Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please follow these steps:

🚨 For Security Issues

DO NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please:

  1. Email us directly: Send details to security@devscope.dev (if available) or create a private GitHub security advisory
  2. Include details:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if you have one)
  3. Allow time for response: We'll acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
  4. Coordinate disclosure: We'll work with you on responsible disclosure

🔍 What We Consider Security Issues

  • Authentication bypass
  • Privilege escalation
  • SQL injection
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
  • Remote code execution
  • Information disclosure
  • API key exposure
  • Session hijacking

🛡️ Security Best Practices

When contributing to DevScope:

Environment Variables

  • Never commit .env files
  • Use .env.example for templates
  • Rotate API keys regularly
  • Use strong, unique passwords

Code Security

  • Validate all user inputs
  • Sanitize data before database operations
  • Use parameterized queries
  • Implement proper error handling
  • Keep dependencies updated

API Security

  • Always use HTTPS in production
  • Implement rate limiting
  • Validate JWT tokens properly
  • Use appropriate CORS settings
  • Log security events

🔐 Security Headers

Our backend implements security headers:

# Example security middleware
app.add_middleware(
    CORSMiddleware,
    allow_origins=["https://yourdomain.com"],
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
)

📊 Dependency Security

We use tools to monitor dependencies:

  • npm audit for Node.js packages
  • pip-audit for Python packages
  • Dependabot for automated updates
  • Snyk for vulnerability scanning

🔄 Security Update Process

  1. Identify vulnerability through reports or scanning
  2. Assess impact and affected versions
  3. Develop fix and test thoroughly
  4. Prepare security advisory with details
  5. Release patch with security fix
  6. Notify users of the update
  7. Publish advisory after users have time to update

🏆 Responsible Disclosure

We believe in responsible disclosure and will:

  • Acknowledge your report within 48 hours
  • Provide regular updates on our progress
  • Credit you in our security advisory (if desired)
  • Work with you on coordinated disclosure timing

📞 Contact Information

  • Security Email: security@devscope.dev (preferred)
  • GitHub Security Advisories: Use GitHub's private reporting feature
  • General Issues: For non-security issues, use our public GitHub issues

🙏 Thank You

We appreciate security researchers and users who help keep DevScope secure. Your responsible disclosure helps protect all users of the platform.
