| Security guidance | The deployment guide warns that default synchronous workers can be vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks unless the proxy buffers slow clients. | The security page recommends regularly updating lighttpd and says its security defaults improve over time when updates are deployed. |
| Security reporting | The community page asks users to report security vulnerabilities privately to [email protected]; only core developers subscribe to that list. | The project directs bugs to its issue tracker and provides [email protected] for reports that should not be public. |
| Support | The project provides GitHub issues and discussions plus a Libera.Chat channel, and notes that chat has no guaranteed watcher. | The project directs support questions to its forums and also lists IRC at Libera.Chat in channel #lighttpd. |
