Security Policy

Supported Versions

We actively support the following versions with security updates:

Version Supported
1.x
< 1.0

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Where to Report

Please report security vulnerabilities to:

  • Email: security@robot-vacuum.example.com
  • Security.txt: See .well-known/security.txt for machine-readable contact info
  • PGP Key: Available at https://robot-vacuum.example.com/pgp-key.asc

What to Include

When reporting a vulnerability, please include:

  1. Type of issue (e.g., buffer overflow, SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass)
  2. Full paths of source files related to the vulnerability
  3. Location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  4. Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  5. Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  6. Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Triage: Within 1 week
  • Fix Development: Depends on severity (Critical: <1 week, High: <2 weeks, Medium: <1 month)
  • Public Disclosure: After fix is released, coordinated with reporter

Security Measures

Supply Chain Security

  • Container Images: Chainguard Wolfi base images for minimal attack surface
  • Dependency Scanning: Automated with Trivy, Snyk, and OWASP Dependency Check
  • SBOM Generation: Software Bill of Materials available for all releases
  • Signature Verification: All releases signed with GPG

Code Security

  • Static Analysis: Bandit (Python), Clippy (Rust), SonarQube
  • Secret Detection: GitLeaks in CI/CD and pre-commit hooks
  • Security Linting: Automated security checks on every commit
  • Memory Safety: Rust implementation provides memory safety guarantees

Infrastructure Security

  • CI/CD Security: Isolated runners, secret management, signed commits
  • Access Control: MFA required, least privilege access
  • Audit Logging: All security-relevant events logged
  • Vulnerability Scanning: Daily automated scans

Deployment Security

  • TLS Encryption: All network communication encrypted
  • Authentication: OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect support
  • Authorization: Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Input Validation: All user inputs validated and sanitized

Security Best Practices for Users

Running in Production

  1. Use Official Images: Only use signed container images from official registry
  2. Keep Updated: Apply security patches promptly
  3. Minimal Permissions: Run with least privilege required
  4. Network Isolation: Use firewalls and network segmentation
  5. Monitor Logs: Enable security event logging and monitoring

Development

  1. Pre-commit Hooks: Install and use provided git hooks
  2. Dependency Updates: Keep dependencies current
  3. Secret Management: Never commit secrets, use environment variables
  4. Code Review: All code changes require review
  5. Security Training: Follow secure coding practices

Known Security Considerations

API Security

  • Rate Limiting: GraphQL queries are rate-limited
  • Authentication Required: All mutations require authentication
  • Input Validation: Query complexity limits and depth restrictions
  • CORS: Properly configured for production use

Container Security

  • Non-root User: Containers run as non-root user
  • Read-only Filesystem: Where possible, use read-only filesystems
  • Minimal Base Image: Chainguard Wolfi reduces attack surface
  • No Secrets in Images: Environment variables for configuration

Python Security

  • No eval/exec: No dynamic code execution
  • Input Sanitization: All external inputs validated
  • SQL Injection Prevention: Parameterized queries only
  • XSS Prevention: Output encoding for web interfaces

Rust Security

  • Memory Safety: No unsafe blocks (verified)
  • Integer Overflow Checks: Enabled in release builds
  • Bounds Checking: Array access validated
  • Thread Safety: Ownership model prevents data races

Security Disclosure Policy

Coordinated Disclosure

We follow coordinated disclosure:

  1. Reporter contacts security team privately
  2. We confirm and triage the vulnerability
  3. We develop and test a fix
  4. We coordinate disclosure timing with reporter
  5. We release fix and advisory simultaneously
  6. After 90 days, full details may be published

Public Acknowledgment

We maintain a security hall of fame for researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities:

  • Name and affiliation (with permission)
  • Vulnerability type and severity
  • CVE identifier (if assigned)
  • Link to researcher's website/Twitter (optional)
