Is the code hosted publicly on a Git repo somewhere?  It would be easier
to catch errors and vulnerabilities if there was a defined development
process and the code was available.  This would also help in accepting
contributions from others as well.

Any security vulnerabilities should be fixed ASAP and having the code
available would help in finding issues sooner.

Regards,
Mitch
