RDBS is pre-1.0 and ships from a single tracked package (rdbs). Security fixes land on the latest release; there are no long-term support branches yet.

Please upgrade to the latest release before reporting an issue where possible.

Do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, discussions, or pull requests.

Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:

1. Go to the Security tab.
2. Click Report a vulnerability and fill out the advisory form.

If you cannot use private reporting, contact the maintainers (@suiflex) and ask for a private channel before sharing any details.

Please include, where you can:

• The affected component (app, core, connstore, or a specific driver-* crate) and version.
• A description of the vulnerability and its impact.
• Steps to reproduce, a proof of concept, or the relevant configuration.
• Any suggested remediation.

• Acknowledgement within 5 business days.
• An initial assessment and severity triage shortly after.
• Progress updates as we work on a fix, and coordination on a disclosure timeline. We aim to release a fix before any public disclosure.
• Credit for the reporter in the advisory, unless you prefer to remain anonymous.

RDBS stores connection secrets in the OS keychain, falling back to AES-GCM encryption. Reports touching credential handling, secret storage, or the database driver connection paths are especially valued.

Thank you for helping keep RDBS and its users safe.
