Security Best Practices

For Users

  • Always use the latest version of Gofred CLI
  • Keep your Go installation up to date
  • Be cautious when downloading and running binaries
  • Verify checksums when available
  • Report suspicious behavior immediately

For Developers

  • Follow secure coding practices
  • Keep dependencies up to date
  • Use security scanning tools
  • Implement proper input validation
  • Follow the principle of least privilege

Security Features

Gofred CLI implements several security features:

  • Checksum verification: Downloaded binaries are verified against checksums
  • Secure defaults: Sensible security defaults out of the box
  • Minimal permissions: Only requests necessary permissions
  • Sandboxed execution: WebAssembly provides additional isolation

Known Security Considerations

WebAssembly Security

  • WebAssembly runs in a sandboxed environment
  • Limited access to system resources
  • No direct file system access (except through provided APIs)

Network Security

  • All network requests use HTTPS when possible
  • CDN downloads are verified against checksums
  • No sensitive data is transmitted in plain text

File System Security

  • Applications are created in user-specified directories
  • No automatic execution of downloaded code
  • User has full control over file permissions

Security Updates

Security updates are released as soon as possible after a vulnerability is discovered and fixed. Updates are announced through:

  • GitHub releases
  • Security advisories
  • Email notifications (for critical vulnerabilities)
