+# Security Policy
+
+## Supported versions
+
+Security fixes go into the latest release only. Older versions don't get backported patches. Please update to the latest version before reporting.
+
+| Version | Supported |
+| ------- | --------- |
+| Latest 2.x release (built from `main`) | Yes |
+| Older 2.x releases | No, please update |
+| 1.x | No |
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+**Please don't open public issues, pull requests or discussions for security problems.**
+
+Report privately through GitHub:
+
+1. Go to the [Security tab](https://github.com/aleksey-hoffman/sigma-file-manager/security) of this repository.
+2. Click **Report a vulnerability**.
+3. Fill in the form.
+
+Please include:
+
+- the affected version or commit and your OS
+- what an attacker can do, and what they need first (for example "a user installs a malicious extension")
+- steps to reproduce or a proof of concept
+- a suggested fix, if you have one (you can attach a patch to the private advisory)
+
+## What to expect
+
+This is a project maintained by one person, so these are goals, not guarantees:
+
+- acknowledgement within **7 days**
+- an initial assessment within **14 days**
+- a fix in a release as soon as practical, usually within **90 days** for confirmed issues
+
+I'll keep you updated in the advisory, credit you in the release notes and the advisory (unless you'd rather stay anonymous), and request a CVE through GitHub when it's warranted. Please give me a chance to ship a fix before you disclose publicly. If 90 days pass without progress, let's agree on a disclosure date in the advisory.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- the Sigma File Manager desktop app (Tauri/Rust backend and Vue frontend) in this repository
+- the extension platform: the extension runtime and sandbox, permission checks, the extension APIs (`@sigma-file-manager/api` in `packages/api`), extension install/update/download, and binary downloads
+- the app updater and release artifacts published from this repository
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- third-party extensions themselves. Report those to the extension's author. If an extension shows that the platform's own isolation or permission checks can be bypassed, that is in scope here.
+- marketplace listing content in [sigma-hub/sfm-marketplace](https://github.com/sigma-hub/sfm-marketplace). Use that repository's own channels.
+- problems that require an attacker who already has full control of the user's account or machine
+- vulnerabilities in dependencies with no demonstrated impact on Sigma File Manager (please report those upstream)
+- missing hardening with no concrete attack (for example "no CSP header on a local page" without an exploit)
+
+## Automated and AI-assisted reports
+
+AI-assisted reports are welcome if a person has verified them. Please confirm the issue reproduces on the latest release and include a working reproduction. Unverified bulk reports may be closed without detailed review.
