Reporting a Vulnerability

We take the security of odinnordico.github.io seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us as described below.

How to Report

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via email to:

Please include the following information in your report:

  • Type of issue (e.g., buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
  • Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
  • The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  • Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

What to Expect

After submitting a vulnerability report, you should receive:

  1. Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours of submission
  2. Initial Assessment: Within 5 business days, we'll provide an initial assessment
  3. Updates: Regular updates on our progress as we investigate and address the issue
  4. Resolution: A timeline for when you can expect a fix to be released

Disclosure Policy

  • We ask that you give us reasonable time to investigate and fix the issue before public disclosure
  • We will keep you informed of our progress
  • Once the issue is resolved, we will publicly acknowledge your responsible disclosure (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

Security Best Practices

When using this project, we recommend following these security best practices:

For Users

  1. Keep Dependencies Updated: Regularly update Go and project dependencies

    go get -u ./...
    go mod tidy
  2. Validate Data Files: Ensure YAML data files come from trusted sources

    • Be cautious when accepting YAML files from external sources
    • Review YAML content before processing
  3. Environment Security: When running the development server:

    • Only bind to localhost unless specifically needed
    • Use --host 0.0.0.0 only in trusted network environments
    • Don't expose the development server to the public internet
  4. Asset Security:

    • Verify all assets (images, logos) are from trusted sources
    • Scan uploaded or user-provided files for malware

For Contributors

  1. Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize user inputs

  2. Dependency Management:

    • Review dependencies before adding them
    • Keep dependencies up to date
    • Use Go's vulnerability scanner: go run golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest ./...
  3. Code Review:

    • All code changes should be reviewed by at least one other maintainer
    • Security-sensitive changes require additional scrutiny
  4. Testing:

    • Write tests for security-critical functionality
    • Include negative test cases for validation logic

Known Security Considerations

YAML Processing

  • This project processes YAML files which could potentially contain malicious content
  • Always review YAML files from untrusted sources before processing
  • The yaml.v3 library is used with default safe parsing

File System Access

  • The application reads from and writes to the file system
  • Ensure appropriate file permissions on data directories
  • Be cautious with the --data-dir and --output-dir flags

Development Server

  • The development server (serve command) is intended for local development only
  • Do not use the development server in production environments
  • Production deployments should use proper web servers (nginx, Apache, etc.)

Template Execution

  • Templates are executed with access to resume data
  • Custom templates should be reviewed for potential injection vulnerabilities
  • Only use templates from trusted sources

Security Updates

Security updates will be announced through:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories: Security Advisories
  2. Release Notes: Check our Releases page
  3. README Updates: Critical security information will also be added to the README

Vulnerability Scanning

We use the following tools to scan for vulnerabilities:

  • Go Vulnerability Database: govulncheck
  • Dependency Scanning: GitHub Dependabot
  • Code Analysis: GitHub CodeQL (if configured)

To check for vulnerabilities locally:

# Install govulncheck
go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest

# Run vulnerability check
govulncheck ./...
