## Security Best Practices
When using WinRT-XAML:
### Input Validation
- Always validate user input
- Sanitize data before displaying
- Use type-safe APIs
### Resource Management
- Be aware of resource limits
- Implement timeouts for long operations
- Clean up resources properly
### Dependencies
- Keep dependencies up to date
- Review dependency security advisories
- Use `cargo audit` regularly
### Error Handling
- Don't expose sensitive information in error messages
- Log security events appropriately
- Handle errors gracefully
## Known Security Considerations
### Windows Platform Security
This library interacts with Windows APIs:
- Requires appropriate permissions
- Subject to Windows security policies
- May require elevation for certain operations
### XAML Parsing
When parsing XAML:
- Validate XAML sources
- Be cautious with dynamic XAML
- Limit resource consumption
