The following table lists the versions of the SEOAnalyzer software that are currently supported with security updates:

Only the latest major version (1.x.x) is actively maintained and receives security updates. Older versions are no longer supported and should be upgraded to ensure continued security.

We take security issues seriously and are committed to promptly addressing any potential vulnerabilities in the SEOAnalyzer project.

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it by following these steps:

1. Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability. We request that vulnerabilities are reported privately to avoid exposing the issue to potential attackers before it can be addressed.

2. Contact the security team. Send an email to [[email protected]] with the following details:

   • A detailed description of the vulnerability.
   • Steps to reproduce the issue, if possible.
   • Any proof-of-concept (PoC) code or logs that illustrate the vulnerability.
   • The version of SEOAnalyzer affected by the issue.

3. Expect a response within 48 hours. We will acknowledge your report within 48 hours and begin investigating the issue. During this time, we may reach out to you for additional information.

4. Cooperate with disclosure. We will work with you to confirm and fix the issue, after which we will issue a security patch. We may also credit you for identifying the vulnerability in any relevant documentation, but only with your consent.

We implement the following security measures within the SEOAnalyzer project:

1. Secure Coding Practices: We follow best practices for secure coding, including input validation, proper error handling, and secure dependency management.

2. Regular Security Audits: The codebase is regularly audited to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

3. Dependency Management: We rely on trusted third-party libraries and ensure that all dependencies are up-to-date with the latest security patches.

4. HTTPS Enforcement: The SEOAnalyzer class includes checks for HTTPS usage to ensure secure communication for websites being analyzed.

5. User Data Protection: Although SEOAnalyzer does not handle sensitive user data directly, we encourage its use in secure environments where personal data is adequately protected.

6. Minimal Permissions: SEOAnalyzer is designed to operate with minimal privileges, reducing the risk of exploitation in the case of an attack.

Once a vulnerability is reported, we aim to follow this timeline for disclosure:

1. Report received – We acknowledge the report within 48 hours.
2. Initial investigation – Within 7 days of acknowledgment, we will assess the severity and impact of the issue.
3. Patch development – A patch will be developed and tested within 14 days of the initial assessment.
4. Public disclosure – Once the patch is ready and released, we will disclose the vulnerability and give credit where appropriate, ensuring the details of the fix are transparent.

While SEOAnalyzer itself does not handle sensitive data, we recommend that users adhere to the following best practices:

1. Run the analyzer in a secure environment. Avoid running SEOAnalyzer on sensitive production servers or in environments with untrusted input.

2. Regularly update to the latest version. Ensure that you are using the latest version of SEOAnalyzer to benefit from the most recent security patches.

3. Secure network communication. Use HTTPS whenever analyzing websites to avoid exposing sensitive data in transit.

4. Review dependencies and third-party libraries. Keep all dependencies up-to-date to avoid known vulnerabilities in the software used by SEOAnalyzer.

We appreciate the contributions of the security community in making SEOAnalyzer a safe and reliable tool. If you wish to remain anonymous when reporting vulnerabilities, please let us know when submitting your report.
