TimeClock Pro stores employee and payroll-related information. Security and privacy reports are taken seriously.

Security fixes are applied to the latest release and the current main branch. Older versions may no longer receive patches.

Do not open a public issue containing credentials, employee information, screenshots of production data, exploit instructions, or vulnerability details.

Use the repository's Security tab to submit a private vulnerability report. Include the affected version, reproduction steps, potential impact, and any suggested mitigation. Please allow a reasonable period for investigation before public disclosure.
