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

Please do not create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Send your report to: security@echograph.io

Or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature:

1. Go to the Security tab
2. Click "Report a vulnerability"
3. Fill out the form with details

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce
• Potential impact
• Suggested fix (if any)
• Your contact information

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Status Update: Within 7 days
• Fix Timeline: Depends on severity
  • Critical: 1-7 days
  • High: 7-30 days
  • Medium: 30-90 days
  • Low: Next release

1. You report the vulnerability privately
2. We confirm receipt and begin investigation
3. We develop and test a fix
4. We release a security patch
5. We coordinate public disclosure with you
6. We credit you in the security advisory (if desired)

1. Change Default Passwords

   POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<strong-random-password>
   API_SECRET_KEY=<strong-random-secret>
   MINIO_SECRET_KEY=<strong-random-secret>

2. Enable HTTPS

   • Use SSL/TLS certificates
   • Configure HTTPS in production
   • Update CORS settings

3. Secure Database

   • Use strong passwords
   • Enable SSL connections
   • Regular backups
   • Restrict network access

4. Configure Firewall

   • Only expose necessary ports
   • Use VPC/private networks
   • Implement rate limiting

5. Update Regularly

   • Keep dependencies up to date
   • Apply security patches promptly
   • Monitor security advisories

6. Enable Logging

   • Configure audit logging
   • Monitor for suspicious activity
   • Set up alerts

Never commit these to version control:

• API_SECRET_KEY
• DATABASE_URL
• POSTGRES_PASSWORD
• MINIO_SECRET_KEY
• OPENAI_API_KEY
• Any other credentials

1. User Roles

   • Assign minimum necessary permissions
   • Regularly review access
   • Disable inactive accounts

2. API Keys

   • Rotate regularly
   • Use separate keys per environment
   • Revoke compromised keys immediately

3. File Upload

   • Validate file types
   • Scan for malware
   • Limit file sizes
   • Use separate storage for uploads

1. Input Validation

   • Validate all user inputs
   • Use Pydantic schemas
   • Sanitize file uploads

2. SQL Injection

   • Use SQLAlchemy ORM
   • Never construct raw SQL from user input
   • Use parameterized queries

3. XSS Prevention

   • Escape user-generated content
   • Use Content Security Policy
   • Validate and sanitize inputs

4. Authentication

   • Use strong password hashing (bcrypt)
   • Implement JWT properly
   • Set appropriate token expiration
   • Never store passwords in plain text

5. Dependencies

   • Run npm audit and pip audit regularly
   • Keep dependencies updated
   • Review security advisories

1. Security Tests

   • Test authentication flows
   • Test authorization boundaries
   • Test input validation
   • Test for common vulnerabilities

2. Code Review

   • Review security-sensitive changes
   • Look for common vulnerabilities
   • Follow secure coding guidelines

1. File Upload

   • Basic file type validation
   • No built-in malware scanning
   • Recommendation: Integrate antivirus scanning

2. Rate Limiting

   • Basic rate limiting implemented
   • May need adjustment for production
   • Recommendation: Use API gateway

3. Encryption

   • Data encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
   • Database encryption not enabled by default
   • Recommendation: Enable database encryption

4. Audit Logging

   • Basic logging implemented
   • Not all actions logged by default
   • Recommendation: Implement comprehensive audit logs

1. Authentication

   • JWT-based authentication
   • Password hashing with bcrypt
   • Token expiration

2. Authorization

   • Role-based access control
   • Resource-level permissions
   • Admin/Reviewer/User roles

3. Data Protection

   • HTTPS/WSS support
   • CORS configuration
   • SQL injection prevention (ORM)
   • XSS protection

4. File Security

   • File type validation
   • Size limits
   • Isolated storage

5. API Security

   • Request validation
   • Rate limiting
   • Error handling (no sensitive info in errors)
