Your safety matters. Pytalon is a learning tool — a friendly place to explore Python without worry.
We take security seriously so you can focus on coding with confidence.
This project is actively maintained for the latest stable release. Security updates are only guaranteed for the most recent version.
| Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| Latest release | ✅ |
| Older versions | ❌ |
If you are using an older version, please upgrade to the latest version before reporting security issues.
(Keeping Pytalon up to date keeps you safe — and gives you the best learning experience!)
If you discover a security vulnerability in Pytalon, thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.
Please do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.
Instead, report it privately by:
- Opening a GitHub Security Advisory (preferred), or
- Emailing the project maintainer (check the GitHub profile for contact)
Include as much detail as possible:
- Description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce the issue
- Possible impact
- Suggested fix (if you have one)
No issue is too small. Your report is a gift to the community.
You can expect:
- Acknowledgment within 3–5 days (we'll let you know we're on it)
- A follow-up after the issue is reviewed
- Updates if a fix is being developed
If the report is accepted, a fix will be prepared and released as soon as reasonably possible.
We'll credit you in the release notes — because you made it better.
Please allow time for the vulnerability to be fixed before publicly disclosing it.
Responsible disclosure helps protect all learners and users of Pytalon.
Thank you for your patience and integrity.
Examples include:
- Code execution vulnerabilities
- Injection flaws
- Malicious input handling weaknesses
- Anything that could compromise a user's system or data when running the program
Pytalon is a local console-based learning tool, so most risks would relate to unsafe input handling or malicious file execution.
Even if you're not sure — report it. We'd rather check and find nothing than miss something important.
You're helping make Pytalon not just a great learning assistant, but a safe one.
That matters. You matter.
Happy (and safe) coding! 🐍✨
