Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in Clawspec, please follow these steps:

Private Disclosure

Do NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities privately using this method:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories (Preferred)
    • Go to the Security tab
    • Click "Report a vulnerability"
    • Fill out the vulnerability report form

What to Include

When reporting a security vulnerability, please include:

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Potential impact and attack scenarios
  • Suggested fix (if you have one)
  • Your contact information for follow-up

Response Process

  1. Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
  2. Investigation: We will investigate and assess the vulnerability
  3. Updates: We will provide updates on our progress within 7 days
  4. Resolution: We aim to resolve critical vulnerabilities within 30 days

Disclosure Timeline

  • Immediate: Fix critical vulnerabilities affecting production systems
  • 7 days: Provide initial assessment and timeline
  • 30 days: Target resolution for most vulnerabilities
  • 90 days: Maximum time before public disclosure (coordinated disclosure)

Security Measures

Development Security

  • Dependency Scanning: Automated security audits with cargo audit
  • Code Review: All changes require maintainer review
  • CI/CD Security: Automated security checks in GitHub Actions
  • Dependency Updates: Regular updates via Dependabot

Supply Chain Security

  • Verified Dependencies: Only use well-maintained, audited crates
  • Lock Files: Cargo.lock committed to ensure reproducible builds
  • Minimal Dependencies: Keep dependency tree as small as possible
  • Security Audits: Regular audits of the dependency chain

Runtime Security

  • Memory Safety: Rust's memory safety prevents many common vulnerabilities
  • No Unsafe Code: Policy against unsafe code (enforced by clippy)
  • Input Validation: Proper validation of user inputs
  • Error Handling: No sensitive information in error messages

Security Best Practices for Users

General Usage

  • Keep Updated: Always use the latest version of Clawspec
  • Audit Dependencies: Regular security audits of your project dependencies
  • Secure CI/CD: Ensure your CI/CD pipelines are secure
  • Access Control: Limit access to OpenAPI generation in production

OpenAPI Security

  • Sensitive Data: Never include sensitive data in OpenAPI specs
  • Access Control: Implement proper authentication for generated APIs
  • Rate Limiting: Apply rate limiting to generated endpoints
  • Input Validation: Validate all inputs on your API endpoints

Vulnerability Database

We maintain awareness of security issues in:

  • Rust Security Database: Monitor RustSec advisories
  • CVE Database: Track Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
  • GitHub Security Advisories: Monitor ecosystem vulnerabilities
  • Dependency Advisories: Track security issues in dependencies

Security Updates

Security updates will be:

  • Released promptly for critical vulnerabilities
  • Clearly documented in release notes
  • Backward compatible when possible
  • Accompanied by migration guides for breaking security fixes

Contact

For security-related questions or concerns:

  • Security Reports: Use GitHub Security Advisories
  • General Security Questions: Create a GitHub Discussion
  • Emergency Contact: [Provide emergency contact if needed]
