            # Security Policy

            
            The security surface area of Apache Hamilton should be pretty small in comparison to other projects.


            ## Supported Versions


            We currently only support the latest version of Apache Hamilton that's been released.


            | Version | Supported          |

            
            | ------- | ------------------ |

            
            | Latest  | :white_check_mark: |


            ## Security Model


            Apache Hamilton executes user-authored Python functions in the host process. Dataflows, extensions,

            
            and adapters therefore run with the same privileges as the Python process and must come from trusted

            
            sources.


            Hamilton also provides an explicit loader for Python pickle files. Pickle deserialization can execute

            
            arbitrary code, so `@load_from.pickle` and `PickleLoader` must only be used with files from trusted

            
            sources. When data crosses a trust boundary, use a non-executable interchange format such as JSON,

            
            Parquet, or Arrow instead.


            This is a project of the [Apache Software Foundation](https://apache.org) and follows the ASF [vulnerability handling process](https://apache.org/security/#vulnerability-handling).
