We classify vulnerabilities according to the following criteria:
| Severity | Description |
|---|---|
| Critical | Immediate threat to core services; potential for significant data breach |
| High | Significant vulnerability with potential for limited data exposure |
| Medium | Vulnerability with moderate impact requiring user interaction |
| Low | Minor issues with minimal security impact |
We consider the following issues to be within the scope of our security policy:
- Remote code execution
- SQL injection
- Server-side request forgery (SSRF)

- Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
- Sensitive data exposure
- Business logic vulnerabilities with security implications
- Server configuration issues
- Insecure direct object references
- Security misconfigurations
- Broken access control
- Cryptographic failures
The following are typically not considered security vulnerabilities:

- Vulnerabilities in outdated or unsupported browsers or platforms
We support responsible disclosure and will not take legal action against security researchers who:
- Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, data destruction, or service interruption
- Do not exploit vulnerabilities beyond what is necessary to confirm the issue
- Report vulnerabilities directly to us and allow a reasonable time for remediation
- Do not access, modify, or exfiltrate data beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability
- Do not conduct denial of service testing or other testing that impairs access to or damages a system or data
We believe in acknowledging the valuable contributions of security researchers. With your permission, we will recognize your efforts in our security acknowledgments after the vulnerability has been resolved.
We regularly update our dependencies and conduct security audits. Information about security-related updates will be published in our release notes and, when appropriate, directly communicated to our users.
