## 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+
22+
**Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
23+
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)
28+
29+
### What to Include
30+
31+
When reporting a vulnerability, please include:
32+
33+
- **Description** of the vulnerability
34+
- **Steps to reproduce** the issue
35+
- **Potential impact** of the vulnerability
36+
- **Suggested fix** (if you have one)
37+
- **Your contact information** for follow-up questions
38+
39+
### Response Timeline
40+
41+
| Action | Timeframe |
42+
|--------|-----------|
43+
| Initial acknowledgment | Within 48 hours |
44+
| Status update | Within 7 days |
45+
| Fix timeline estimate | Within 14 days |
46+
| Public disclosure | After fix is released |
47+
48+
### What to Expect
49+
50+
1. **Acknowledgment:** We'll confirm receipt of your report
51+
2. **Investigation:** We'll investigate and assess the vulnerability
52+
3. **Updates:** We'll keep you informed of our progress
53+
4. **Fix:** We'll develop and test a fix
54+
5. **Release:** We'll release the fix and credit you (if desired)
55+
6. **Disclosure:** We'll coordinate public disclosure timing with you
56+

## 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+

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+

167+
168+

169+
2. Documented in release notes (after public disclosure)
170+
3. Announced via GitHub releases
171+
172+
