Security Policy

πŸ”’ Supported Versions

We actively support the following versions of Blue CLI with security updates:

Version Supported
1.x.x βœ… Yes
< 1.0 ❌ No

🚨 Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

πŸ” Private Disclosure

DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security issues privately by:

  1. Email: Send details to [security@yourproject.com] (replace with actual email)
  2. GitHub Security Advisories: Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature
  3. Encrypted Communication: Use our PGP key for sensitive information

πŸ“‹ What to Include

When reporting a vulnerability, please include:

  • Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
  • Impact: Potential impact and attack scenarios
  • Reproduction: Step-by-step instructions to reproduce
  • Environment: Affected versions and configurations
  • Proof of Concept: Code or screenshots (if applicable)
  • Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for a fix

⏱️ Response Timeline

  • Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours
  • Initial Assessment: Within 1 week
  • Status Updates: Every week until resolved
  • Fix Timeline: Depends on severity (see below)

🎯 Severity Levels

Severity Description Response Time
Critical Remote code execution, privilege escalation 24-48 hours
High Data exposure, authentication bypass 1 week
Medium Limited data exposure, DoS 2 weeks
Low Information disclosure, minor issues 1 month

πŸ›‘οΈ Security Best Practices

For Users

πŸ”‘ Keystore Security

  • Never share keystore files or private keys
  • Use strong passwords for keystore encryption
  • Store keystores in secure locations with proper file permissions
  • Consider using hardware security modules (HSM) for production

🌐 Network Security

  • Use secure RPC endpoints (HTTPS)
  • Verify SSL certificates
  • Be cautious with custom RPC URLs
  • Use VPN for remote database connections

πŸ“Š Database Security

  • Use strong database passwords
  • Enable SSL/TLS for database connections
  • Regularly update database software
  • Use SSH tunnels for remote connections
  • Limit database user permissions

πŸ”§ Configuration Security

  • Never commit sensitive configuration to version control
  • Use environment variables for secrets
  • Set proper file permissions on config files (600)
  • Regularly rotate passwords and API keys

For Developers

πŸ” Code Security

  • Follow secure coding practices
  • Validate all user inputs
  • Use parameterized queries for database operations
  • Implement proper error handling (don't leak sensitive info)
  • Regular dependency updates

πŸ§ͺ Testing Security

  • Include security tests in CI/CD
  • Test with various input combinations
  • Validate error handling paths
  • Test permission boundaries

🚫 Known Security Considerations

πŸ” Private Key Handling

  • Private keys are stored encrypted on disk
  • Keys are decrypted in memory only when needed
  • Memory is cleared after use (where possible)
  • Consider the security of your development environment

πŸ“ File System Access

  • Blue CLI requires file system access for keystores and configs
  • Ensure proper file permissions on sensitive files
  • Be aware of temporary files that may contain sensitive data

🌍 Network Communications

  • All blockchain communications use HTTPS/WSS
  • Database connections can be encrypted (recommended)
  • SSH tunneling is supported for additional security

πŸ—„οΈ Database Storage

  • Package and module metadata is stored in databases
  • No private keys or sensitive user data is stored in databases
  • Use database-level encryption for additional security

πŸ”„ Security Updates

πŸ“’ Notification Channels

  • GitHub Security Advisories
  • Release notes
  • NPM security advisories
  • Project README updates

πŸš€ Update Process

  1. Security patches are released as soon as possible
  2. Critical vulnerabilities get immediate patch releases
  3. Users are notified through multiple channels
  4. Detailed security advisories are published after fixes

πŸ› οΈ Security Tools

πŸ” Automated Security Scanning

  • npm audit: Regular dependency vulnerability scanning
  • CodeQL: Static analysis for security issues
  • Dependabot: Automated dependency updates
  • ESLint security rules: Code security linting

πŸ§ͺ Security Testing

  • Input validation testing
  • Authentication/authorization testing
  • Cryptographic function testing
  • Network security testing
