UVHTTP takes memory safety and security seriously. We use AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer in CI to verify every commit, and we encourage responsible disclosure.

To report a security vulnerability:

1. Do not open a public GitHub issue. Instead, email the maintainer directly or open a GitHub Security Advisory.

2. Include the following in your report:

   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Affected versions
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if any)

3. You should receive a response within 48 hours. If not, follow up via the same channel.

• Vulnerabilities are disclosed publicly only after a fix has been released and users have had reasonable time to update.
• Contributors who report valid vulnerabilities will be acknowledged in the release notes (unless they request anonymity).

UVHTTP is committed to memory safety. The project maintains a CI gate (make verify-memory-safety) that runs the full test suite under both AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer. Any regression is blocked before merge.
