MCPH (Model Context Protocol Hub) takes security seriously. This document outlines our security policy, vulnerability reporting process, and commitment to addressing security issues in a timely manner.

We provide security updates for the following versions:

If you discover a security vulnerability in MCPH, please report it responsibly by following these steps:

1. Do NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
2. Do NOT disclose the vulnerability publicly until we have had a chance to address it

Please send security vulnerability reports to: security@mcph.io

Include the following information in your report:

• A clear description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact and severity assessment
• Any suggested remediation steps
• Your contact information for follow-up

If email is not available, you can:

1. Create a private security advisory on GitHub
2. Contact the maintainers directly through encrypted channels

We are committed to addressing security vulnerabilities within 30 days of disclosure:

• Within 24 hours: Acknowledge receipt of your report
• Within 7 days: Provide initial assessment and severity classification
• Within 30 days: Release a fix or provide a detailed remediation plan

• OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic Client Registration
• API key-based authentication for MCP tools
• Firebase Authentication integration
• Proper access control for shared content

• All data transmission uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
• Password hashing using bcrypt with salt
• Secure handling of authentication tokens
• Input validation and sanitization

• Rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Request timeout protection
• CORS configuration for web security
• Security headers via Helmet.js
• Structured logging for security monitoring

• Content-Type validation for uploads
• File size limits to prevent abuse
• Automatic content expiration for anonymous uploads
• Secure signed URLs for file access

• Keep your API keys secure and rotate them regularly
• Use HTTPS for all MCP server communications
• Implement proper error handling in your applications
• Validate all user inputs before sending to MCPH

• Use password protection for sensitive content
• Review sharing permissions before making content public
• Regularly audit your shared content
• Remove expired or unnecessary shared items

• Anonymous uploads are public by default
• Content-based scanning is limited
• User-generated content is not automatically moderated

• Content security scanning
• Enhanced audit logging
• Advanced threat detection
• Multi-factor authentication support

Security updates will be communicated through:

1. GitHub Security Advisories
2. Release notes with security tags
3. Email notifications to registered users (if applicable)
4. Documentation updates

• Monitor our GitHub repository for security updates
• Subscribe to release notifications
• Update to the latest version promptly when security fixes are available
• Review our changelog for security-related changes

MCPH follows industry-standard security practices:

• OWASP Web Application Security guidelines
• OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect specifications
• Google Cloud Platform security best practices
• Firebase security recommendations

We conduct regular security assessments including:

• Code reviews with security focus
• Dependency vulnerability scanning
• Infrastructure security audits
• Penetration testing (when applicable)

If we discover or are informed of a security incident:

1. Immediate Assessment: Evaluate the scope and impact
2. Containment: Take immediate steps to prevent further exposure
3. Investigation: Determine root cause and affected systems
4. Communication: Notify affected users within 72 hours
5. Remediation: Implement fixes and strengthen defenses
6. Follow-up: Provide detailed incident report and prevention measures

In the event of a data breach or security incident affecting user data:

• We will notify affected users within 72 hours
• Notification will include impact assessment and recommended actions
• Updates will be provided as the investigation progresses

• Primary Contact: security@mcph.io
• GitHub Security: Create a private security advisory
• Emergency Contact: Available through GitHub issue escalation

• Project maintainers can be reached through GitHub issues for non-security matters
• For urgent security matters, use the security contact methods above

We appreciate the security research community's efforts to improve our security. Researchers who responsibly disclose security vulnerabilities will be:

• Credited in our security advisories (with their permission)
• Listed in our hall of fame (if they wish)
• Provided with updates on fix progress

We support responsible disclosure and will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

• Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations and data destruction
• Report vulnerabilities through proper channels
• Allow reasonable time for fixes before public disclosure
• Do not access or modify user data beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability

This security policy constitutes our safe harbor for security researchers acting in good faith under the terms described above.
