Do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

What to Include

When reporting a vulnerability, please include:

  • A description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Affected versions
  • Potential impact
  • Any suggested fixes (if available)

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours of submission

  • Resolution Timeline: We aim to patch critical vulnerabilities within 30 days

What to Expect

If Accepted:

  • We will confirm the vulnerability and work on a fix
  • You will be credited in the security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
  • We will notify you when the patch is released
  • A CVE may be assigned for significant vulnerabilities

If Declined:

  • We will explain why the reported issue is not considered a vulnerability
  • You may appeal the decision with additional information

Security Best Practices

Authentication & Authorization

  • All authentication is handled through Supabase Auth
  • Session tokens are stored securely using httpOnly cookies
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) is enforced on all protected routes
  • Never store sensitive credentials in client-side code

Data Protection

  • All data transmission uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
  • Database credentials are stored in environment variables
  • Supabase Row Level Security (RLS) policies are enabled
  • User input is sanitized to prevent XSS attacks

Environment Variables

The following environment variables must be properly configured:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_url
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_supabase_anon_key

Never commit .env.local or production credentials to the repository.

Dependencies

  • We use pnpm for dependency management
  • Dependencies are regularly updated to patch known vulnerabilities
  • Use pnpm audit to check for vulnerable dependencies
  • Automated dependency updates are handled through Dependabot

Content Security Policy

The application implements Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to prevent:

  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Clickjacking attacks
  • Code injection attacks

Rate Limiting

API routes implement rate limiting to prevent:

  • Brute force attacks
  • DDoS attacks
  • API abuse

Secure Development Guidelines

For Contributors

  1. Code Review: All PRs require review before merging
  2. Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize user input
  3. SQL Injection: Use parameterized queries (Supabase automatically handles this)
  4. XSS Prevention: Sanitize output and use React's built-in XSS protection
  5. CSRF Protection: Use Next.js CSRF tokens for state-changing operations
  6. Secrets: Never hardcode API keys, tokens, or passwords

Security Checklist

Before submitting code:

  • User input is validated and sanitized
  • Authentication checks are in place for protected routes
  • No sensitive data is logged
  • No secrets are committed to the repository
  • Dependencies are up to date
  • Error messages don't expose sensitive information
  • File uploads are validated for type and size
  • Database queries use parameterized inputs
