Security Policy

Supported code

Security fixes target the current main release line. Historical research, calibration and development branches are not supported release channels unless explicitly documented otherwise.

Reporting vulnerabilities

Report suspected security issues privately to the repository owner. Do not publish credentials, access tokens, private infrastructure details, personal data, sensitive geospatial source material, proprietary datasets, production database contents or exploit-sensitive evidence in a public issue.

Include the affected commit/component, minimal reproduction conditions using synthetic or public data where possible, expected and observed behaviour, impact, and whether the issue affects authentication, authorization, uploads, archive handling, file paths, report/export generation, AI/model loading, container/deployment boundaries or secret handling.

Repository and data hygiene

Local Codex inputs, calibration databases, contact sheets, runtime data, generated reports and cross-project scratch are not release source and must stay outside version control. The repository ignore rules and release gates are part of this boundary.

Never commit live .env files, production backups, credentials, operator data or private datasets. Public examples and tests should use synthetic or explicitly redistributable material.

Disclosure

Coordinate remediation and disclosure with the repository owner before publishing details that would materially increase exploitation risk.
