This template includes security best practices for Astro projects. Important: You should customize this security policy for your specific project needs.

Before deploying your project:

1. Update this file - Replace template-specific content with your project details
2. Set up vulnerability reporting - Add your contact method for security issues
3. Review all security settings - Ensure they match your project requirements

If you find security issues in this template itself, please:

• Create an issue in the template repository
• For sensitive issues, contact the template maintainer privately

This template includes several security features and follows best practices:

• TypeScript: Type safety prevents many runtime errors
• ESLint: Catches potential security issues
• Dependency scanning: Regular updates and vulnerability checks
• Environment variables: Secure configuration management
• Content Security Policy: (Configure in production)

When using this template:

1. Environment Variables

   # Never commit secrets to version control
   # Use .env files (already in .gitignore)
   API_KEY=your-secret-key
   DATABASE_URL=your-database-url

2. Dependencies

   # Regularly audit dependencies
   npm audit
   npm audit fix
   
   # Keep dependencies updated
   npm update

3. Content Security Policy

   <!-- Add to your <head> for production -->
   <meta
     http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"
     content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';"
   />

4. HTTPS

   • Always use HTTPS in production
   • Update PUBLIC_SITE_URL in .env to use https://

Before deploying:

• All secrets moved to environment variables
• Dependencies audited and updated
• HTTPS enabled
• Content Security Policy configured
• Error messages don't expose sensitive information
• File uploads (if any) properly validated
• Database queries (if any) use parameterized statements

For your project: Update this section with your own version support policy.

• Development: Some features prioritize developer experience
• Production: Additional security measures should be implemented

When adding integrations:

• Review permissions and access
• Use official packages when possible
• Keep integrations updated
• Remove unused integrations

• OWASP Top 10
• Node.js Security Best Practices
• Astro Security Guide

Security is a shared responsibility. Thank you for helping keep this template and its users safe! 🛡️
