Security Policy

Supported Versions

We release patches for security vulnerabilities for the following versions:

Version Supported
1.0.x
< 1.0

Reporting a Vulnerability

We take the security of AI Orchestrator seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us as described below.

Please Do Not

  • Open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
  • Disclose the vulnerability publicly before it has been addressed

Please Do

  1. Email us at [email protected] with:

    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if any)
  2. Allow us time to respond and fix the issue before public disclosure

  3. Encrypt sensitive information using our PGP key (available on request)

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours of your report
  • Initial Assessment: Within 7 days
  • Regular Updates: Every 7 days until resolved
  • Fix Timeline: Critical issues within 30 days

Safe Harbor

We support responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. We will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

  • Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations and data destruction
  • Only interact with test accounts they own or with explicit permission
  • Do not exploit the vulnerability beyond demonstrating it
  • Report the vulnerability promptly
  • Keep the vulnerability confidential until it is fixed

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Keep Software Updated

    • Always use the latest version
    • Monitor security advisories
    • Update dependencies regularly
  2. Secure Configuration

    • Use strong, unique credentials
    • Enable rate limiting
    • Configure proper access controls
    • Use environment variables for secrets
  3. Network Security

    • Use HTTPS for all communications
    • Implement proper firewall rules
    • Isolate in secure network segments
  4. Monitoring

    • Enable audit logging
    • Monitor for suspicious activity
    • Review logs regularly

For Developers

  1. Code Security

    • Follow secure coding practices
    • Use type hints and validation
    • Sanitize all inputs
    • Avoid hardcoded secrets
  2. Dependencies

    • Regularly update dependencies
    • Use safety to check for vulnerabilities
    • Pin dependency versions
  3. Testing

    • Include security tests
    • Test authentication and authorization
    • Test input validation
    • Use static analysis tools
  4. Code Review

    • Require reviews for all changes
    • Security-focused reviews for sensitive code
    • Automated security scanning in CI/CD

Known Security Considerations

Input Validation

All user inputs are validated to prevent:

  • Command injection
  • Path traversal
  • SQL injection (if applicable)
  • XSS attacks

Rate Limiting

Rate limiting is enforced to prevent:

  • Denial of service attacks
  • Brute force attempts
  • Resource exhaustion

Authentication & Authorization

  • API keys should be stored securely
  • Credentials should never be logged
  • Use principle of least privilege

Secrets Management

  • Never commit secrets to version control
  • Use environment variables or secret managers
  • Rotate credentials regularly

Security Features

Built-in Security

  • Input validation and sanitization
  • Rate limiting
  • Audit logging
  • Secure defaults
  • Least privilege execution

Security Headers

When deploying:

  • Enable HTTPS
  • Set security headers
  • Implement CORS properly
  • Use secure cookies

Dependency Security

We use automated tools to monitor dependencies:

  • Dependabot: Automated dependency updates
  • Safety: Python package vulnerability scanning
  • Bandit: Security linting for Python

Security Audit Log

Security-relevant events are logged:

  • Authentication attempts
  • Authorization failures
  • Configuration changes
  • Suspicious activities
  • Resource access

Compliance

This project follows:

  • OWASP Top 10 guidelines
  • CWE Top 25 mitigation
  • Secure development lifecycle
  • Regular security assessments

Contact

  • Security Email: [email protected]
  • General Issues: GitHub Issues
  • PGP Key: Available on request
