ICE Locator MCP Server

# Security Policy ## Supported Versions We release patches for security vulnerabilities for the following versions: | Version | Supported | | ------- | ------------------ | | 1.0.x | :white_check_mark: | | < 1.0 | :x: | ## Security Considerations The ICE Locator MCP Server implements several security measures: ### Anti-Detection Security - **Proxy rotation** with health monitoring - **Request obfuscation** to prevent fingerprinting - **Behavioral simulation** for human-like patterns - **Rate limiting** to prevent abuse ### Data Security - **No persistent storage** of sensitive data - **Local-only caching** with automatic expiration - **Input validation** and sanitization - **Error handling** without information disclosure ### Network Security - **TLS/SSL enforcement** for all connections - **Certificate validation** for proxy connections - **Timeout handling** to prevent hanging connections - **Request retry limits** to prevent infinite loops ## Reporting a Vulnerability If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps: ### 1. Do NOT open a public issue Security vulnerabilities should not be reported through public GitHub issues. ### 2. Report privately Send a detailed report to: **security@ice-locator-mcp.org** Include: - Description of the vulnerability - Steps to reproduce - Potential impact assessment - Suggested fix (if known) ### 3. Response timeline - **24 hours**: Initial acknowledgment - **72 hours**: Preliminary assessment - **7 days**: Detailed investigation results - **30 days**: Fix implementation and release ### 4. Responsible disclosure We follow responsible disclosure practices: - We will work with you to understand the issue - We will keep you informed of our progress - We will credit you in the security advisory (unless you prefer anonymity) - We ask that you do not disclose the vulnerability until we have released a fix ## Security Best Practices ### For Users - **Keep software updated** to the latest version - **Use secure proxy services** if proxy functionality is enabled - **Monitor logs** for unusual activity - **Follow rate limiting guidelines** to avoid detection - **Use strong authentication** for any custom configurations ### For Developers - **Validate all inputs** thoroughly - **Use parameterized queries** to prevent injection - **Handle errors gracefully** without revealing sensitive information - **Follow secure coding practices** outlined in CONTRIBUTING.md - **Run security tests** before submitting pull requests ## Known Security Considerations ### Anti-Detection Measures This software implements anti-detection measures including: - IP rotation through proxy services - Request timing obfuscation - User-agent rotation - Behavioral simulation **Important**: These measures are designed solely to prevent automated blocking and should be used responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws. ### Legal Compliance - Users are responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws - The software is designed for legitimate use cases only - Anti-detection measures must not be used for malicious purposes - Rate limiting helps prevent abuse of target systems ### Data Privacy - No personal information is permanently stored - All caching is local and temporary - Network requests are made directly from user's system - No data is transmitted to third-party services (except configured proxies) ## Threat Model ### In Scope - Code injection vulnerabilities - Authentication bypass - Information disclosure - Denial of service vulnerabilities - Dependency vulnerabilities - Configuration security issues ### Out of Scope - Social engineering attacks - Physical security issues - Issues in dependencies (report to respective maintainers) - Issues requiring physical access to the system - Network infrastructure attacks ## Security Tools and Testing We use the following tools for security testing: - **bandit**: Python security linter - **safety**: Dependency vulnerability scanner - **pytest**: Security-focused unit tests - **GitHub Security Advisories**: Automated dependency scanning ## Incident Response In case of a security incident: 1. **Immediate response** (within 1 hour) - Assess severity and impact - Implement temporary mitigations if possible - Notify key stakeholders 2. **Short-term response** (within 24 hours) - Develop and test fix - Prepare security advisory - Coordinate with reporters 3. **Long-term response** (within 7 days) - Release patched version - Publish security advisory - Update security documentation - Review and improve security practices ## Contact Information - **Security Issues**: security@ice-locator-mcp.org - **General Questions**: GitHub Discussions - **Project Maintainer**: @trose --- Thank you for helping keep the ICE Locator MCP Server secure!
