours and aim to provide a fix or
10+
mitigation plan within 7 days.
11+
12+
## What Counts as a Security Issue
13+
14+
PostForge interprets PostScript files, which are programs. The PostScript
15+
language includes file I/O and system operators that are intentionally
16+
implemented. However, the following would be considered security issues:
17+
18+
- **Sandbox escapes** — Executing host system commands or accessing resources
19+
outside the interpreter's intended scope
20+
- **Path traversal** — Accessing files outside expected directories through
21+
crafted file paths
22+
- **Memory safety** — Crashes or memory corruption that could be exploited
23+
through crafted PostScript input
24+
- **Denial of service** — Inputs that cause unbounded resource consumption
25+
beyond what the PostScript program requests (e.g., an interpreter bug that
26+
causes infinite loops or memory leaks independent of the PS program logic)
27+
28+
## What Is Not a Security Issue
29+
30+
- PostScript programs that consume large amounts of memory or CPU by design
31+
(e.g., deeply recursive procedures) — this is normal PostScript behavior
32+
- The `file`, `deletefile`, `renamefile`, or `run` operators working as
33+
specified in the PostScript Language Reference Manual
34+
35+
## Supported Versions
36+
37+
Security fixes are applied to the latest release on the `master` branch.
