We release patches for security vulnerabilities. Which versions are eligible for receiving such patches depends on the CVSS v3.0 Rating:

The PRISM team takes security vulnerabilities seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings, and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via one of the following methods:

1. Email: [email protected]
2. Security Advisory: Create a security advisory on GitHub
3. Bug Bounty Program: https://bugbounty.prism.example.com (if applicable)

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

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Status Update: Within 5 business days
• Resolution Timeline: Depends on severity
  • Critical: 7 days
  • High: 14 days
  • Medium: 30 days
  • Low: 90 days

1. Static Analysis: All code is scanned using:

   • Semgrep for SAST
   • CodeQL for vulnerability detection
   • Bandit for Python security issues
   • ESLint security plugins for JavaScript

2. Dependency Scanning:

   • Daily Dependabot scans
   • Trivy for container dependencies
   • OWASP Dependency Check
   • License compliance checks

3. Container Security:

   • Base images scanned for vulnerabilities
   • Images signed with Cosign
   • SBOM generated for all releases
   • Minimal, distroless images where possible

1. Authentication & Authorization:

   • JWT-based authentication with refresh tokens
   • Role-based access control (RBAC)
   • Multi-factor authentication support
   • Session management with automatic timeout

2. Data Protection:

   • All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3)
   • Sensitive data encrypted at rest
   • Secrets managed via environment variables
   • No hardcoded credentials

3. API Security:

   • Rate limiting on all endpoints
   • Input validation and sanitization
   • CORS properly configured
   • Security headers implemented

4. Infrastructure Security:

   • Network segmentation
   • Principle of least privilege
   • Regular security patching
   • Intrusion detection systems

PRISM is designed to meet the following compliance standards:

• OWASP Top 10: Protection against common vulnerabilities
• CIS Benchmarks: Infrastructure hardening
• PCI DSS: If processing payment data
• SOC 2 Type II: Security controls
• GDPR: Data privacy compliance

1. Password Policy:

   • Minimum 12 characters
   • Complexity requirements
   • Password history
   • Account lockout after failed attempts

2. Audit Logging:

   • All security events logged
   • Tamper-proof audit trail
   • Log forwarding to SIEM
   • Retention per compliance requirements

3. Encryption:

   • AES-256 for data at rest
   • TLS 1.3 for data in transit
   • Encrypted backups
   • Key rotation policies

1. Design Phase:

   • Threat modeling for new features
   • Security architecture review
   • Privacy impact assessment

2. Development Phase:

   • Secure coding guidelines
   • Peer code reviews
   • Security-focused unit tests

3. Testing Phase:

   • SAST/DAST scanning
   • Penetration testing
   • Security regression tests

4. Deployment Phase:

   • Automated security checks in CI/CD
   • Container scanning
   • Configuration validation

All developers must complete:

• Annual security awareness training
• OWASP secure coding practices
• Framework-specific security training

In case of a security incident:

1. Detection: Automated monitoring and alerting
2. Response: Incident response team activation
3. Containment: Isolate affected systems
4. Eradication: Remove threat and patch vulnerabilities
5. Recovery: Restore normal operations
6. Lessons Learned: Post-incident review
