Fairway Bridge is a proof-of-concept integration tool and is not considered "production ready." Do not expect robust security measures or enterprise-level protections.
Fairway Bridge currently uses basic TCP data connections for supported launch monitors and simulators, and the HTTP server runs without HTTPS encryption.
It should not be deployed as a public-facing API or used in critical, security-sensitive environments without additional safeguards.
If you discover a new security vulnerability, please report it using the secure channels detailed below.
Additional security concerns may be identified as the project evolves.
Do not report security vulnerabilities via public GitHub issues.
Please email your report to git@stephenmendez.dev. You can expect a response within 72 hours.
Include as much of the following information as possible:
- Type of Issue: e.g., buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.
- Affected Files: Full paths of the source file(s) where the issue manifests.
- Code Location: The tag/branch/commit or direct URL where the issue occurs.
- Reproduction Steps: Any special configuration and step-by-step instructions to reproduce the vulnerability.
- Proof-of-Concept: Exploit code or demonstrations of the issue (if possible).
- Impact: A detailed description of the potential impact, including how an attacker might exploit the vulnerability.
In the interest of transparency, the following known vulnerabilities are documented as a reminder that Fairway Bridge should not be deployed as a public-facing API or used in critical, security-sensitive environments without additional safeguards.
-
Unencrypted Communication:
The HTTP server transmits data in plaintext without encryption.
Recommendation: Run the application behind a secure reverse proxy (e.g., NGINX with HTTPS enabled). -
Verbose Error Information:
Exception details may be exposed in HTTP responses, potentially leaking sensitive information.
-
Lack of Rate Limiting:
No endpoint rate limiting is implemented, making the application susceptible to denial-of-service or brute-force attacks. -
Input Validation:
Endpoints currently do not enforce comprehensive input validation.
Impact: Malformed or malicious input could lead to unexpected behavior or data corruption.
- No Authentication Framework:
There is no authentication policy.
- Limited Logging Capabilities:
Current logging mechanisms are detailed, and sensitive data may be logged.
