Reporting Security Issues

The Cerebras MCP project takes security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in the cerebras-code-mcp package, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

To report a security issue, please:

  1. Do NOT create a public GitHub issue
  2. Email us at: security@cerebras.net
  3. Include the following information:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce the issue
    • Potential impact assessment

What We Protect

This MCP server handles:

  • API keys for Cerebras and OpenRouter services
  • File system operations through the write tool
  • IDE configuration files and settings
  • Environment variables and system paths

Security Considerations

  • API Keys: Store securely in environment variables, never in code
  • File Operations: The write tool operates with user permissions
  • IDE Integration: Configuration files are created in standard IDE locations
  • Network Requests: All API calls use HTTPS encryption

Responsible Disclosure

We appreciate security researchers who help keep our users safe. When reporting vulnerabilities:

  • Allow reasonable time for investigation and patching
  • Avoid accessing or modifying user data beyond what's necessary to demonstrate the issue
  • Do not perform actions that could harm users or degrade service quality

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours of report
  • Status Updates: Weekly updates on investigation progress
  • Resolution: Security fixes will be prioritized and released as soon as possible
