# Security policy
Thanks for taking the time to look at this. Even small tools can introduce real
risk — this one reconfigures network adapters from an elevated process — so
vulnerability reports are very welcome.
## Supported versions
Only the latest tagged release on GitHub is supported. Older versions will not
get fixes; please upgrade first.
## How to report a vulnerability
**Please do not open a public issue** for security-sensitive findings. Use one
of these private channels instead:
1. **Preferred:** GitHub's private security advisories.
Go to the [Security tab](../../security/advisories/new) of this repo and
click "Report a vulnerability". GitHub will route it to me privately.
2. **Email:** `engelgardt2024@gmail.com` with the subject prefix `[security]`.
Please include:
- The version of `netswitch` you tested (output of the startup banner is enough).
- Steps to reproduce.
- An assessment of impact.
## What to expect
- Acknowledgement within **3 business days**.
- A first technical reply within **7 business days**.
- A fix and a public advisory once the issue is resolved. Reporters are
credited unless they prefer to stay anonymous.
## Out of scope
- Behavior when run **without** administrator privileges (the tool refuses to
start in that case anyway).
- Issues that require the attacker to already control the user's machine.
