 ## [1.0.3] - 2026-09-11
 
+### Security
+
+- The release job no longer receives the winget token or runs tests with release credentials.
+- Release builds use the commit timestamp for the build date and module timestamps.
+- The installers require HTTPS and TLS 1.2, and match checksum entries exactly.
+- The Windows installer keeps unexpanded `%VAR%` entries in the user PATH.
+- `SECURITY.md` lists the reporting channel, response window, and supported versions.
+
 ### Changed
 
 - Telemetry is on by default for interactive sessions. CI and agent sessions still send nothing

 ## Reporting
 
-Report security issues privately through GitHub security advisories or by
-contacting the maintainer directly. Do not include credentials in the report.
+Report security issues privately through
+[GitHub security advisories](https://github.com/536tech/datatf/security/advisories/new).
+Do not include credentials in the report. Do not open a public issue for a security problem.
+
+The maintainer acknowledges reports within 7 days and aims to publish a fix within 90 days.
+
+## Supported versions
+
+Only the latest release on the 1.x line receives security fixes.
+
+## Distribution
+
+Release archives ship with a `checksums.txt` file. The installers verify the archive
+checksum. Archives are not yet signed. Verify the checksum from the release page before you
+use a manually downloaded archive.
