Security Best Practices

When contributing to EUR-UN projects, please:

  • Never commit secrets (API keys, passwords, tokens) to the repository
  • Use environment variables or external secret managers for sensitive configuration
  • Keep dependencies updated — run dependabot or equivalent checks
  • Follow the principle of least privilege in all code
  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs

Scope

This security policy applies to all repositories under the EUR-UN GitHub organization.
