We actively maintain and provide security updates for the following versions:
| Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| 1.x.x | ✅ Yes |
| < 1.0 | ❌ No |
- Risk Level: High
- Description: The
import_graph_dataandexport_subgraphtools construct Gremlin queries from user input with basic sanitization only - Impact: Malicious queries could potentially:
- Access unauthorized data
- Modify or delete graph data
- Cause denial of service
- Mitigation: Use only in trusted environments with validated input
- Risk Level: Medium
- Description: No connection pooling, rate limiting, or query timeouts
- Impact: Server could be overwhelmed by:
- Rapid successive requests
- Long-running queries
- Connection exhaustion
- Mitigation: Deploy behind a proxy with rate limiting
- Risk Level: Low-Medium
- Description: Detailed error messages may expose internal system information
- Impact: Error responses could reveal:
- Database schema details
- Internal server structure
- Configuration information
- Mitigation: Configure appropriate log levels in production
If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:
- DO NOT open a public GitHub issue
- DO NOT disclose the vulnerability publicly until it has been addressed
Instead, please report security issues by:
Email: security@your-domain.com (replace with actual email)
GitHub: Create a private security advisory via GitHub's Security tab
Please provide as much information as possible:
- Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
- Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
- Impact Assessment: Your assessment of the potential impact
- Proof of Concept: Code or screenshots demonstrating the issue (if applicable)
- Suggested Fix: Any suggestions for fixing the vulnerability (optional)
We aim to respond to security reports according to the following timeline:
- Initial Response: Within 48 hours
- Vulnerability Assessment: Within 1 week
- Fix Development: Within 2-4 weeks (depending on complexity)
- Release and Disclosure: Within 6 weeks of initial report
- Receipt Confirmation: We'll confirm receipt of your report within 48 hours
- Initial Assessment: We'll provide an initial assessment within 1 week
- Investigation: Our team will investigate and validate the issue
- Fix Development: We'll develop and test a fix
- Coordinated Disclosure: We'll coordinate with you on timing for public disclosure
- Release: We'll release the fix and publish a security advisory
When using this software:
- Environment: Use only in trusted, controlled environments
- Network Security: Deploy behind firewalls with restricted access
- Authentication: Use strong credentials for Gremlin server connections
- Monitoring: Monitor query patterns and resource usage
- Updates: Keep dependencies and the software updated
- Input Validation: Validate all user inputs before processing
When contributing code:
- Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize user inputs
- Error Handling: Avoid exposing sensitive information in error messages
- Dependencies: Keep dependencies updated and scan for vulnerabilities
- Code Review: All security-related changes require thorough review
- Testing: Include security test cases for new features
We are actively working on improving security with these planned enhancements:
- Enhanced query sanitization and validation
- Improved error handling to prevent information disclosure
- Basic rate limiting implementation
- Connection pooling with proper timeout handling
- Query allowlisting for production environments
- Comprehensive audit logging
- Security-focused configuration options
- Advanced query analysis and blocking
- Integration with security scanning tools
- Multi-factor authentication support
- End-to-end encryption for sensitive operations
Our CI/CD pipeline includes:
- Dependency Scanning:
npm auditandaudit-cifor known vulnerabilities - Static Analysis: ESLint with security-focused rules
- Type Safety: TypeScript strict mode for memory safety
We perform regular manual security assessments including:
- Query injection testing
- Input validation testing
- Error handling verification
- Access control validation
We use the following tools for security monitoring:
npm audit- Dependency vulnerability scanningaudit-ci- CI/CD security gate- GitHub Security Advisories - Vulnerability tracking
- Dependabot - Automated dependency updates
We appreciate security researchers and users who help improve the security of this project. Contributors who report valid security issues will be:
- Credited in the security advisory (unless they prefer to remain anonymous)
- Listed in our security acknowledgments
- Invited to collaborate on security improvements
