## Reporting a Vulnerability
**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
Instead, please report them via email to:
**jonathan.jewell@open.ac.uk**
You should receive a response within 48 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up via email to ensure we received your original message.
Please include the following information:
- Type of issue (e.g. buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
- Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
- The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
- Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
- Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
- Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
- Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it
This information will help us triage your report more quickly.
## Preferred Languages
We prefer all communications to be in English.
## Policy
We follow the principle of [Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure](https://vuls.cert.org/confluence/display/CVD/Executive+Summary).
## Security Measures
panic-attacker implements several security measures:
1. **No unsafe code** in the core library (only in specific performance-critical sections with documented justification)
2. **Dependency auditing** via cargo-audit in CI
3. **OpenSSF Scorecard** for supply chain security
4. **CodeQL analysis** for vulnerability detection
5. **Secret scanning** with TruffleHog
6. **SBOM generation** for dependency transparency
## Self-Testing
panic-attacker is tested against itself ("eating our own dogfood") to verify its own robustness and identify potential security issues in its implementation.
## Security Advisories
Security advisories will be published via:
- GitHub Security Advisories
- The CHANGELOG.md file
- Release notes for security-related releases
## Attribution
We appreciate responsible disclosure and will acknowledge security researchers in our release notes and CHANGELOG (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
