Security Policy

Supported Versions

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

Version Supported
0.0.x ✅

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability, please do not open a public issue. Instead, please report it via one of the following methods:

Preferred Method

  1. Email: Send details to [your-email@example.com] (replace with your actual email)
  2. GitHub Security Advisory: Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature if available

What to Include

Please include the following information in your report:

  • Type of vulnerability (e.g., XSS, SQL injection, authentication bypass)
  • Affected component (e.g., API endpoint, Docker image, configuration)
  • Steps to reproduce the vulnerability
  • Potential impact and severity assessment
  • Suggested fix (if you have one)

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Status Update: Within 7 days
  • Fix Timeline: Depends on severity (typically 7-30 days)

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. API Keys: Never commit API keys to version control

    • Use environment variables or secrets management
    • Rotate keys regularly
    • Use least-privilege IAM roles

  2. Docker Images: Always use official images from Docker Hub

    • Verify image signatures
    • Keep images updated
    • Scan images for vulnerabilities

  3. Network Security:

    • Use HTTPS in production
    • Restrict network access to TraceMind service
    • Use firewall rules appropriately

  4. Environment Variables:

    • Never expose .env files
    • Use Docker secrets or Kubernetes secrets
    • Validate environment variables at runtime

For Contributors

  1. Dependencies: Keep dependencies updated

    • Run npm audit regularly
    • Update dependencies with security patches
    • Review dependency changes in PRs

  2. Code Review: Security-focused code review

    • Check for injection vulnerabilities
    • Validate all user inputs
    • Review authentication/authorization logic

  3. Secrets: Never commit secrets

    • Use .gitignore for sensitive files
    • Use environment variables for configuration
    • Review .dockerignore before building images

Known Security Considerations

Current Limitations

  • No Authentication: TraceMind currently does not implement authentication. Use network-level security (firewalls, VPNs) to protect the service.
  • API Key Storage: API keys are passed via environment variables. Ensure proper secrets management in production.
  • Input Validation: All inputs are validated, but complex OTLP payloads should be validated at the source.

Future Security Enhancements

  • Add authentication/authorization support
  • Add rate limiting
  • Add request signing/verification
  • Add audit logging
  • Add TLS/SSL support documentation

Security Updates

Security updates will be announced via:

  • GitHub Security Advisories
  • Release notes in CHANGELOG.md
  • Version tags on Docker Hub
