We actively support the following versions with security updates:

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities privately by:

• Emailing us at [harmeetsinghfbd@gmail.com]
• Using GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact
• Any suggested fixes (if available)

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Status Update: Within 7 days
• Fix Timeline: Varies based on severity (1-30 days)

This project uses Codacy for automated security analysis and code quality monitoring:

• Static Analysis: Automated scanning for security vulnerabilities
• Code Quality: Continuous monitoring of code patterns and potential issues
• Dependency Scanning: Regular checks for known vulnerabilities in dependencies
• Security Hotspots: Identification of security-sensitive code areas

Our codebase follows these security practices:

• JWT-based authentication with secure token handling
• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Input validation on all endpoints
• Rate limiting to prevent abuse

• Environment variables for sensitive configuration
• No hardcoded secrets or API keys
• Secure password hashing (bcrypt)
• SQL injection prevention via SQLAlchemy ORM

• CORS properly configured
• Security headers implemented
• Request validation with Pydantic models
• Proper error handling without information leakage

• Docker containers with non-root users
• Regular dependency updates
• Secure database connections
• TLS/SSL encryption in production

We regularly monitor and update dependencies to address security vulnerabilities:

# Check for known vulnerabilities
pip-audit

# Update dependencies
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

The application implements the following security headers:

• X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
• X-Frame-Options: DENY
• X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
• Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
• Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'

• Use .env files for local configuration
• Never commit sensitive data to version control
• Use different API keys for development and production

• Environment variables managed through secure deployment platforms
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Monitoring and alerting for suspicious activities
• Backup and disaster recovery procedures

Before deploying to production, ensure:

• All dependencies are up to date
• No hardcoded secrets in code
• Environment variables properly configured
• HTTPS enabled with valid certificates
• Database connections encrypted
• Rate limiting configured
• Input validation implemented
• Error handling doesn't leak sensitive information
• Security headers configured
• Logging and monitoring in place

In addition to Codacy, we recommend using:

• GitHub Security Advisories: Automated vulnerability alerts
• Snyk: Dependency vulnerability scanning
• OWASP ZAP: Web application security testing
• Bandit: Python security linter

We appreciate security researchers and the community for helping keep our project secure. Responsible disclosure is encouraged and will be acknowledged in our security advisories.
