SteveGilvarry 115cb270d4 docs: update security policy supported versions and reporting channels
The supported-versions table listed 1.36.x and 1.37.x; 1.37 was the
development line that became 1.38 stable and no longer exists. Update to
reflect the current series: 1.39.x development, 1.38.x stable, and 1.36.x
as a legacy branch that still receives security backports on a best-effort
basis.

Rewrite the reporting section to direct vulnerabilities to GitHub Private
Vulnerability Reporting (now enabled on the repository) as the preferred
channel, with email as a fallback, and to stop inviting public issues for
suspected vulnerabilities while still welcoming non-sensitive hardening
suggestions as issues or pull requests.

Security Policy

Supported Versions

We do not have the resources to support every old version. ZoneMinder uses Semantic Versioning: even minor versions are stable, odd are development. We support the current stable release series and the current development series; the previous stable series receives security fixes on a best-effort basis.

Version Supported
1.39.x (dev)
1.38.x (stable)
1.36.x (legacy) ⚠️ best-effort security fixes
< 1.36.x

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please report security vulnerabilities privately so we can fix them before they are disclosed publicly. Two options:

  1. GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting (preferred) — go to the Security tab and click Report a vulnerability. This opens a private advisory where we can collaborate on a fix and issue a CVE.
  2. Emailisaac@zoneminder.com.

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for a suspected vulnerability. Non-sensitive hardening suggestions (defense-in-depth with no exploit path) are fine as normal issues or pull requests.

We aim to acknowledge reports within a few days and to coordinate disclosure once a fix is available.
