Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, report privately via GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:

  1. Go to the repository's Security tab
  2. Click Report a vulnerability
  3. Provide a clear description, reproduction steps, affected versions, and potential impact

We aim to acknowledge reports within 72 hours and provide an initial assessment within 7 days.

Scope

This project is a boilerplate / starter. Security concerns in this repository are primarily:

  • Defaults that mislead users into insecure configurations
  • Authentication and session-management patterns
  • Rate-limiting, CSP, and security-header defaults
  • Dependency-chain vulnerabilities in declared dependencies
  • Example code that leaks secrets or encourages unsafe patterns

Out of scope

  • Vulnerabilities in applications built on top of this starter after the user modifies it
  • Vulnerabilities in third-party services (Neon, Vercel, Netlify, Resend — report directly to those vendors)
  • Social-engineering attacks

What to expect

If your report is valid:

  1. We confirm the issue and assess severity (CVSS-aligned)
  2. We work on a fix in a private branch
  3. We coordinate disclosure timing with you
  4. We publish a security advisory and credit you (unless you prefer anonymity)

Supported versions

Only the latest main branch is supported. Forks of this template are the user's responsibility.

There aren’t any published security advisories
