• Infrastructure as Code using AWS SAM
• IAM roles with least-privilege access
• Encrypted storage (S3, DynamoDB)
• CORS configuration for API security
• Parameter-based deployment for sensitive values

• User content stored securely in AWS S3
• No PII in logs or configuration files
• Comprehensive .gitignore for sensitive files
• Template files use generic examples

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly:

1. Do NOT create a public GitHub issue
2. Email security concerns to the maintainers
3. Provide detailed information about the vulnerability
4. Allow reasonable time for investigation and fix
