+## Security
+
+sukr processes content at **build time only** — there is no runtime attack surface.
+
+**Trust Model:**
+
+- **Untrusted:** Markdown content, frontmatter, third-party templates
+- **Trusted:** The compiled sukr binary, Tree-sitter grammars
+
+**Security Implications:**
+
+- Raw HTML in Markdown is passed through (CommonMark spec). If your content comes from untrusted sources, review it before building.
+- URLs in links and images are escaped to prevent attribute injection.
+- Templates use Tera's auto-escaping for variables; `{{ content | safe }}` is used intentionally for pre-rendered HTML.
+
+For deployment-time security (CSP headers, etc.), see the [Security docs](https://sukr.io/security.html).

+
+# Security
+
+sukr is a **build-time only** compiler with no runtime attack surface. Security considerations focus on content processing and deployment.
+
+## Trust Model
+
+| Source               | Trust Level      | Rationale                                            |
+| :------------------- | :--------------- | :--------------------------------------------------- |
+| Markdown content     | **Untrusted**    | May come from contributors, CMS, or external sources |
+| YAML frontmatter     | **Untrusted**    | Parsed from content files                            |
+| Templates            | **Semi-trusted** | User-controlled but typically from known sources     |
+| sukr binary          | **Trusted**      | Compiled from audited Rust code                      |
+| Tree-sitter grammars | **Trusted**      | Compiled into the binary                             |
+
+## Content Processing
+
+### HTML Passthrough
+
+Per the CommonMark specification, raw HTML in Markdown is passed through to output:
+
+```markdown
+<script>alert('hello')</script>
+```
+
+**If your content comes from untrusted sources**, review it before building. sukr does not sanitize HTML — this is intentional to preserve legitimate use cases.
+
+### URL Escaping
+
+Link and image URLs are escaped to prevent attribute injection attacks:
+
+```markdown
+<!-- This is safe — quotes are escaped -->
+
+[click me](<"%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E>)
+```
+
+Produces escaped output, not executable script.
+
+### Template Auto-Escaping
+
+Tera templates auto-escape variables by default:
+
+- `{{ title }}` — escaped (safe)
+- `{{ page.description }}` — escaped (safe)
+- `{{ content | safe }}` — intentionally unescaped (pre-rendered HTML)
+
+## Deployment Security
+
+### Content Security Policy
+
+For maximum protection when serving sukr-generated sites, configure CSP headers on your web server or CDN.
+
+**Recommended policy for sukr sites:**
+
+```
+Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'none'; frame-ancestors 'none'
+```
+
+This policy:
+
+- ✅ Allows styles (including inline for syntax highlighting)
+- ✅ Allows images and data URIs (for Mermaid SVGs)
+- ✅ Blocks all JavaScript execution
+- ✅ Prevents clickjacking
+
+### Platform-Specific Headers
+
+**Cloudflare Pages** (`public/_headers`):
+
+```
+/*
+  Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'none'
+  X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
+  X-Frame-Options: DENY
+```
+
+**Netlify** (`public/_headers`):
+
+```
+/*
+  Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'none'
+  X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
+```
+
+**Nginx**:
+
+```nginx
+add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'none'";
+add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
+add_header X-Frame-Options DENY;
+```
