+# Security Policy
+
+Dear ImGui is primarily designed for developer tools and technical applications running trusted code and trusted data. 
+
+Given that the library was not designed as a hardened security boundary against hostile or intentionally malformed inputs: 
+consider not using it in a context where a crash (through e.g. intentionally malformed inputs) could lead to privilege elevation. 
+E.g. running in a privileged process and interacting with non-privileged clients feeding code or data to Dear ImGui.
+
+Dear ImGui development efforts are focused on improving developer experience, usability, correctness, and robustness in real-world applications. 
+We will do our best to reduce e.g. crashes caused by common programmer mistakes.
+
+However, the project does not specifically focus on adversarial fuzzing scenarios, allocation-failure hardening, or highly artificial edge cases that are unlikely to occur in normal usage.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+Considering the above policy, most things may be reported in GitHub Issues.
+If you have a reason to disclose privately, please reach out to the contact address listed in README.
