Reporting Security Issues

If you discover a security vulnerability in the Phoenix-Evasion-Research Framework, please report it responsibly to:

Email: Redmoonsontee@gmail.com

Please do NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Scope

✅ In Scope

  • Bugs in framework code
  • Cryptography implementation flaws
  • Memory safety issues
  • Cross-platform compatibility issues affecting security
  • Dependency vulnerabilities

❌ Out of Scope

  • Educational/demo limitations (documented in code)
  • Legal/ethical questions about tool usage
  • Feature requests
  • Documentation improvements
  • Performance issues

Responsible Disclosure Timeline

  1. Initial Report: Send detailed technical report
  2. Acknowledgment: We'll acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
  3. Assessment: We'll evaluate and reproduce the issue (7 days)
  4. Fix Development: We'll develop and test the fix (14 days)
  5. Notification: We'll notify you before public disclosure
  6. Public Disclosure: We'll release fix and credit the researcher (30 days max)

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Use Latest Version: Always use the latest version from the official GitHub repository
  2. Verify Dependencies: Regularly update dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
  3. Isolated Environment: Run in a Python virtual environment (venv)
  4. Limited Scope: Use only for authorized security research and education
  5. Network Security: Run on secure, segregated networks for sensitive testing

For Contributors

  1. Code Review: All pull requests undergo security review
  2. Type Hints: Use type hints to catch potential bugs
  3. Error Handling: Implement proper error handling without exposing sensitive info
  4. No Hardcoded Secrets: Never commit secrets, keys, or credentials
  5. Test Coverage: Add tests for security-critical code

Known Limitations

  1. Demo Environment: This is primarily an educational tool. Some features are simplified
  2. Master Key: The obfuscation master key is regenerated per instance (not persistent)
  3. Windows-Specific Features: Some features only work on Windows systems
  4. No Real C2: This is not a real command-and-control framework
  5. No Payload Execution: The framework does not execute malicious payloads

Security Recommendations

Defense

  • Monitor for suspicious cryptographic operations
  • Implement behavioral analysis for sandbox detection bypass
  • Study syscall patterns for EDR evasion detection
  • Enhance debugger detection capabilities
  • Monitor process creation and memory allocation patterns

Detection Signatures

Monitor for:

  • ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher usage (without legitimate purpose)
  • Repeated hardware/VM detection checks
  • Direct syscall resolution from ntdll.dll
  • Debugger API calls (IsDebuggerPresent)
  • Unusual nonce generation patterns

Version History
