The Autonomous Multi-Agent AI Organization takes the security of our software and systems seriously. We appreciate the efforts of security researchers and the community in helping us maintain a secure platform. This document outlines our security policies, how to report vulnerabilities, and our disclosure process.

Only the latest active release branches receive security updates. Please ensure you are running a supported version before reporting issues.

DO NOT create public issues or pull requests for security vulnerabilities.

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in the Autonomous Multi-Agent AI Organization, please report it to us immediately through our coordinated disclosure process:

1. GitHub Security Advisory: Navigate to the Security tab of this repository, select Advisories, and click on Report a vulnerability. This is the preferred method.
2. Email: Alternatively, you can send an email to the security team (if a dedicated security email is set up).

Please include the following information in your report:

• A detailed description of the vulnerability and its potential impact.
• Specific steps to reproduce the issue.
• Any proof-of-concept (PoC) code or scripts, if available.
• The version(s) of the software affected.

Our security team will review your report and respond as quickly as possible. We strive to meet the following Service Level Agreements (SLAs):

• Acknowledge receipt: Within 48 hours.
• Triage and confirm vulnerability: Within 5 business days.
• Develop and release a patch: Timelines vary based on severity, but critical vulnerabilities are typically addressed within 14-30 days.

We will keep you updated throughout the process and will notify you when a patch is released.

We follow a policy of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD). We ask that researchers do not share details of the vulnerability publicly until a fix has been released and users have had a reasonable amount of time to upgrade.

In return, we will:

• Publicly acknowledge your contribution (if desired) in the release notes and/or GitHub security advisory.
• Provide you with updates on our progress as we investigate and fix the issue.

The following types of reports are generally considered out of scope unless they demonstrate a significant, exploitable risk:

• Volumetric / Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
• Social engineering or phishing attempts against our developers or users.
• Missing security headers or configurations that do not directly lead to exploitation.
• Outdated software versions (please ensure you are testing against the latest supported version).
• Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies (unless the dependency is used in an insecure manner by our code; otherwise, report directly to the upstream project).

We will not pursue legal action against researchers who adhere to this policy. If you conduct your research in good faith and follow the rules of engagement outlined above, we consider your actions to be authorized.

To ensure your installation of the Autonomous Multi-Agent AI Organization remains secure, we recommend the following best practices:

1. Always use the latest version: Regularly update to the newest release to ensure you have the latest security patches.
2. Principle of Least Privilege: Do not run components as the root user. Use dedicated service accounts with minimal necessary permissions.
3. Network Segmentation: Isolate the backend services and agents within a private virtual network. Only expose the necessary ports (e.g., the API gateway) to the public internet.
4. Secrets Management: Do not hardcode API keys, passwords, or credentials. Use environment variables or a dedicated secrets manager.
5. Monitor and Audit: Enable logging and actively monitor your systems for unusual activity.
