Reporting a Vulnerability

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

1. Do Not Create Public Issues

Please do not create public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities. This could put users at risk.

2. Report Privately

Send an email to sanjeev23oct@gmail.com with:

  • A clear description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Potential impact assessment
  • Any suggested fixes (if available)

3. Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Status Update: Within 7 days
  • Fix Timeline: Depends on severity (see below)

4. Severity Levels

Critical (Fix within 24-48 hours)

  • Remote code execution
  • SQL injection
  • Authentication bypass
  • Data exposure of sensitive information

High (Fix within 1 week)

  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
  • Privilege escalation
  • Significant data leaks

Medium (Fix within 2 weeks)

  • Information disclosure
  • Denial of service
  • Weak cryptography

Low (Fix within 1 month)

  • Minor information leaks
  • Non-exploitable bugs with security implications

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Environment Variables: Never commit .env files or expose API keys
  2. Database Security: Use strong passwords and restrict database access
  3. HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production
  4. Updates: Keep dependencies updated regularly
  5. Access Control: Implement proper authentication and authorization

For Contributors

  1. Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize user inputs
  2. SQL Injection: Use parameterized queries (Prisma handles this)
  3. XSS Prevention: Sanitize output and use Content Security Policy
  4. Authentication: Implement secure session management
  5. Dependencies: Regularly audit and update dependencies

Security Features

Current Security Measures

  • Input Validation: All user inputs are validated and sanitized
  • SQL Injection Protection: Using Prisma ORM with parameterized queries
  • XSS Protection: React's built-in XSS protection + output sanitization
  • CORS Configuration: Properly configured CORS policies
  • Rate Limiting: API rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • Environment Isolation: Separate development and production environments

Planned Security Enhancements

  • Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
  • API authentication and authorization
  • Request signing for sensitive operations
  • Audit logging for security events
  • Automated security scanning in CI/CD
