We release patches for security vulnerabilities for the following versions:

The SmartBrain team takes security seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings.

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities by emailing:

security@smartbrain.dev

Include the following information:

• Type of issue (e.g., buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
• Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
• The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
• Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
• Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
• Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
• Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

• We will acknowledge your email within 48 hours
• We will provide a detailed response within 7 days
• We will work with you to understand and validate the issue
• We will develop and test a fix
• We will publicly disclose the issue after a fix is released

We do not currently have a bug bounty program. However, we deeply appreciate security researchers who report vulnerabilities responsibly.

1. Model Integrity

   • Always validate model checksums before loading
   • Use the provided validate-model.sh script
   • Never load models from untrusted sources

2. Data Sanitization

   • Sanitize all input data before inference
   • Validate data against schemas
   • Use the dataset validation scripts

3. Access Control

   • Restrict access to model files and metadata
   • Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
   • Never commit API keys or secrets to the repository

4. Dependency Management

   • Keep dependencies up to date
   • Review Dependabot alerts regularly
   • Use npm audit to check for vulnerabilities

1. Environment Variables

   • Never commit .env files
   • Use .env.example as a template
   • Rotate API keys regularly

2. Code Review

   • All changes require code review
   • Run security scans before merging
   • Use GitHub Advanced Security features

3. Secrets Management

   • Use GitHub Secrets for CI/CD
   • Never hardcode credentials
   • Use secret scanning tools

1. Network Security

   • Use HTTPS for all API endpoints
   • Implement rate limiting
   • Use firewall rules appropriately

2. Authentication & Authorization

   • Implement proper authentication
   • Use JWT tokens with expiration
   • Validate all user inputs

3. Monitoring

   • Enable security monitoring
   • Set up alerts for suspicious activity
   • Regularly review audit logs

SmartBrain implements several security features:

• CodeQL Analysis: Automated security scanning on every PR
• Dependency Review: Automatic review of new dependencies
• Secret Scanning: Detection of accidentally committed secrets
• Model Validation: Validation of ML model integrity
• Input Sanitization: Validation of inference inputs

When we receive a security bug report, we will:

1. Confirm the problem and determine affected versions
2. Audit code to find any similar problems
3. Prepare fixes for all supported versions
4. Release new security versions as soon as possible

Security updates will be released as patch versions (e.g., 1.0.1, 1.0.2).

Subscribe to release notifications on GitHub to stay informed about security updates.

SmartBrain follows security best practices aligned with:

• OWASP Top 10
• CWE/SANS Top 25
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework

For security concerns, please use one of the following methods:

• Open a Security Advisory (preferred)
• Email: security@smartbrain.dev (if configured)
