## Runtime Security
Hugo produces static output, so once built, the runtime is the browser (assuming the output is HTML) and any server (API) that you integrate with.
But when developing and building your site, the runtime is the `hugo` executable. Securing a runtime can be [a real challenge](https://blog.logrocket.com/how-to-protect-your-node-js-applications-from-malicious-dependencies-5f2e60ea08f9/).
**Hugo's main approach is that of sandboxing:**
* Hugo has a virtual file system and only the main project (not third-party components) is allowed to mount directories or files outside the project root.
* Only the main project can walk symbolic links.
* User-defined components have only read-access to the filesystem.
* We shell out to some external binaries to support [Asciidoctor](/content-management/formats/#list-of-content-formats) and simliar, but those binaries and their flags are predefined. General functions to run arbitrary external OS commands have been [discussed](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/796), but not implemented because of security concerns.
Hugo will soon introduce a concept of _Content Source Plugins_ (AKA _Pages from Data_), but the above will still hold true.
## Dependency Security
Hugo builds as a static binary using [Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) to manage its dependencies. Go Modules have several safeguards, one of them being the `go.sum` file. This is a database of the expected cryptographic checksums of all of your dependencies, including any transitive.
[Hugo Modules](/hugo-modules/) is built on top of Go Modules functionality, and a Hugo project using Hugo Modules will have a `go.sum` file. We recommend that you commit this file to your version control system. The Hugo build will fail if there is a checksum mismatch, which would be an indication of [dependency tampering](https://julienrenaux.fr/2019/12/20/github-actions-security-risk/).
## Web Application Security
These are the security threats as defined by [OWASP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OWASP).
For HTML output, this is the core security model:
https://golang.org/pkg/html/template/#hdr-Security_Model
In short:
Templates authors (you) are trusted, but the data you send in is not.
This is why you sometimes need to use the _safe_ functions, such as `safeHTML`, to avoid escaping of data you know is safe.
There is one exception to the above, as noted in the documentation: If you enable inline shortcodes, you also say that the shortcodes and data handling in content files are trusted, as those macros are treated as pure text.
It may be worth adding that Hugo is a static site generator with no concept of dynamic user input.
For content, the default Markdown renderer is [configured](/getting-started/configuration-markup) to remove or escape potentially unsafe content. This behavior can be reconfigured if you trust your content.

The `partialCached` template function can offer significant performance gains for complex templates that don't need to be re-rendered on every invocation.
**Note:** Each Site (or language) has its own `partialCached` cache, so each site will execute a partial once.
Here is the simplest usage:

Note that the variant parameters are not made available to the underlying partial template. They are only use to create a unique cache key.
Note that the variant parameters are not made available to the underlying partial template. They are only use to create a unique cache key. Since Hugo `0.61.0` you can use any object as cache key(s), not just strings.
