Our commitment is to ensure the safety and integrity of our platform and its users. This document outlines the security policy for AfricaCryptoChainx, providing guidelines on supported versions, reporting vulnerabilities, and the measures we take to maintain a secure environment. ## Supported Versions We continuously monitor and update our software to address security vulnerabilities. The following table shows the versions of AfricaCryptoChainx that are currently supported with security updates: | Version | Supported | | ------- | ------------------ | | 5.1.x | :white_check_mark: | | 5.0.x | :x: | | 4.0.x | :white_check_mark: | | < 4.0 | :x: | ### Explanation of Supported Versions: - **5.1.x:** This is the latest stable version and receives full support and regular security updates. - **5.0.x:** This version is no longer supported. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version. - **4.0.x:** This version is still supported but will soon reach its end of life. - **< 4.0:** Versions older than 4.0 are not supported. Users should upgrade to ensure they have the latest security patches. ## Reporting a Vulnerability We encourage responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities to help us maintain the security of AfricaCryptoChainx. If you find a security issue, please report it to us following these steps: ### How to Report: 1. **Contact Information:** - Email: [security@africacryptochainx.com](mailto:security@africacryptochainx.com) - GitHub Issues: Report the vulnerability through our [GitHub repository issues page](https://github.com/AfricaCryptoChainx/issues). 2. **What to Include:** - **Detailed Description:** Provide a clear and concise description of the vulnerability. - **Steps to Reproduce:** Include step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue. - **Impact:** Describe the potential impact of the vulnerability. - **Logs and Screenshots:** Attach any relevant logs or screenshots that can help us understand the issue better. 3. **Response Time:** - **Initial Acknowledgment:** We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 24 hours. - **Updates:** We will provide regular updates on the status of your report and any actions taken. - **Resolution:** If the vulnerability is confirmed, we will work to address it promptly and release a patch. If the vulnerability is declined, we will provide a detailed explanation. ### Expectations: - **Confidentiality:** We will treat your report confidentially and will not share your details without your permission. - **Recognition:** If you choose, we will publicly acknowledge your contribution to improving AfricaCryptoChainx's security. ## Security Measures To maintain a secure environment, AfricaCryptoChainx uses various tools and practices. Below are some of the key measures we take: ### 1. Dependency Management - **Tool:** [Dependabot](https://github.com/dependabot) - **Function:** Automatically checks for and updates dependencies. - **Benefit:** Keeps our codebase up-to-date with the latest security patches and fixes. ### 2. Static Code Analysis - **Tool:** [CodeQL](https://securitylab.github.com/tools/codeql/) - **Function:** Performs static analysis to detect vulnerabilities in the codebase. - **Benefit:** Helps identify and fix security issues early in the development process. ### 3. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) - **Tool:** [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) - **Function:** Automates the testing, building, and deployment process. - **Benefit:** Ensures that code changes are continuously tested and deployed securely. ### 4. Code Quality Inspection - **Tool:** [SonarQube](https://www.sonarqube.org/) - **Function:** Continuously inspects the code quality. - **Benefit:** Promotes adherence to coding standards and best practices, reducing the risk of security vulnerabilities. ### 5. Regular Security Audits - **Practice:** Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments. - **Benefit:** Helps identify and mitigate potential security risks before they can be exploited. ### 6. Employee Training - **Practice:** Regular training sessions for all team members on security best practices. - **Benefit:** Ensures that everyone on the team is aware of the latest security threats and how to mitigate them. ## Security Best Practices To further enhance the security of AfricaCryptoChainx, we follow several best practices: ### 1. Principle of Least Privilege - **Description:** Grant users and processes the minimal level of access necessary to perform their functions. - **Benefit:** Reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information and systems. ### 2. Secure Coding Practices - **Description:** Follow secure coding guidelines to prevent common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and buffer overflows. - **Benefit:** Helps ensure the codebase is robust and secure. ### 3. Regular Patching - **Description:** Apply security patches and updates regularly to all software components. - **Benefit:** Keeps the system protected against known vulnerabilities. ### 4. Encryption - **Description:** Use strong encryption to protect sensitive data both in transit and at rest. - **Benefit:** Ensures that data remains confidential and secure from unauthorized access. ### 5. Monitoring and Logging - **Description:** Implement comprehensive monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents. - **Benefit:** Provides visibility into the system’s security state and helps with incident response. ## Contact and Further Information For any security-related questions or further information, please contact us at [security@africacryptochainx.com](mailto:security@africacryptochainx.com).
