• Version number where the vulnerability exists
• Detailed description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact and attack scenarios
• Suggested fix (if you have one)
• Your contact information for follow-up questions

For highly sensitive reports, you can use our PGP key:

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
[PGP Key would be here in a real implementation]
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Key ID: 0x1234567890ABCDEF
Fingerprint: 1234 5678 90AB CDEF 1234 5678 90AB CDEF 1234 5678

We are committed to responding to security reports promptly:

We classify vulnerabilities using the following criteria:

• Local privilege escalation
• Moderate denial of service

• Minor information disclosure
• Low-impact denial of service
• Issues requiring significant user interaction

• mTLS Authentication: Mutual TLS for all client-server communications
• PKI Management: Comprehensive certificate lifecycle management
• RBAC: Role-based access control with fine-grained permissions
• Input Validation: Comprehensive request validation and sanitization
• Security Headers: CORS, CSP, HSTS, and other security headers
• Audit Logging: Comprehensive security event logging

• Token Security: Secure token storage and rotation
• Rate Limiting: Protection against abuse and spam
• Permission Validation: Strict Discord permission checking
• Input Sanitization: All user inputs are validated and sanitized

• Container Security: Minimal attack surface with distroless images
• Secrets Management: Secure handling of sensitive configuration
• Network Security: Encrypted communications between components
• Regular Updates: Automated dependency updates and security patches

• Secure Coding: Follow OWASP guidelines and secure coding practices
• Dependency Management: Regular updates and vulnerability scanning
• Code Review: All code changes require security-focused review
• Testing: Comprehensive security testing including penetration testing

• Keep Updated: Always use the latest supported versions
• Strong Authentication: Use strong, unique passwords and enable 2FA
• Network Security: Deploy behind firewalls and use VPNs when appropriate
• Monitor Logs: Regularly review security logs and audit trails

We follow a coordinated disclosure model:

1. Report received and acknowledged
2. Investigation and verification of the vulnerability
3. Fix development and testing
4. Coordinated release of the fix
5. Public disclosure after users have had time to update

• Immediate: For actively exploited vulnerabilities
• 30 days: For critical vulnerabilities with available fixes
• 90 days: For all other vulnerabilities with available fixes
• Extended: If fix requires significant architectural changes

We believe in recognizing security researchers who help improve our security:

• Security Hall of Fame: Public recognition on our website
• CVE Credits: Proper attribution in CVE databases
• Swag and Rewards: Gopteran merchandise for significant findings
• Early Access: Beta access to new features and releases

We are currently developing a formal bug bounty program. In the meantime:

• Responsible disclosure is always appreciated
• Recognition will be provided for valid security reports
• Coordination on disclosure timing is expected
• Good faith research is protected under our policy

• Security Architecture Guide
• Deployment Security Guide
• API Security Documentation

• Security Scanner
• Configuration Validator
• Audit Log Analyzer

• Security Team: security@gopteran.dev
• General Inquiries: hello@gopteran.dev
• Emergency Contact: emergency@gopteran.dev

Gopteran supports safe harbor for security researchers who:

• Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations and disruptions
• Only interact with accounts you own or with explicit permission
• Do not access or modify data belonging to others
• Report vulnerabilities promptly and allow reasonable time for fixes
• Do not publicly disclose vulnerabilities before coordinated disclosure

We will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

• Follow our responsible disclosure policy
• Act in good faith to identify and report security vulnerabilities
• Do not violate any applicable laws or regulations
• Do not access or modify data without authorization

This security policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify the community of significant changes through:

• GitHub releases and changelogs
• Discord announcements in our security channel
• Email notifications to registered security researchers
• Website updates on our security page

Thank you for helping keep Gopteran and our community safe. Your efforts to responsibly disclose security vulnerabilities help us maintain the trust of our users and the integrity of our systems.

Together, we can build a more secure ecosystem for everyone. 🦅
