Openbox security patches

Hello,

I was wondering how openbox deals with new security vulnerabilities?
From what I can tell, there hasn't been any active development for years....

Debian will apply necessary security patches to all the packages in the Stable repository, regardless of upstream activity.

super, nice to know thx!

so as long as the Debian team does not end the support for Openbox, we do not need to worry?

As far as security goes, yes.
Bugs are different, though Openbox does not seem to have too many.

Openbox is a window manager. I don't see what sort of vulnerabilities it might present.
I consider it feature-complete - no development required.

I think you mean the operating system itself.
