We currently support the latest stable version of Barcode Buddy. Security updates are provided on a best-effort basis for the most recent release.

If you discover a security vulnerability in Barcode Buddy, please do not open a public issue.

Instead, use GitHub’s "Report a vulnerability" feature on this repository. This ensures your report stays private and will be reviewed promptly by the maintainers.

To report a vulnerability:

1. Go to the Security tab of the Barcode Buddy repository.
2. Click on "Report a vulnerability".
3. Fill out the form with as much detail as possible.

We aim to acknowledge valid reports within 3 business days and address them as quickly as possible.

Once a vulnerability is reported, we will:

1. Acknowledge receipt within 72 hours.
2. Investigate and validate the issue.
3. Develop a fix or mitigation strategy.
4. Coordinate a release with credit to the reporter (unless anonymity is requested).
5. Publish a security advisory via GitHub once the fix is released.

This policy applies to the Barcode Buddy codebase and documentation in this repository. Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies should be reported to the appropriate maintainers.

Thank you for helping keep Barcode Buddy secure!
