We commit to responding to security reports within the following timeframes:

We use the CVSS 3.1 standard to classify security vulnerabilities:

• Remote code execution vulnerabilities
• Complete system privilege escalation
• Large-scale data breaches
• Vulnerabilities affecting core authentication mechanisms

Examples:

• Unauthenticated remote code execution
• SQL injection leading to complete database access
• Authentication bypass vulnerabilities

• Privilege escalation vulnerabilities
• Sensitive data disclosure
• Denial of service attacks
• Security bypass of important functionality

Examples:

• Local privilege escalation
• Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
• Sensitive file reading

• Information disclosure
• Lower impact permission issues
• Configuration-related security issues

Examples:

• Information disclosure vulnerabilities
• CSRF attacks
• Use of weak encryption algorithms

• Minor information disclosure
• Vulnerabilities requiring special conditions
• Best practice related issues

Examples:

• Version information disclosure
• Insecure default configurations
• Missing security headers

1. Vulnerability Verification (1-3 days)

   • Technical team verifies the authenticity and impact scope of the vulnerability
   • Assess the severity and priority of the vulnerability

2. Impact Analysis (1-2 days)

   • Analyze affected versions and components
   • Evaluate the complexity and risk of the fix

3. Fix Development (Based on severity)

   • Develop security patches
   • Conduct internal testing and verification

4. Security Advisory Preparation

   • Prepare security advisories and release notes
   • Coordinate release timing

5. Patch Release

  # Enable HTTPS
  tls:
    enabled: true
    cert_file: "/path/to/cert.pem"
    key_file: "/path/to/key.pem"

  # JWT configuration
  jwt:
    secret: "${JWT_SECRET}"  # Use environment variables
    expiration: "24h"

  # Password policy
  password:
    min_length: 8
    require_uppercase: true
    require_lowercase: true
    require_numbers: true
    require_special: true

  # Session security
  session:
    timeout: "30m"
    secure_cookie: true
    http_only: true
    same_site: "strict"

• Enable Audit Logs: Record all security-related operations
• Monitor Abnormal Activities: Set up security monitoring and alerts
• Regular Security Scans: Use security scanning tools to check for vulnerabilities
• Backup Strategy: Regularly backup important data

Input Validation

// Correct input validation example
func (h *UserHandler) CreateUser(c *gin.Context) {
    var req CreateUserRequest
    if err := c.ShouldBindJSON(&req); err != nil {
        c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": "Invalid request format"})
        return
    }

    // Validate and sanitize input
    if err := h.validator.Validate(&req); err != nil {
        c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()})
        return
    }

    // HTML escape to prevent XSS
    req.Username = html.EscapeString(strings.TrimSpace(req.Username))
    req.Email = strings.ToLower(strings.TrimSpace(req.Email))

    // Handle business logic...
}

SQL Injection Protection

// Use parameterized queries
func (r *userRepository) GetByUsername(ctx context.Context, username string) (*User, error) {
    var user User
    err := r.db.WithContext(ctx).Where("username = ?", username).First(&user).Error
    if err != nil {
        return nil, errors.Wrap(err, "failed to get user by username")
    }
    return &user, nil
}

Sensitive Data Handling

// Password encryption storage
func HashPassword(password string) (string, error) {
    bytes, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(password), bcrypt.DefaultCost)
    if err != nil {
        return "", errors.Wrap(err, "failed to hash password")
    }
    return string(bytes), nil
}

// Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
type Config struct {
    DBPassword string `env:"DB_PASSWORD,required"`
    JWTSecret  string `env:"JWT_SECRET,required"`
    APIKey     string `env:"API_KEY,required"`
}

Security Testing Checklist

• Input validation testing
• Authentication and authorization testing
• SQL injection testing
• XSS attack testing
• CSRF attack testing
• Sensitive data leakage testing
• Privilege escalation testing
• Session management testing
