Currently, AegisNet is in active development. Security updates will be provided for:

We take the security of AegisNet seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us as described below.

• Open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
• Disclose the vulnerability publicly before it has been addressed
• Exploit the vulnerability beyond what is necessary to demonstrate it

1. Report privately: Email security details to the maintainers
2. Provide details: Include steps to reproduce, potential impact, and suggested fixes
3. Allow time: Give us reasonable time to address the issue before public disclosure
4. Coordinate: Work with us on timing of public disclosure

When reporting a vulnerability, please include:

• Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
• Location: Where the vulnerability exists (file, line, component)
• Impact: Potential security impact and exploit scenario
• Reproduction: Step-by-step instructions to reproduce
• Suggested Fix: If you have ideas on how to fix it
• Your Information: How we can contact you for follow-up

Subject: [SECURITY] Potential Secret Exposure in Docker Image

Description:
Found that API keys may be exposed in Docker image layers.

Location:
Dockerfile, lines 45-50

Impact:
API credentials could be extracted from public Docker images, 
allowing unauthorized access to cloud resources.

Reproduction:
1. Build Docker image
2. Run: docker history aegisnet:latest
3. Observe exposed secrets in layer history

Suggested Fix:
Use multi-stage builds and avoid copying .env files into images.

Contact: security-researcher@example.com

1. Never commit secrets

   • No API keys, passwords, or credentials in code
   • Use .env.example for templates
   • Use .gitignore to exclude sensitive files

2. Validate inputs

   • Sanitize all user inputs
   • Use parameterized queries
   • Validate file uploads

3. Use secure dependencies

   • Keep dependencies updated
   • Review dependency security advisories
   • Use tools like Dependabot

4. Follow principle of least privilege

   • Minimize permissions in IAM roles
   • Use service accounts with limited scope
   • Implement RBAC in Kubernetes

1. Secrets Management

   • Use secret managers (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, etc.)
   • Rotate credentials regularly
   • Never store secrets in version control

2. Network Security

   • Enable encryption in transit (TLS/SSL)
   • Use network policies in Kubernetes
   • Implement proper firewall rules

3. Access Control

   • Enable MFA for administrative access
   • Use RBAC in Kubernetes
   • Implement proper IAM policies

4. Monitoring

   • Enable audit logging
   • Monitor for suspicious activity
   • Set up security alerts

5. Regular Updates

   • Keep containers updated
   • Patch systems regularly
   • Monitor security advisories

• ✅ Container Scanning: Trivy scans for vulnerabilities
• ✅ Secret Detection: TruffleHog prevents secret commits
• ✅ Pre-commit Hooks: Automated security checks
• ✅ Multi-stage Builds: Reduces attack surface
• ✅ Non-root Containers: Runs as non-privileged user
• ✅ Network Isolation: Kubernetes network policies
• ✅ Resource Limits: Prevents resource exhaustion

• 🔄 Runtime Security: Falco or similar
• 🔄 Policy Enforcement: OPA/Gatekeeper
• 🔄 Image Signing: Cosign integration
• 🔄 SBOM Generation: Software Bill of Materials
• 🔄 Compliance Scanning: CIS benchmarks

• All secrets stored in secure secret manager
• Containers scanned for vulnerabilities
• Network policies configured
• Resource limits set
• RBAC properly configured
• Audit logging enabled
• TLS certificates configured
• Firewall rules reviewed

• Review and rotate secrets monthly
• Update base images weekly
• Review access logs weekly
• Update dependencies monthly
• Security scan before each release
• Review IAM policies quarterly

1. Assess: Determine scope and impact
2. Document: Record all details
3. Report: Follow vulnerability reporting process
4. Contain: If actively exploited, take immediate action
5. Remediate: Work with team to fix
6. Review: Post-incident analysis

1. Acknowledge: Confirm receipt within 24 hours
2. Investigate: Assess validity and severity
3. Plan: Develop remediation plan
4. Fix: Implement and test fix
5. Notify: Inform reporter and affected users
6. Disclose: Coordinate public disclosure

• Trivy: Container vulnerability scanning
• TruffleHog: Secret detection
• Hadolint: Dockerfile linting
• terraform-compliance: IaC security

• OWASP ZAP: Web application security testing
• Snyk: Dependency vulnerability scanning
• Checkov: Terraform security scanning
• kubesec: Kubernetes security scanning

We aim to align with:

• NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• CIS Benchmarks
• OWASP Top 10
• Kubernetes Security Best Practices

Future compliance goals:

• SOC 2
• ISO 27001
• FedRAMP (if applicable)

This security policy is reviewed quarterly and updated as needed.

Last Updated: 2025-10-25

For security-related questions or concerns:

• General Security: Open a discussion
• Vulnerabilities: Report privately to maintainers
• Security Features: Open a feature request

We appreciate responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities and will acknowledge researchers who report issues to us (unless they prefer to remain anonymous).

Thank you for helping keep AegisNet secure! 🔒
