If you discover a security vulnerability in the AevumDB Node.js Driver, please report it responsibly. Do not open a public issue or discussion about the vulnerability.

1. Email: Send a detailed report to security.aevumdb@gmail.com

2. Include:

   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if any)

3. Response Time: We aim to acknowledge vulnerability reports within 24 hours

• We will investigate the reported vulnerability
• We will assess the severity and impact
• We will develop and test a fix
• We will prepare a security advisory
• We will request a responsible disclosure timeline
• We will credit you in the security advisory (unless you prefer anonymity)

1. Keep the AevumDB Node.js Driver Updated: Always use the latest stable version of the driver.
2. Secure Connection Management:
   • Always use secure communication protocols (e.g., TLS/SSL) when connecting to the AevumDB server.
   • Do not hardcode sensitive connection details (like API keys, passwords) directly in your application code. Use environment variables or secure configuration management.
   • Ensure proper authentication is used for all client connections to the AevumDB server.
3. Input Validation and Sanitization:
   • Always validate and sanitize all data coming from untrusted sources before passing it to the AevumDB Node.js Driver.
   • Prevent injection attacks by using parameterized queries or the driver's built-in escaping mechanisms.
4. Error Handling and Logging:
   • Implement robust error handling to prevent sensitive information from being exposed in error messages.
   • Log security-related events (e.g., failed connection attempts, authorization failures) to a secure, monitored system.
5. Least Privilege Principle:
   • Configure your AevumDB server with appropriate access controls and ensure the driver connects with the minimum necessary privileges.

• The AevumDB Node.js Driver acts as a client to the AevumDB server; its security relies heavily on the secure configuration and deployment of the AevumDB server itself.
• Network security (e.g., firewalls, network segmentation) for the AevumDB server is critical and falls outside the scope of the driver.
• Always validate and sanitize external input before it reaches the driver.
• Review security settings of your AevumDB server before production deployment.

Security vulnerability patches for the AevumDB Node.js Driver are released as soon as they are thoroughly tested. Critical patches are released outside of regular release schedules.

• Latest release of the AevumDB Node.js Driver: Security patches applied
• Previous stable release of the AevumDB Node.js Driver: Critical security patches only
• Older releases: No guaranteed security support

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

1. Reporter notifies us of vulnerability
2. We acknowledge receipt within 24 hours
3. We assign a CVE (if applicable) within 5 days
4. We prepare a fix and test thoroughly
5. We release the patched version
6. We publish a security advisory

We request a 90-day responsible disclosure window before public details are released.
