Hello @shbaismail, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

Hello team, Gemini here! I've taken a look at this pull request by @shbaismail. The primary goal of this PR, based on the title and the changes introduced, is to add a standard SECURITY.md file to the repository. This file serves as a crucial piece of documentation, guiding users and potential contributors on how to responsibly report security vulnerabilities they might discover and outlining which versions of the project are currently receiving security support.

Highlights

• Add Security Policy: This pull request introduces a new file, SECURITY.md, which contains a template for the project's security policy. This policy is essential for communicating how security vulnerabilities should be reported and which project versions are actively supported with security updates.

Changelog

• SECURITY.md
  • Initial creation of the SECURITY.md file.
  • Added standard sections for 'Supported Versions' and 'Reporting a Vulnerability'.
  • Included a placeholder table for listing supported versions.

Code Review

Thank you for adding a SECURITY.md file. This is an important step for communicating security policies to users and contributors. However, the current content appears to be the default template provided by GitHub and needs to be customized with information specific to this project. I've added a couple of comments to highlight the sections that require your attention.

Summary of Findings

• Incomplete 'Supported Versions' Information: The 'Supported Versions' section in SECURITY.md uses placeholder data and needs to be updated with actual project version support details.
• Incomplete 'Reporting a Vulnerability' Instructions: The 'Reporting a Vulnerability' section in SECURITY.md is a template and requires specific instructions on how to report vulnerabilities for this project.

Merge Readiness

The addition of a SECURITY.md file is a good initiative. However, the current version consists of placeholder template content. To make this file useful, the 'Supported Versions' and 'Reporting a Vulnerability' sections need to be filled out with information specific to the 'Android Architecture Samples' project. Due to these high-severity issues, I recommend that these changes be addressed before merging. I am not authorized to approve pull requests, so please ensure further review and approval as per your team's process once the requested changes are made.

[gemini-code-assist]

This 'Supported Versions' section currently contains placeholder data. Could you please update this table with the actual versions of the 'Android Architecture Samples' project that are actively supported with security updates? If this project follows a different support model (e.g., only the latest version on the main branch is supported), please clarify that here.

[gemini-code-assist]

The 'Reporting a Vulnerability' section is also a template. To make this actionable, could you please provide specific instructions on how users should report security vulnerabilities for this project? This typically includes:

• Preferred contact methods (e.g., a dedicated email address, private bug tracker, or instructions for creating a confidential issue on GitHub if supported).
• Information on what details to include in the report.
• Expected response timelines or SLAs, if any.
• What to expect regarding the disclosure process.
