| 16 | +## Reporting a Vulnerability |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in UltraLog, please report it responsibly. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### How to Report |
| 21 | + |

| 24 | +Instead, report vulnerabilities by: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +1. **Email:** Send details to the maintainer privately |
| 27 | +2. **GitHub Security Advisories:** Use [GitHub's private vulnerability reporting](https://github.com/SomethingNew71/UltraLog/security/advisories/new) |

| 56 | + |
| 57 | +--- |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## Security Model |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### Application Architecture |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +UltraLog is a **desktop application** that: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +- Runs entirely locally on your computer |
| 66 | +- Does not connect to any external servers |
| 67 | +- Does not transmit any data over the network |
| 68 | +- Does not require an internet connection |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +### Data Handling |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +| Data Type | Handling | |
| 73 | +|-----------|----------| |
| 74 | +| Log files | Read-only, processed locally | |
| 75 | +| User preferences | Stored in memory only (not persisted) | |
| 76 | +| Custom normalizations | Stored in memory only | |
| 77 | +| Exported files | Written to user-specified locations | |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +### File Operations |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +UltraLog only performs file operations that you explicitly request: |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +- **Reading:** Only files you select via file dialog or drag-and-drop |
| 84 | +- **Writing:** Only when you export to PNG/PDF at your chosen location |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### No Telemetry |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +UltraLog does not: |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +- Collect usage analytics |
| 91 | +- Send crash reports |
| 92 | +- Phone home for updates |
| 93 | +- Track user behavior |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +--- |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +## Security Considerations |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +### Input Validation |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +- **File parsing:** All parsers validate input data and handle malformed files gracefully |
| 102 | +- **Path handling:** File paths are validated before operations |
| 103 | +- **Memory safety:** Rust's memory safety guarantees prevent buffer overflows and related vulnerabilities |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### Dependencies |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +We regularly update dependencies to address known vulnerabilities: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +- Dependencies are pinned in `Cargo.lock` |
| 110 | +- Dependabot alerts are monitored |
| 111 | +- Security updates are prioritized |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Build Security |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +- CI/CD runs on GitHub Actions (trusted infrastructure) |
| 116 | +- No external build services with code access |
| 117 | +- Release binaries are built from tagged commits |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +--- |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +## Known Limitations |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +### Unsigned Binaries |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +Pre-built binaries are not code-signed: |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +- **Windows:** May trigger SmartScreen warnings |
| 128 | +- **macOS:** May require Gatekeeper bypass |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +This is a distribution convenience issue, not a security vulnerability. Users building from source can verify the code themselves. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +### No Auto-Update |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +UltraLog does not auto-update. Users must manually download new releases. This is intentional: |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +- Prevents update mechanism as attack vector |
| 137 | +- Gives users control over when to update |
| 138 | +- Simplifies security model |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +--- |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +## Best Practices for Users |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +### Downloading UltraLog |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +- Always download from official [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/SomethingNew71/UltraLog/releases) |
| 147 | +- Verify you're on the correct repository (SomethingNew71/UltraLog) |
| 148 | +- Consider building from source for maximum assurance |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +### File Safety |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +- Only open log files from trusted sources |
| 153 | +- Be cautious with log files from unknown origins |
| 154 | +- UltraLog cannot execute code from log files, but malformed files could cause crashes |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +### Staying Updated |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +- Watch the repository for release notifications |
| 159 | +- Update to new versions when available |
| 160 | +- Check release notes for security-related fixes |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +--- |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +## Security Updates |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +Security fixes will be: |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +1. Released as soon as possible after verification |
| 169 | +2. Documented in release notes (after public disclosure) |
| 170 | +3. Announced via GitHub releases |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +### Past Security Issues |
