+# Security Policy
+
+## 🔒 Reporting Security Vulnerabilities
+
+We take the security of the MCP Rust Examples project seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly.
+
+### 📧 How to Report
+
+**For security issues, please do NOT create a public GitHub issue.**
+
+Instead, please report security vulnerabilities through one of these channels:
+
+1. **GitHub Security Advisories** (Preferred)
+   - Go to the [Security tab](../../security) of this repository
+   - Click "Report a vulnerability"
+   - Fill out the private security advisory form
+
+2. **Email**
+   - Send details to: **[email protected]**
+   - Include "MCP-SECURITY" in the subject line
+   - Provide detailed information about the vulnerability
+
+3. **Encrypted Communication**
+   - For highly sensitive issues, request our PGP key
+   - Contact: **[email protected]**
+
+### ⚡ Response Timeline
+
+We are committed to responding to security reports promptly:
+
+- **Initial Response**: Within 48 hours
+- **Confirmation**: Within 72 hours
+- **Status Updates**: Every 7 days until resolution
+- **Fix Development**: Depends on complexity and severity
+- **Public Disclosure**: After fix is released (coordinated disclosure)
+
+## 🛡️ Supported Versions
+
+We provide security updates for the following versions:
+
+| Version | Supported          | Status |
+| ------- | ------------------ | ------ |
+| 1.x.x   | ✅ Yes             | Active development |
+| 0.x.x   | ⚠️ Limited support | Critical fixes only |
+
+### 📋 What We Support
+
+**Educational Examples:**
+- Examples are maintained for educational purposes

+- Dependencies updated regularly for known vulnerabilities
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Regular security audits using `cargo audit`

+- Manual review of security advisories
+
+## 🎯 Security Scope
+
+### ✅ In Scope
+
+**Code Issues:**
+- Unsafe Rust usage patterns
+- Memory safety violations
+- Cryptographic implementation flaws
+- Authentication/authorization bypasses
+- Input validation failures
+- SQL injection possibilities
+- Path traversal vulnerabilities
+- Denial of service vectors
+
+**Dependency Issues:**
+- Known vulnerabilities in dependencies

+- Supply chain security concerns
+
+**Documentation Issues:**
+- Misleading security guidance
+- Dangerous code examples
+- Missing security warnings
+
+### ❌ Out of Scope
+
+**Educational Context:**
+- Intentionally simplified examples for learning
+- Missing production hardening in tutorials
+- Performance optimizations over security (when documented)
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+- GitHub Actions workflow security (report to GitHub)
+- Third-party service vulnerabilities
+- Network infrastructure issues
+
+## 🔍 Security Measures
+
+### Automated Security
+
+**Continuous Monitoring:**
+- **Dependabot**: Automated dependency updates
+- **GitHub Security Advisories**: Real-time vulnerability alerts
+- **Cargo Audit**: Weekly security scans
+- **CodeQL Analysis**: Static security analysis
+- **OSSF Scorecard**: Supply chain security metrics
+
+**CI/CD Security:**
+- Dependency review on pull requests
+- Security-focused Clippy lints
+- License compliance checks
+- Vulnerability scanning in workflows
+
+### Manual Security
+
+**Code Review Process:**
+- Security-focused code reviews
+- Threat modeling for complex examples
+- Regular security architecture reviews
+- External security consultations
+
+**Documentation Review:**
+- Security guidance verification
+- Best practices validation
+- Threat model documentation
+- Security training materials
+
+## 🚨 Known Security Considerations
+
+### Educational Context
+
+This project contains **educational examples** that prioritize learning over production security:
+
+⚠️ **Important Disclaimers:**
+
+1. **Simplified Authentication**: Examples use basic authentication for clarity
+2. **Error Handling**: Some examples use `.unwrap()` for brevity (not production-ready)
+3. **Input Validation**: Basic validation for demonstration purposes
+4. **Cryptography**: Examples use simple hashing (real applications should use bcrypt/Argon2)
+5. **Network Security**: Examples don't include full TLS configuration
+
+### Current Security Status
+
+**Dependency Vulnerabilities:**
+- **RUSTSEC-2023-0071**: RSA timing sidechannel in `rsa` crate
+  - **Impact**: Low (transitive dependency through sqlx-mysql)
+  - **Mitigation**: Educational examples don't perform sensitive RSA operations
+  - **Status**: Monitoring for upstream fix
+
+**Unmaintained Dependencies:**
+- **RUSTSEC-2024-0436**: `paste` crate no longer maintained
+  - **Impact**: Low (macro-only, build-time dependency)
+  - **Mitigation**: Evaluating alternatives
+  - **Status**: Non-critical for educational use
+
+## 🛠️ Security Best Practices
+
+### For Contributors
+
+**Code Security:**
+```rust
+// ✅ Good: Proper error handling
+match operation() {
+    Ok(result) => handle_success(result),
+    Err(error) => handle_error(error),
+}
+
+// ❌ Avoid in production: Panic on errors
+let result = operation().unwrap();
+```
+
+**Input Validation:**
+```rust
+// ✅ Good: Validate all inputs
+fn process_data(input: &str) -> Result<String, ValidationError> {
+    if input.is_empty() {
+        return Err(ValidationError::EmptyInput);
+    }
+    // Process validated input
+}
+```
+
+**Secure Defaults:**
+```rust
+// ✅ Good: Secure by default
+pub struct Config {
+    pub enable_debug: bool,        // Default: false
+    pub max_connections: usize,    // Default: reasonable limit
+    pub timeout_seconds: u64,      // Default: reasonable timeout
+}
+
+impl Default for Config {
+    fn default() -> Self {
+        Self {
+            enable_debug: false,        // Secure default
+            max_connections: 100,       // Reasonable limit
+            timeout_seconds: 30,        // Prevent hanging
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### For Users
+
+**Production Deployment:**
+1. **Review Examples**: Understand security limitations
+2. **Add Proper Authentication**: Implement robust auth systems
+3. **Input Validation**: Add comprehensive validation
+4. **Error Handling**: Replace `.unwrap()` with proper error handling
+5. **Monitoring**: Implement security monitoring and logging
+6. **Regular Updates**: Keep dependencies updated
+7. **Security Testing**: Perform security testing before production
