The DTF Determinism Analyzer team takes security seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose any security vulnerabilities you may find.

To report a security vulnerability, please use one of the following methods:

1. Navigate to the Security tab of this repository
2. Click on "Advisories" in the left sidebar
3. Click "Report a vulnerability" to create a private security advisory
4. Fill out the form with details about the vulnerability

Note: If you don't see the "Report a vulnerability" option, this feature may not yet be enabled for this repository.

If GitHub Security Advisories are not available, please email the maintainer directly with:

• Subject: "SECURITY: [Brief Description]"
• Detailed description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce (if applicable)
• Potential impact assessment

We will respond within 48 hours to coordinate the disclosure privately.

For security-related issues that are not sensitive (e.g., general security questions, documentation improvements):

• Open a GitHub issue with the title "SECURITY: [Brief Description]"
• Do not include sensitive details in public issues

We provide security updates for the following versions:

Security updates will be provided for:

• The latest major version (1.x.x)
• The latest patch release within a major version

For the DTF Determinism Analyzer, security vulnerabilities may include but are not limited to:

• Code injection vulnerabilities - Malicious code execution through analyzer input
• Path traversal vulnerabilities - Unauthorized file system access during analysis
• Information disclosure - Sensitive information leaked through analyzer output or logs
• Denial of service - Analyzer causing excessive resource consumption or crashes

• False negatives - Analyzer failing to detect actual determinism violations that could lead to runtime failures
• Dependency vulnerabilities - Security issues in third-party packages used by the analyzer

• False positives - Analyzer incorrectly flagging safe code (primarily a reliability issue)

We are committed to responding to security reports in a timely manner:

• Initial acknowledgment: Within 48 hours of report submission
• Initial assessment: Within 5 business days
• Status updates: Every 7 days until resolution
• Security fix release: Based on severity
  • Critical: Within 7 days
  • High: Within 14 days
  • Medium: Within 30 days
  • Low: Next regular release cycle

When a security vulnerability is confirmed:

1. We will work with the reporter to understand and reproduce the issue
2. A fix will be developed and tested
3. A security advisory will be published
4. A patched version will be released
5. Users will be notified through:
   • GitHub Security Advisories
   • Release notes
   • NuGet package updates

If you do not receive an acknowledgment of your report within 48 hours, or if you are not satisfied with our response within 7 business days, you may:

1. Contact GitHub Support directly
2. Reach out through the project's public GitHub issues (for non-sensitive matters)

To use the DTF Determinism Analyzer securely:

• Always use the latest version of the analyzer
• Run the analyzer in isolated build environments
• Review analyzer output for any unexpected warnings or errors
• Keep your .NET SDK and build tools updated

• Install the analyzer through official NuGet packages only
• Verify package signatures when possible
• Report any suspicious analyzer behavior immediately

Currently, we do not offer a formal bug bounty program. However, we greatly appreciate security research and will:

• Acknowledge security researchers in our security advisories (with permission)
• Provide attribution in release notes for significant security improvements
• Consider feature requests that enhance security posture

• .NET Security Guidelines
• NuGet Package Security
• GitHub Security Best Practices

Thank you for helping keep the DTF Determinism Analyzer and its users safe!
