We actively maintain and provide security updates for the following versions of the Quantum Engine. If you are using an unsupported version, we strongly recommend upgrading to a supported version to ensure you receive security updates.

If you discover a security vulnerability in the Quantum Engine, please report it responsibly. We are committed to working with the security community to verify and address any potential vulnerabilities.

1. Private Disclosure: To ensure the safety of our users, please report vulnerabilities privately by contacting us:
   • Email: shrinathagre@gmail.com
2. Provide Details:
   • A clear and detailed description of the vulnerability.
   • Steps to reproduce the issue, including code samples (if applicable).
   • The potential impact of the vulnerability.
   • Any suggested fixes or patches.
3. Response Time: We aim to acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours and provide a resolution timeline within 7 business days.

We strongly discourage public disclosure of vulnerabilities until a fix has been developed and deployed. This ensures the safety of our users and prevents exploitation of the vulnerability.

We regularly review and update the Quantum Engine to address security concerns. All security updates are documented in the CHANGELOG.md(coming soon) and communicated via the Releases(coming soon) page.

To ensure the security of your Quantum Engine deployment:

• Update Regularly: Keep your installation up-to-date with the latest security patches.
• Secure Configuration: Follow our Configuration Guide(coming soon)to minimize exposure.
• Access Control: Restrict access to sensitive files and directories.
• Dependency Management: Regularly audit dependencies for known vulnerabilities using tools like Dependabot.

Quantum Engine includes several built-in security features to help protect your deployments:

• Input Validation: Prevents injection attacks and ensures data integrity.
• Authentication and Authorization: Supports robust user authentication mechanisms.
• Encryption: Utilizes industry-standard cryptographic algorithms to protect sensitive data in transit and at rest.
• Logging and Monitoring: Provides detailed logs for activity tracking and auditing.

While we strive for comprehensive security, the following limitations exist:

• Third-party Dependencies: Ensure all dependencies are updated to their latest secure versions.
• Custom Modifications: Customizing the core system may introduce vulnerabilities. Proceed with caution and audit changes rigorously.

We recommend exploring the following resources to enhance your understanding of secure practices:

• OWASP Top Ten
• CWE/SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework
