✅ Project-specific security measures (document here)

• We monitor security advisories for Samba and Debian
• Docker image updates are released for critical security patches
• Subscribe to releases to be notified of security updates

We practice responsible disclosure:

1. We will not publicly disclose vulnerabilities until a patch is available
2. We will credit the researcher (unless requested otherwise)
3. We work collaboratively to understand and resolve issues

• Keep dependencies updated
• Regularly review configuration and permissions
• Monitor logs
• Test configuration changes in non-production environments first
• Use strong, unique passwords
• Implement network-level access controls

For security updates and advisories:

• Watch this repository for releases
