We currently provide security updates for the following versions of the Library Management System:

We take the security of our library data seriously. If you find a security flaw, please do not report it through public GitHub issues. Instead, please follow this process:

1. Email: Reach out to the maintainer at [insert-your-email-or-contact].
2. Details: Include a detailed description of the vulnerability and steps to reproduce it.
3. Response: You will receive an acknowledgment within 48 hours.
4. Disclosure: We ask that you follow "Responsible Disclosure"—give us a reasonable amount of time to fix the issue before making it public.

The system uses Java Object Serialization to store data in library_store.dat.

• Risk: Serialized files can be tampered with outside the application.
• Mitigation: Ensure that the .dat file has restricted OS-level permissions so only the user running the application can read/write to it.

The system utilizes Scanner.nextLine() for all inputs.

• Current logic prevents Buffer Overflow risks common in lower-level languages like C++.
• Future updates aim to include Regex Validation for Member IDs and Book IDs to prevent specialized character injection.

This is a desktop-based application. It does not open any network ports, significantly reducing the attack surface against remote exploits.

• File Integrity: Do not attempt to manually edit the library_store.dat file in a hex editor, as this may lead to InvalidClassException or data corruption.
• Java Runtime: Always run this application using a stable, updated version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to benefit from the latest security patches.
