+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
+
+If you discover a security vulnerability in tududi, please report it privately to help us fix it before public disclosure.
+
+### How to Report
+
+1. **Email:** Send details to the repository owner via GitHub or open a [Security Advisory](https://github.com/chrisvel/tududi/security/advisories/new)
+
+2. **Include in your report:**
+   - Description of the vulnerability
+   - Steps to reproduce the issue
+   - Potential impact
+   - Suggested fix (if you have one)
+   - Your contact information
+
+### What to Expect
+
+- **Acknowledgment:** We'll acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours
+- **Updates:** We'll keep you informed about the progress of fixing the issue
+- **Timeline:** We aim to release a fix within 30 days for critical vulnerabilities
+- **Credit:** We'll credit you in the security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+When deploying tududi, we recommend:
+
+### Production Deployment
+
+- **Use strong passwords:** Set secure `TUDUDI_USER_PASSWORD` and `TUDUDI_SESSION_SECRET`
+- **HTTPS only:** Always use HTTPS in production (reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt)
+- **Keep updated:** Regularly update to the latest version
+- **Secure database:** Protect database files with proper permissions
+- **Environment variables:** Never commit `.env` files or secrets to version control
+- **Backup regularly:** Keep secure backups of your database
+
+### Docker Security
+
+```bash
+# Generate strong session secret
+TUDUDI_SESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 64)
+
+# Use secure volumes with proper permissions
+chmod 700 ~/tududi_db
+chmod 700 ~/tududi_uploads
+```
+
+### Self-Hosting Checklist
+
+- [ ] Strong, unique passwords for all accounts
+- [ ] HTTPS enabled with valid certificate
+- [ ] Database files protected (not publicly accessible)
+- [ ] Regular security updates applied
+- [ ] Firewall configured to restrict access
+- [ ] Regular backups scheduled
+
+## Known Security Considerations
+
+### Authentication & Sessions
+
+- Sessions use `express-session` with secure settings
+- Passwords are hashed with bcrypt
+- Session secrets should be cryptographically random (64+ characters)
+
+### Data Storage
+
+- SQLite database stores all user data
+- Uploads are stored in the filesystem
+- Ensure proper file permissions on production servers
+
+### Telegram Integration
+
+- Bot tokens are sensitive credentials
+- Store `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` securely
+- Never expose tokens in logs or error messages
+
+## Security Updates
+
+Security updates are released as patch versions (e.g., 0.85.1 → 0.85.2). Critical vulnerabilities may warrant immediate releases.
