The security of Pegasus Discord Bot is a top priority. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

We release patches for security vulnerabilities for the following versions:

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them through one of these channels:

1. Email: Send details to security@cptcr.dev
2. Discord: DM a project maintainer on our support server
3. GitHub Security Advisories: Create a security advisory

Please include the following information to help us triage your report quickly:

• 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
• Triage & Analysis: Within 7 days
• Fix Development: Depends on severity (Critical: 24-48h, High: 7 days, Medium: 14 days, Low: 30 days)
• Public Disclosure: After fix is released and users have had time to update

When using Pegasus, please follow these security best practices:

• Never commit your bot token to version control
• Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
• Rotate your token immediately if exposed
• Use different tokens for development and production

• Use strong passwords for your PostgreSQL database
• Restrict database access to only necessary hosts
• Enable SSL/TLS for database connections in production
• Regular backups of your database
• Keep PostgreSQL updated with security patches

• Principle of Least Privilege: Only grant the bot permissions it needs
• Regular Audits: Review bot permissions periodically
• Role Hierarchy: Ensure the bot's role is positioned correctly
• Command Permissions: Use Discord's built-in command permissions

# Good - Using environment variables
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_token_here
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db

# Bad - Hardcoding in source files
const token = "MTE2MzU4..." // Never do this!

1. Use HTTPS for any web interfaces or APIs
2. Keep dependencies updated regularly
3. Use a process manager like PM2 with proper restart policies
4. Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
5. Monitor logs for suspicious activity
6. Use a firewall to restrict unnecessary ports

Pegasus includes several built-in security features:

• All user inputs are validated and sanitized
• SQL injection protection through parameterized queries
• Command injection prevention

• Built-in rate limiting for commands
• Configurable cooldowns
• Anti-spam measures

• Comprehensive audit logs for moderation actions
• User action tracking
• Security event logging

• Role-based access control
• Permission verification for all commands
• Hierarchical permission system

• Discord Developer Best Practices
• OWASP Top 10
• Node.js Security Best Practices
• PostgreSQL Security
