Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it privately by:

  1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue
  2. Send an email to [r.vignesh88@gmail.com] with:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if any)

We will respond within 48 hours and work with you to address the issue.

Security Considerations

Default Configurations

This toolkit ships with development-focused defaults that are NOT suitable for production:

  • Default credentials (Grafana: admin/admin)
  • No TLS/SSL encryption
  • No authentication for most services
  • Permissive network configurations

Production Security Checklist

Before deploying in production, ensure you:

Authentication & Authorization

  • Change all default passwords
  • Enable authentication for all services
  • Implement proper user management
  • Use strong, unique passwords
  • Consider integrating with your identity provider (LDAP/SAML/OAuth)

Network Security

  • Enable TLS/SSL for all web interfaces
  • Use proper firewall rules
  • Restrict network access to trusted sources
  • Consider using a VPN or private network
  • Implement proper network segmentation

Data Protection

  • Encrypt data at rest
  • Encrypt data in transit
  • Implement proper backup encryption
  • Configure log rotation and retention policies
  • Ensure sensitive data is not logged

Container Security

  • Keep base images updated
  • Scan images for vulnerabilities
  • Use non-root users where possible
  • Implement resource limits
  • Use security contexts

Monitoring & Alerting

  • Monitor for security events
  • Set up alerts for suspicious activities
  • Implement audit logging
  • Monitor failed authentication attempts

Service-Specific Security Notes

Elasticsearch

  • Enable X-Pack security features
  • Configure proper index permissions
  • Use encrypted communication
  • Regular security updates

Grafana

  • Change default admin password
  • Enable HTTPS
  • Configure proper user roles
  • Disable unnecessary features

Prometheus

  • Secure metrics endpoints
  • Use authentication for write access
  • Implement proper retention policies
  • Monitor scrape targets

AlertManager

  • Secure webhook endpoints
  • Use encrypted notification channels
  • Validate incoming requests
  • Implement rate limiting

Jaeger

  • Secure UI access
  • Implement proper authentication
  • Configure data retention
  • Monitor trace data sensitivity

Best Practices

  1. Regular Updates: Keep all components updated to latest secure versions
  2. Minimal Exposure: Only expose necessary ports and services
  3. Monitoring: Monitor all components for security events
  4. Backup: Implement secure backup procedures
  5. Documentation: Document your security configuration
  6. Testing: Regularly test your security measures
  7. Incident Response: Have a plan for security incidents

Known Security Considerations

Data Sensitivity

  • Metrics may contain sensitive information
  • Logs often contain PII or sensitive data
  • Traces may expose internal system details
  • Consider data classification and handling

Default Credentials

The following services have default credentials that MUST be changed:

  • Grafana: admin/admin

Network Exposure

All services are configured to bind to all interfaces (0.0.0.0) for ease of use. In production:

  • Bind only to necessary interfaces
  • Use reverse proxies
  • Implement proper authentication
