+# Security Policy
+
+## Supported versions
+
+Only the latest released version of SLASHED receives security fixes. Update
+before reporting.
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+Report privately — **do not open a public issue or PR.** Use
+[GitHub Security Advisories](https://github.com/codeslash-dev/SLASHED/security/advisories/new).
+
+Please include:
+
+- affected version (the `/*! SLASHED vX.Y.Z */` bundle header or release tag);
+- which artifact is affected (CSS bundle, `configurator/` app, or build tooling);
+- steps to reproduce or a proof of concept;
+- impact.
+
+Vulnerabilities in the WordPress integration belong in the
+[SLASHED-Plugins repo](https://github.com/codeslash-dev/SLASHED-Plugins/security/advisories/new).
+
+We aim to acknowledge a report within a few days, share a fix timeline once
+triaged, and credit reporters in the release notes unless you prefer otherwise.
