We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please report it responsibly.

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Email your findings to: security@openshu.ai

Please include:

• A description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact
• Any suggested fixes (optional)

We will do our best to keep to all timelines below:

• Acknowledgment: Receipt of your report within 48 hours.
• Initial Assessment: An initial assessment within 7 days.
• Resolution Timeline: Resolve critical vulnerabilities within 30 days.
• Disclosure: Coordinate with you on public disclosure timing.

We consider security research conducted in good faith to be authorized. We will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

• Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations and disruptions to others
• Provide us reasonable time to address the issue before public disclosure
• Do not exploit the vulnerability beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the issue

When deploying Shu, ensure you:

1. Use strong secrets: Generate cryptographically secure values for JWT_SECRET_KEY, SHU_LLM_ENCRYPTION_KEY, and SHU_OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY
2. Secure database access: Use strong passwords and restrict network access to PostgreSQL
3. Enable HTTPS: Always use TLS in production
4. Restrict admin access: Configure ADMIN_EMAILS appropriately
5. Review OAuth scopes: Only request necessary permissions for integrations
6. Keep dependencies updated: Regularly update Python and npm packages

This policy applies to the Shu repository and officially maintained components.
