Status: ✓ Fixed

• Volatile flags for proper synchronization### 9. Unicode Range Validation

• Synchronized logging methodsRisk: Invalid Unicode characters causing crashes

• Proper interrupt handlingFix: Code point range validation (0-0x10FFFF)

• No race conditionsStatus: ✓ Fixed

Risk: Memory issues from unlimited field lengths

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it privately:Fix: Field length limits (phone: 50, name: 100, notes: 1000)

Status: ✓ Fixed

1. Do not open a public issue

2. Email: [your-email@example.com] (or use GitHub Security Advisories)### 11. Sender Parsing Security

3. Provide detailed description and reproduction stepsRisk: ReDoS in sender field parsing

4. Allow reasonable time for response (48 hours)Fix: Manual hex validation with length limit (100 chars)

Status: ✓ Fixed

• Keep the application updatedFix: Input sanitization removing shell special characters

• Protect data files: chmod 600 ~/.sim800l/*.datStatus: ✓ Fixed

• Review logs regularly for suspicious activity

• Use trusted phone numbers only## Security Features
