Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in WaaSuP, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

  1. Email: Send details to freetools@comptrio.com
  2. Subject: [SECURITY] WaaSuP Vulnerability Report
  3. Include:
    • Detailed description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce the issue
    • Potential impact assessment
    • Your contact information for follow-up

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgment: Within 24 hours
  • Initial Assessment: Within 72 hours
  • Status Updates: Weekly until resolution
  • Resolution: Critical issues within 7 days, others within 30 days

Responsible Disclosure

  • Do not disclose the vulnerability publicly until we've had time to address it
  • Do not access, modify, or delete data belonging to others
  • Do not perform actions that could harm service availability
  • We will work with you to understand and resolve the issue quickly

Security Considerations

OAuth 2.1 Authentication

Potential Risks:

  • Token leakage or interception
  • Insufficient scope validation
  • Session hijacking
  • Authorization code interception

Mitigations:

  • All tokens use cryptographically secure generation
  • HTTPS enforcement for all OAuth endpoints
  • Token expiration and rotation policies
  • Scope-based access control validation
  • Secure session management with proper entropy

Database Security

Potential Risks:

  • SQL injection attacks
  • Unauthorized data access
  • Privilege escalation
  • Data exposure through logs

Mitigations:

  • All queries use prepared statements with parameter binding
  • Database user principle of least privilege
  • Connection encryption (TLS)
  • Sensitive data sanitization in logs
  • Regular security updates for database systems

Web Server & API Security

Potential Risks:

  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
  • HTTP header injection
  • Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
  • Denial of Service (DoS)

Mitigations:

  • Input validation and sanitization
  • CORS policy enforcement
  • Rate limiting on API endpoints
  • Request size limitations
  • Secure HTTP headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.)
  • Regular security scanner audits

MCP Protocol Security

Potential Risks:

  • Malicious tool execution
  • Resource access violations
  • Protocol-level injection attacks
  • Session state manipulation

Mitigations:

  • Tool execution sandboxing
  • Resource access controls
  • JSON-RPC input validation
  • Session state integrity checks
  • Tool capability restrictions based on authentication context

Server-Sent Events (SSE) Security

Potential Risks:

  • Connection hijacking
  • Event stream manipulation
  • Memory exhaustion attacks
  • Cross-origin data leakage

Mitigations:

  • Authentication required for SSE connections
  • Connection timeout enforcement
  • Memory usage monitoring
  • Origin validation for cross-domain requests

Security Best Practices

For Deployment

  1. Use HTTPS Only

    • Force HTTPS redirects
    • Implement HSTS headers
    • Use strong TLS configurations
  2. Environment Security

    • Keep PHP and dependencies updated
    • Use environment variables for secrets
    • Implement proper file permissions
    • Regular security patches
  3. Database Configuration

    • Use dedicated database users with minimal privileges
    • Enable SSL/TLS for database connections
    • Regular database security updates
    • Implement database firewall rules
  4. Monitoring & Logging

    • Enable comprehensive security logging
    • Monitor for suspicious activity patterns
    • Set up alerting for security events
    • Regular log analysis and retention policies

For Integration

  1. Laravel Integration

    • Use Laravel's built-in security features
    • Implement proper middleware chains
    • Follow Laravel security best practices
    • Regular framework updates
  2. Slim Framework Integration

    • Use PSR-15 middleware for security layers
    • Implement proper error handling
    • Follow PSR security standards
    • Regular framework updates
  3. Custom Tool Development

    • Validate all tool inputs
    • Implement proper error handling
    • Use least privilege principles
    • Audit tool capabilities regularly

Security Testing

We encourage security testing of WaaSuP with the following guidelines:

Permitted Testing

  • Static code analysis
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning
  • Local environment testing
  • Automated security scanning tools

Prohibited Testing

  • Testing against production systems without permission
  • Social engineering attacks
  • Physical security testing
  • Testing that disrupts service availability
  • Accessing data that doesn't belong to you

Security Updates

Security updates will be:

  • Released as patch versions (e.g., 1.0.1 → 1.0.2)
  • Documented in the CHANGELOG.md
  • Announced through GitHub Security Advisories
  • Tagged with security impact level

Dependencies

We regularly audit our dependencies for known vulnerabilities:

  • Composer: Using composer audit for PHP dependencies
  • GitHub: Dependabot security alerts enabled
  • Manual Review: Quarterly dependency security review

Compliance

WaaSuP is designed to support compliance with:

  • OAuth 2.1: Full specification compliance
  • PSR Standards: PSR-7, PSR-15 HTTP security standards
  • GDPR: Data protection and privacy by design
  • OWASP: Following OWASP Top 10 security practices
