Security Policy

Thank you for helping keep SimBu and its users safe. This project is research/analysis software and does not run a hosted service, but we still take supply-chain and data-handling security seriously.

🔁 Supported Versions

Only the latest version is fully supported

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please include, when possible:

  • A clear description of the issue and why it’s a security risk.
  • A minimal reproducible example or PoC.
  • Affected versions/commits and your environment (OS, R version, package versions).
  • Any suggested mitigations or patches.

We aim to release fixes within 5 days when feasible.

🧭 Scope

In scope: • Source code in this repository (R code, scripts, package metadata). • Provided example data and configuration files. • Build/CI configuration that impacts consumers of the package.

Out of scope: • Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies not patched upstream. • Issues only reproducible with non-default, unsafe flags or modified code. • Non-security bugs (please use Issues for those).

If you’re unsure whether something is in scope, report it privately and we’ll triage.

🔁 Supported versions

We generally support the most recent release and the previous minor version.

🧩 Dependencies & supply chain

•	Dependency updates are tracked via GitHub’s Dependabot and advisories.
•	We prefer upstream fixes for third-party packages; where necessary we may apply temporary pins/workarounds.
•	Release artifacts are built from tagged commits; avoid installing from untrusted forks.

If you identify a vulnerable dependency path (e.g., via renv::snapshot() or pak), please include the lockfile/sessionInfo() and the CVE/CVSS reference.

🧪 Reproducible security reports

When reporting, please attach a minimal script or R Markdown showing:

# Example scaffold
sessionInfo()
# install.packages("SimBu") or devtools::install_github("stef1949/SimBu")
library(SimBu)
# minimal code that triggers the issue
