Security Policy

Scope

TREMOR is a zero-external-dependency CLI construct for seismic intelligence. It runs on Node.js 20+ using only built-in modules (fetch, node:test, node:crypto, etc.) and has no runtime package.json dependencies.

The attack surface is intentionally minimal:

  • Network: outbound HTTPS only, to public USGS and EMSC GeoJSON endpoints. No inbound listeners, no authentication tokens, no API keys.
  • Filesystem: reads source code and writes RLMF certificates/evidence bundles to paths supplied by the caller.
  • No daemon, no server, no IPC surface.

In-scope concerns:

  • Input validation on remote GeoJSON payloads (malformed/adversarial upstream).
  • Integer/float handling in magnitude, quality, and settlement math.
  • Silent corruption of evidence bundles, RLMF certificates, or Theatre state.
  • Supply-chain exposure via accidentally introduced runtime dependencies.

Out of scope:

  • Denial of service against upstream oracles (USGS, EMSC) — those are public services operated by third parties.
  • Threats that assume a privileged local attacker (they already have the codebase).
