Reporting a Vulnerability

How to Report

DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security issues via:

What to Include

Please provide as much information as possible:

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

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Status Update: Within 7 days
  • Resolution: Within 30 days (depending on severity)

Disclosure Policy

  • We follow responsible disclosure practices
  • We will work with you to understand and resolve the issue
  • We will credit you in our security advisories (unless you prefer anonymity)
  • Please allow reasonable time for us to address the issue before public disclosure

Security Best Practices

For Users

  • AWS Credentials: Never commit AWS credentials to version control
  • Environment Variables: Use secure methods to manage secrets
  • Access Control: Implement least-privilege access principles
  • Monitoring: Enable CloudWatch logging and monitoring
  • Updates: Keep dependencies and AWS services updated

For Developers

  • Input Validation: Validate all user inputs
  • Authentication: Implement proper JWT token validation
  • Authorization: Check permissions for all API endpoints
  • Encryption: Use HTTPS/TLS for all communications
  • Logging: Log security events without exposing sensitive data

Known Security Considerations

AWS Service Dependencies

  • Amazon Bedrock: Subject to AWS Acceptable Use Policy
  • API Gateway: Rate limiting and throttling configured
  • Lambda: Execution role follows least-privilege principle
  • S3: Bucket policies restrict public access

Content Security

  • AI-Generated Content: Users responsible for generated content
  • Content Filtering: Basic inappropriate content detection implemented
  • Data Privacy: No personal data stored beyond session duration

Authentication & Authorization

  • Demo Credentials: For demonstration purposes only
  • JWT Tokens: Short-lived tokens with proper validation
  • Session Management: Secure session handling implemented

Security Features

Built-in Protections

  • Rate Limiting: API throttling to prevent abuse
  • Input Sanitization: XSS and injection attack prevention
  • CORS Configuration: Proper cross-origin resource sharing
  • Error Handling: No sensitive information in error messages
  • Audit Logging: Complete request/response logging

AWS Security Integration

  • IAM Roles: Least-privilege access for all services
  • VPC: Network isolation where applicable
  • Encryption: Data encrypted in transit and at rest
  • CloudTrail: API call logging and monitoring
  • GuardDuty: Threat detection (recommended for production)

Compliance

Standards Alignment

  • AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar: Full implementation
  • OWASP Top 10: Protection against common vulnerabilities
  • SOC 2: AWS infrastructure compliance
  • GDPR: Data privacy considerations

Regular Security Practices

  • Dependency Scanning: Automated vulnerability scanning
  • Code Analysis: Static code analysis for security issues
  • Penetration Testing: Regular security assessments
  • Security Reviews: Code review process includes security checks

Incident Response

In Case of Security Incident

  1. Immediate Response: Contain the incident
  2. Assessment: Evaluate impact and scope
  3. Communication: Notify affected users
  4. Resolution: Implement fixes and patches
  5. Post-Incident: Review and improve security measures

Contact Information
