+# Security Policy
+
+Slack takes the security of its software and services seriously, including all open-source repositories managed through the [slackapi](https://github.com/slackapi) GitHub organization.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+**Do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, pull requests, or discussions.**
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in `java-slack-sdk`, please report it through the Slack bug bounty program on HackerOne:
+
+**<https://hackerone.com/slack>**
+
+Even if `java-slack-sdk` is not explicitly listed as an in-scope asset on the HackerOne program page, reports for vulnerabilities in this package should still be submitted there. The Slack security team triages reports for all `slackapi` open-source repositories through this program.
+
+If HackerOne is inaccessible, you may alternatively report the issue to [security@salesforce.com](mailto:security@salesforce.com).
+
+Please do not discuss potential vulnerabilities in public without first coordinating with the security team.
+
+## What to Include
+
+To help us triage and respond quickly, please include:
+
+- Type of vulnerability (e.g., signature bypass, token leakage, denial of service)
+- Affected version(s) of `java-slack-sdk`
+- Step-by-step reproduction instructions
+- Proof-of-concept code or payloads, if available
+- Impact assessment: what an attacker could achieve
+- Any specific configuration required to trigger the vulnerability
+- Affected source file paths, if known
+
+## Threat Model
+
+The Slack SDK for Java includes both Bolt for Java (an app framework) and low-level API clients. Its security boundary covers the integrity and confidentiality of the interface between the Slack platform and developer application code.
+
+### In Scope
+
+The following are considered SDK/framework vulnerabilities:
+
+- Bypass of request signature verification (HMAC-SHA256 validation)
+- OAuth token leakage or cross-tenant token exposure during authorization flows
+- Token rotation bypass or refresh token mishandling
+- Denial of service caused by malformed or specially crafted payloads processed by framework internals
+- Authentication or authorization bypass in any built-in adapter (Servlet, Jetty, Socket Mode, AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions)
+- Information disclosure through framework error responses or timing side channels
+- Header injection via token values in HTTP requests
+- Bypass of the `ssl_check` endpoint protections
+
+### Out of Scope
+
+The following are NOT SDK/framework vulnerabilities:
+
+- Vulnerabilities in the JVM runtime, operating system, or hosting infrastructure
+- Security issues in developer application logic built on top of the SDK (e.g., SQL injection caused by passing unsanitized payload data to a database)
+- Vulnerabilities in third-party Maven dependencies chosen and installed by the developer outside of the SDK's direct dependencies
+- Vulnerabilities in Slack's server-side platform infrastructure (report those directly under Slack's main HackerOne scope)
+- Attacks that require possession of a valid signing secret or bot token
+- Issues that only affect end-of-life versions with no reproduction on supported versions
+
+## Disclosure Policy
+
+This project follows coordinated disclosure:
+
+- Allow a reasonable timeframe for the team to investigate, develop, and release a fix before any public disclosure.
+- Researchers who follow responsible disclosure practices are eligible for recognition and bounty consideration through the Slack HackerOne program.
