If you discover any security related issues, please email [email protected] instead of using the issue tracker.
Since its inception in 2016, Backpack has had zero security breaches or reported security issues. However, its dependencies have had security flaws discovered and fixed - even major ones like Laravel, Bootstrap and jQuery. That's why it's a good idea for any project to be reasonably up-to-date. If we consider a security issue is something that affects our users, we'll email you.
It's heavily recommended that you subscribe to the Backpack Newsletter so you can find out about any security updates, breaking changes or major features. We send an email about 1-2 emails per year. Sometimes less.
