Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in this project, please do not open a public GitHub issue. Public disclosure of security issues before they're fixed puts all users at risk.

Instead, please report it responsibly:

  1. Open a private security advisory via GitHub: Go to the repository → Security tab → Report a vulnerability

  2. Include as much detail as possible:

    • A description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce it
    • The potential impact
    • Any suggested fixes (optional, but appreciated)

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgement within 48 hours of your report
  • Status update within 7 days (confirmed, dismissed, or in progress)
  • Credit in the fix's release notes if you'd like it, once the issue is resolved

Scope

This is a frontend-only React application with no backend, no database, and no user authentication. Most security concerns will relate to:

  • Dependency vulnerabilities (check with npm audit)
  • XSS risks in dynamic rendering
  • Third-party package integrity

Keeping Dependencies Secure

We recommend contributors and users regularly run:

npm audit
npm audit fix

If you spot an outdated or vulnerable dependency, feel free to open a PR updating it.
