We provide security updates for the following versions:

SafeSteamTools is built with security as a primary concern:

• No credential collection - Never requests Steam passwords or API keys from users
• Read-only access - Only views public Steam data through official APIs
• Rate limiting - Prevents API abuse and respects Steam's usage limits
• Input validation - All user inputs are sanitized and validated
• Container sandboxing - Docker containers run with minimal privileges
• Dependency scanning - Automated vulnerability checking for all dependencies

Every release undergoes comprehensive security scanning:

• Malware scanning with ClamAV and VirusTotal
• Dependency vulnerability scanning with npm audit and Snyk
• Static code analysis with ESLint and Semgrep
• Container security scanning with Trivy
• GPG signed releases with SHA256 checksums

🚨 Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them responsibly:
