We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please follow our responsible disclosure process:

Do NOT open a public issue! Instead, report vulnerabilities through one of these channels:

• Email: security@secureyeoman.ai
• GitHub Private Report: Submit private vulnerability report
• PGP Key: Available for encrypted communication on request

Please include the following information:

• Vulnerability Type: (e.g., XSS, SQL injection, authentication bypass)
• Affected Versions: Which versions are affected
• Proof of Concept: Steps to reproduce the vulnerability
• Impact Assessment: Potential impact if exploited
• Suggested Fix: (optional) How you think it should be fixed

We aim to respond within:

• 48 hours: Initial acknowledgment
• 7 days: Assessment and patch development
• 14 days: Security release (if confirmed)

We will coordinate public disclosure with you:

• Fix will be developed and tested
• Security release will be prepared
• CVE ID will be requested (if applicable)
• Public disclosure will be coordinated with your timeline

SecureYeoman includes several security features:

• Input Validation: All inputs are validated and sanitized
• Authentication: JWT and API key authentication
• Authorization: Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Encryption: AES-256-GCM encryption at rest and in transit
• Audit Logging: Comprehensive audit trail with cryptographic integrity
• Sandboxing: Isolated execution environment
• Rate Limiting: Protection against abuse
• Secret Management: Secure storage and rotation

For detailed information about our security architecture, see:

• Security Model
• Security Testing Guide
• Architecture Overview

1. Keep Updated: Always run the latest version
2. Strong Authentication: Use strong, unique passwords
3. Network Security: Run behind firewalls when possible
4. Regular Audits: Review audit logs regularly
5. Principle of Least Privilege: Use minimal required permissions

1. Input Validation: Never trust user input
2. Error Handling: Don't expose sensitive information in errors
3. Dependencies: Keep dependencies updated and regularly audit them
4. Testing: Write security tests alongside functional tests
5. Review: Have security changes peer-reviewed

• Local-First: Data stays on your system by default
• Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted at rest
• Audit Trail: All access is logged and verifiable
• Secret Management: Secrets are never logged or exposed

• TLS Only: All network communications use TLS 1.3
• Certificate Validation: Strict certificate validation
• Domain Whitelisting: Only approved domains are accessed
• Rate Limiting: Protection against abuse and attacks

• Sandboxing: Code execution in isolated environment
• Resource Limits: CPU, memory, and network constraints
• Input Sanitization: All inputs are validated and sanitized
• Error Handling: Secure error handling without information leakage

We regularly scan dependencies for vulnerabilities:

• Automated Scanning: GitHub Actions security audit
• Manual Reviews: Regular manual security reviews
• Patch Management: Prompt patching of vulnerable dependencies
• Advisories: Security advisories for affected versions

Our security testing includes:

• Static Analysis: Code scanning for security issues
• Dynamic Analysis: Runtime security testing
• Penetration Testing: Regular security assessments
• Fuzz Testing: Input validation testing

In case of a security incident:

1. Immediate Response: Contain and assess the impact
2. Communication: Notify affected users
3. Remediation: Patch and fix the vulnerability
4. Post-Mortem: Learn and improve processes
