Reporting a Vulnerability

DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

How to Report

Please report security vulnerabilities by:

  1. Email: security@hyperpolymath.dev
  2. GitHub Security Advisory: Create Advisory

What to Include

Please include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Type of vulnerability (e.g., authentication bypass, SQL injection, XSS)
  • Full paths of source file(s) related to the vulnerability
  • Location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the vulnerability (what an attacker could do)
  • Suggested remediation (if you have one)

Response Timeline

  • Acknowledgment: Within 24 hours
  • Initial Assessment: Within 72 hours
  • Status Updates: Weekly
  • Resolution Target: 30-90 days depending on severity

Disclosure Policy

We follow coordinated disclosure:

  1. Report received and acknowledged
  2. Issue verified and assessed for severity
  3. Fix developed and tested
  4. Fix released to production
  5. Public disclosure 30 days after fix (or by mutual agreement)

Security Best Practices

For Users

  • Use strong tokens: Generate GitLab tokens with minimal required scopes
  • Rotate tokens regularly: Change API tokens every 90 days
  • Monitor access logs: Review GitLab audit logs for unexpected activity
  • Use HTTPS: Always access via encrypted connections
  • Keep updated: Install security updates promptly

For Developers

  • Never commit secrets: Use .env for sensitive data
  • Validate input: Sanitize all user input
  • Use prepared statements: Prevent injection attacks
  • Keep dependencies updated: Run npm audit regularly
  • Follow OWASP Top 10: Address common vulnerabilities
  • Code review security: All PRs reviewed for security issues

Security-Related Configuration

Environment Variables

Sensitive configuration via environment variables:

# Required - Never commit these!
GITLAB_TOKEN=glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-webhook-secret-here

GitLab Token Scopes

Minimum required scopes:

  • api - Full API access
  • read_repository - Read repository content
  • write_repository - Create branches and commits

Avoid:

  • sudo - Administrative access
  • admin_mode - Admin mode access

Rate Limiting

Configure rate limits to prevent abuse:

{
  maxRequestsPerMinute: 60,
  maxRequestsPerHour: 1000
}

Incident Response

If You Suspect a Security Breach

  1. Immediately: Revoke API tokens
  2. Review logs: Check for unauthorized access
  3. Contact us: security@hyperpolymath.dev
  4. Preserve evidence: Don't delete logs
  5. Change credentials: Update all affected tokens

Our Response Process

  1. Triage: Assess severity and impact
  2. Containment: Limit exposure and damage
  3. Investigation: Determine root cause
  4. Remediation: Implement fixes
  5. Recovery: Restore normal operations
  6. Lessons learned: Update processes

Compliance

This project follows:

  • ✅ OWASP Top 10
  • ✅ CWE/SANS Top 25
  • ✅ NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  • ✅ GDPR (data protection)
  • ✅ RFC 9116 (security.txt)
