Security Policy

We take security issues seriously and appreciate responsible disclosure.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue or pull request for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, report the issue privately to the maintainers:

  1. Contact the project administrator,

  2. Contact the BuffaloHerd team, or

  3. If you get no response from the contact methods above, open an issue with no sensitive details asking how to report a security concern.

When reporting, include:

  • A description of the vulnerability and potential impact

  • Steps to reproduce (if safe)

  • Affected versions/commits

  • Any suggested mitigation or fix

Disclosure Process

After we receive a report, maintainers will:

  • Acknowledge receipt

  • Assess severity and scope

  • Work on a fix and coordinate a release (when applicable)

  • Provide credit in release notes if requested (optional)

Supported Versions

Security fixes are applied to the default development branch and may be backported to stable release branches when they exist.
