This document outlines the security practices and guidelines for reporting vulnerabilities in the Path4DSA Roadmaps project.
Please read this carefully before submitting any security-related issues.
This repository currently contains Markdown documentation only.
There is no executable code or runtime software.
Security reports primarily focus on:
- Malicious links
- Unsafe external resources
- Harmful or misleading content
- Spam, phishing, or advertisements
- Abuse of the contribution system
- Attempts to upload harmful files
- Attempts to bypass project rules or branch protection
If you discover a security vulnerability or find content that may be harmful, please report it privately.
Do not create a GitHub Issue for security concerns.
Instead, email the maintainers directly at:
path4dsa@gmail.com
Include:
- A clear description of the issue
- The file(s) involved
- Steps to reproduce (if applicable)
- Reason why it is a potential security concern
You will receive a response within 48–72 hours.
The following should NOT be reported as security issues:
- Typographical errors
- Broken links
- Missing roadmap topics
- Formatting issues
- Incorrect data inside roadmaps
- Requests for new roadmaps
- Contribution questions
These should be submitted as regular GitHub Issues or Pull Requests instead.
Please follow responsible disclosure practices:
- Do not publicly share vulnerabilities
- Do not post information in GitHub Issues
- Do not attempt to exploit or test vulnerabilities on other contributors
- Do not upload executable scripts or harmful files
- Do not bypass branch protection rules
All valid reports will be acknowledged privately and resolved promptly.
To ensure the security and cleanliness of contributions:
- Only Markdown files are allowed
- Contributors must follow the roadmap template
- All links must be from trusted and safe sources
- Harmful, malicious, or unrelated content will be removed
- Persistent harmful attempts may result in being blocked from contributing
Maintainers reserve the right to decline contributions that violate safety or quality guidelines.
Thank you for helping keep the Path4DSA Roadmaps project safe and reliable for all learners and contributors.
