## Security & Production Deployment

### Important Security Notice

AdminLTE is a **UI template** - when deploying to production, follow these critical guidelines:

**What to Deploy:**
- Only compiled production assets: `dist/js/adminlte.min.js` and `dist/css/adminlte.min.css`
- Your application-specific files

**What NOT to Deploy:**
- `node_modules/` directory
- Demo/example HTML files (index.html, index2.html, index3.html, etc.)
- Source files (`src/` directory)
- Development configuration files

**CVE-2021-36471 Notice:**
This CVE is **disputed** and does not represent a vulnerability in AdminLTE. It refers to demo pages being accessible when developers incorrectly deploy example files to production. AdminLTE v4 has a clear separation between development demos and production assets. See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for complete details.

**Production Build:**
```bash
npm run production  # Builds optimized assets in dist/
```

For detailed security guidelines, authentication requirements, and best practices, see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
