Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security bugs seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings, and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

How to Report

Please report security vulnerabilities by emailing us at security@example.com with the following information:

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

What to Expect

  • We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours
  • We will provide regular updates on our progress
  • We will credit you in our security advisories (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Keep your installation updated - Always use the latest stable version
  2. Use strong passwords - Ensure all user accounts have strong, unique passwords
  3. Enable HTTPS - Always use HTTPS in production environments
  4. Regular backups - Maintain regular backups of your data
  5. Monitor access logs - Regularly review access logs for suspicious activity

For Developers

  1. Environment Variables - Never commit secrets or credentials to version control
  2. Input Validation - Always validate and sanitize user inputs
  3. SQL Injection Prevention - Use parameterized queries and ORM methods
  4. Authentication - Implement proper authentication and authorization
  5. HTTPS Only - Ensure all communications use HTTPS in production

Security Features

Authentication & Authorization

  • JWT-based authentication with configurable expiration
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Organization-based data isolation
  • API key authentication for IoT devices

Data Protection

  • Password hashing using bcrypt
  • Encrypted database connections
  • Input validation and sanitization
  • SQL injection prevention

Network Security

  • CORS configuration
  • Rate limiting
  • Request size limits
  • WebSocket security

Known Security Considerations

Development vs Production

  • Default credentials are provided for development only
  • Debug mode should never be enabled in production
  • SQLite should not be used in production environments
  • Secret keys must be changed from default values

IoT Device Security

  • Device API keys should be rotated regularly
  • Network communication should be encrypted
  • Device firmware should be kept updated
  • Implement proper device authentication

Security Updates

Security updates will be released as soon as possible after a vulnerability is discovered and patched. We will:

  • Release patches for supported versions
  • Provide detailed security advisories
  • Credit security researchers appropriately
  • Maintain a changelog of security fixes
