Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in CiWiki or any Cimeika ecosystem repository, please report it by:

  1. DO NOT open a public issue
  2. Use GitHub's private security advisory feature:
    • Go to the repository
    • Click "Security" tab
    • Click "Report a vulnerability"
  3. Or email the maintainers at: security@cimeika.example.com (якщо налаштовано)
  4. Include detailed information about the vulnerability:
    • Description of the issue
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Affected versions
    • Suggested fix (if available)

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours of report submission
  • Status Updates: Every 7 days until resolution
  • Resolution: Security patches will be released as soon as possible after verification

What to Expect

  • Accepted Vulnerabilities: Will be patched in the next security release with credit given to the reporter (unless anonymity is requested)
  • Declined Reports: Will receive an explanation of why the report was not accepted as a security issue

Security Practices

Secrets Management

CRITICAL: Never commit secrets to the repository.

  • All secrets must be in environment variables or GitHub Secrets
  • Use .env files locally (add to .gitignore)
  • Follow Secrets Management Guide

Automated Security Scanning

All repositories have automated security scanning:

  • Dependabot — dependency vulnerability scanning
  • CodeQL — static code analysis
  • Secret Scanning — detects leaked credentials
  • Copilot Guard — prevents secrets in documentation

See policies/copilot-guard.md for details.

Code Review Requirements

Security-related changes require:

  • Review by security team member
  • Security testing completed
  • Documentation updated
  • Approval from 2+ reviewers

Security Vulnerabilities

Classification

Critical 🔴

  • Remote code execution
  • Authentication bypass
  • Data breach potential
  • Action: Immediate patch and deployment

High 🟠

  • Privilege escalation

Disclosure Policy

Coordinated Disclosure:

  1. Vulnerability reported privately
  2. Fix developed and tested
  3. Security advisory created
  4. Patch released
  5. Public disclosure after 90 days or patch availability

CVE Assignment: For significant vulnerabilities affecting multiple users

Security Best Practices

For Developers

  1. Input Validation

    • Validate all user inputs
    • Sanitize data before database queries
    • Use parameterized queries
  2. Authentication & Authorization

    • Use strong password policies
    • Implement MFA where possible
    • Follow principle of least privilege
  3. Cryptography

    • Use established libraries (no custom crypto)
    • Keep encryption keys secure
    • Use TLS/HTTPS for all connections
  4. Dependencies

    • Keep dependencies up to date
    • Review dependency security advisories
    • Use npm audit or equivalent regularly
  5. Logging & Monitoring

    • Log security events
    • Don't log sensitive data
    • Monitor for suspicious activity

For Operations

  1. Infrastructure Security

    • Use firewalls and network segmentation
    • Enable encryption at rest and in transit
    • Regular security patches
  2. Access Control

    • Implement RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)
    • Regular access reviews
    • Revoke access promptly when needed
  3. Backup & Recovery

    • Regular automated backups
    • Test recovery procedures
    • Secure backup storage

Security Checklist

Before Deployment

  • All dependencies updated and audited
  • Security tests passing
  • No secrets in code or configuration
  • Authentication/authorization tested
  • Input validation implemented
  • HTTPS enabled
  • Security headers configured
  • Monitoring and logging enabled

After Deployment

  • Monitor logs for anomalies

    • Preserve evidence
    • Notify security team
  2. Short-term (Hours 1-24)

    • Assess impact
    • Identify root cause
    • Begin remediation
    • Notify stakeholders
  3. Long-term (Days 1-30)

    • Complete remediation
    • Update security measures
    • Post-mortem analysis
    • Update documentation
