Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in nBedR, please report it privately to our security team.

How to Report

  1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
  2. Send an email to: [email protected] (or create a private GitHub security advisory)
  3. Include the following information:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce the issue
    • Potential impact assessment
    • Any suggested fixes (if available)

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours
  • Initial Assessment: We will provide an initial assessment within 5 business days
  • Progress Updates: We will keep you informed of our progress throughout the investigation
  • Resolution: We aim to resolve critical vulnerabilities within 30 days

Security Measures

nBedR implements several security measures:

Code Security

  • Static Analysis: Automated security scanning with Bandit
  • Dependency Scanning: Regular vulnerability checks with Safety and Snyk
  • Type Safety: Comprehensive MyPy type checking
  • Input Validation: Strict validation of all external inputs

Infrastructure Security

  • Container Security: Non-root user execution, read-only filesystems
  • Kubernetes Hardening: Security contexts, seccomp profiles, capability dropping
  • Network Security: Least-privilege access patterns
  • Secrets Management: Proper secret handling and rotation

CI/CD Security

  • Automated Scanning: Multi-layer security scanning in CI/CD pipeline
  • Dependency Updates: Automated dependency updates via Dependabot
  • Image Scanning: Container vulnerability scanning with Trivy
  • Code Analysis: Continuous security analysis with CodeQL

Security Best Practices for Users

When deploying nBedR, follow these security best practices:

Environment Configuration

  • Use strong, unique API keys for all providers
  • Implement proper secret management (Kubernetes secrets, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.)
  • Enable audit logging for all operations
  • Use HTTPS/TLS for all network communications

Access Control

  • Implement least-privilege access principles
  • Use IAM roles instead of access keys where possible
  • Regularly rotate credentials and API keys
  • Monitor access patterns and unusual activities

Data Protection

  • Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
  • Implement proper data retention policies
  • Use secure channels for document processing
  • Regular backup and recovery testing

Monitoring and Alerting

  • Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring
  • Set up alerts for security events
  • Regular security audits and assessments
  • Keep all components updated to latest versions

Security Updates

Security updates are distributed through:

  • GitHub Releases: All security patches are tagged and released
  • Container Images: Updated images pushed to GitHub Container Registry
  • Documentation: Security advisories published in repository
  • Email Notifications: Critical security updates sent to maintainers

Security Tools Integration

nBedR integrates with various security tools:

  • Bandit: Python security linting
  • Safety: Dependency vulnerability scanning
  • Snyk: Comprehensive vulnerability management
  • Trivy: Container and infrastructure scanning
  • CodeQL: Semantic code analysis
  • Dependabot: Automated dependency updates

Compliance and Standards

nBedR follows security standards and best practices:

  • OWASP Top 10: Protection against common web vulnerabilities
  • CIS Benchmarks: Container and Kubernetes security hardening
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Comprehensive security approach
  • 12-Factor App: Secure application development principles

Bug Bounty Program

We currently do not have a formal bug bounty program, but we welcome responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. Security researchers who identify and report vulnerabilities will be acknowledged in our security advisories (with permission).
