Per the terms of the Apache 2 license, NetBox is offered "as is" and without any guarantee or warranty pertaining to its operation. While every reasonable effort is made by its maintainers to ensure the product remains free of security vulnerabilities, users are ultimately responsible for conducting their own evaluations of each software release.

Administrators are encouraged to adhere to industry best practices concerning the secure operation of software, such as:

• Do not expose your NetBox installation to the public Internet
• Do not permit multiple users to share an account
• Enforce minimum password complexity requirements for local accounts
• Prohibit access to your database from clients other than the NetBox application
• Keep your deployment updated to the most recent stable release

If you believe you've uncovered a security vulnerability and wish to report it confidentially, you may do so by emailing security@netboxlabs.com. Please ensure that your report meets all the following conditions:

• Affects the most recent stable release of NetBox, or a current beta release
• Affects a NetBox instance installed and configured per the official documentation
• Is reproducible following a prescribed set of instructions

Please note that we DO NOT accept reports generated by automated tooling which merely suggest that a file or file(s) may be vulnerable under certain conditions, as these are most often innocuous.

For any security concerns regarding the community-maintained Docker image for NetBox, please see the netbox-docker project.

As NetBox is provided as free open source software, we do not offer any monetary compensation for vulnerability or bug reports, however your contributions are greatly appreciated.
