• Reproduction: Steps to reproduce (if safe)
• Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for a fix
• Your Details: How you'd like to be credited (optional)

• Initial Response: Within 24 hours
• Vulnerability Assessment: Within 72 hours
• Fix Development: Depends on severity (1-30 days)
• Public Disclosure: After fix is released (coordinated disclosure)

• Remote code execution
• Cryptographic key exposure
• TEE bypass vulnerabilities
• Authentication bypass

• Local privilege escalation
• Cryptographic weaknesses
• Data exfiltration
• Memory corruption

We currently do not have a formal bug bounty program, but we appreciate security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities. We will:

• Acknowledge your contribution
• Provide credit in release notes (if desired)
• Work with you on responsible disclosure
• Consider compensation for critical findings

Vulnerability research conducted in good faith and in compliance with this policy is authorized. We will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

• Act in good faith
• Follow responsible disclosure
• Do not access data beyond what's necessary
• Do not harm our systems or users
• Comply with applicable laws
