# Security Policy ## Reporting Security Vulnerabilities If you discover a security vulnerability in the Hostaway MCP project, please report it responsibly: 1. **DO NOT** create a public GitHub issue 2. Email security details to: security@yourcompany.com 3. Include: - Description of the vulnerability - Steps to reproduce - Potential impact - Suggested fix (if any) We aim to respond within 48 hours and will work with you to understand and address the issue. ## Security Measures ### 1. Automated Security Scanning Our codebase is protected by multiple layers of automated security scanning: - **Pre-commit hooks**: Run on every commit - **CI/CD pipeline**: Run on every push and pull request - **Dependency scanning**: Daily automated checks - **Secret detection**: Real-time scanning for credentials ### 2. Security Tools | Tool | Purpose | Configuration | |------|---------|---------------| | **Gitleaks** | Secret detection | `.gitleaks.toml` | | **Bandit** | Python security audit | Pre-commit config | | **Safety** | Dependency vulnerabilities | Pre-commit config | | **Semgrep** | Static analysis | Auto-configured | | **ESLint Security** | JavaScript/TypeScript | `.eslintrc.security.json` | ### 3. Run Security Audit ```bash # Run comprehensive security audit ./scripts/security-audit.sh # Run pre-commit security checks pre-commit run --all-files # Check for secrets only pre-commit run gitleaks --all-files # Check Python security pre-commit run bandit --all-files ``` ## Security Best Practices ### API Security 1. **Authentication**: All API endpoints require valid JWT tokens 2. **Rate Limiting**: Implemented per-user and per-IP 3. **Input Validation**: Pydantic models validate all inputs 4. **CORS**: Configured for allowed origins only ### Database Security 1. **Row Level Security (RLS)**: Enabled on all tables 2. **Encrypted Credentials**: Using Supabase Vault 3. **Parameterized Queries**: No raw SQL concatenation 4. **Least Privilege**: Database roles with minimal permissions ### Application Security 1. **No Hardcoded Secrets**: All secrets in environment variables 2. **Secure Headers**: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options configured 3. **XSS Protection**: React's built-in protection + sanitization 4. **CSRF Protection**: Token-based protection ### Infrastructure Security 1. **HTTPS Only**: TLS 1.2+ enforced 2. **Security Updates**: Automated via Dependabot 3. **Container Scanning**: Docker images scanned for vulnerabilities 4. **Access Control**: Role-based permissions ## Security Headers The application implements the following security headers: ``` Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline' Referrer-Policy: origin-when-cross-origin ``` ## Dependency Management - **Lock Files**: `requirements.txt` and `package-lock.json` for reproducible builds - **Regular Updates**: Weekly dependency updates - **Vulnerability Scanning**: Automated scanning with Safety and npm audit - **License Compliance**: All dependencies reviewed for compatible licenses ## Data Protection 1. **Encryption at Rest**: Database encryption enabled 2. **Encryption in Transit**: TLS for all connections 3. **PII Handling**: Minimal PII collection, encrypted storage 4. **Data Retention**: Automatic cleanup of old data 5. **GDPR Compliance**: User data export and deletion capabilities ## Incident Response ### If a Security Breach Occurs: 1. **Immediate Actions**: - Isolate affected systems - Rotate all credentials - Review access logs 2. **Investigation**: - Determine scope of breach - Identify root cause - Document timeline 3. **Remediation**: - Patch vulnerabilities - Update security measures - Notify affected users (if required) 4. **Post-Incident**: - Conduct security review - Update documentation - Implement additional controls ## Security Checklist for Developers Before committing code: - [ ] No hardcoded secrets or credentials - [ ] All user inputs are validated - [ ] SQL queries use parameterized statements - [ ] Error messages don't expose sensitive information - [ ] Authentication checks on all protected endpoints - [ ] Proper authorization for resource access - [ ] Security headers configured - [ ] Dependencies updated and scanned - [ ] Pre-commit hooks passing - [ ] Security tests passing ## Compliance This project aims to comply with: - **OWASP Top 10**: Coverage for common vulnerabilities - **GDPR**: Data protection for EU users - **CCPA**: Privacy rights for California residents - **SOC 2 Type II**: Security controls and practices - **PCI DSS**: If payment processing is added ## Security Resources - [OWASP Top 10](https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/) - [OWASP Cheat Sheet Series](https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/) - [CWE/SANS Top 25](https://cwe.mitre.org/top25/) - [NIST Cybersecurity Framework](https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework) ## Version History | Version | Date | Changes | |---------|------|---------| | 1.0 | 2025-10-15 | Initial security policy | ## Questions? For security questions that don't involve reporting vulnerabilities: - Open a GitHub discussion - Tag with `security` label For vulnerability reports: - Email: security@yourcompany.com - PGP Key: [Add if available] --- **Remember**: Security is everyone's responsibility.
