Security researchers who report vulnerabilities responsibly will:

• Receive public credit (if desired)
• Get notification of patch release
• Be added to our security researchers hall of fame

• ✅ All user input validation with Zod schemas
• ✅ SQL injection protection with parameterized queries
• ✅ XSS protection with content sanitization
• ✅ CSRF protection with tokens
• ✅ Rate limiting to prevent DDoS attacks
• ✅ Security headers (HSTS, CSP, etc.)
• ✅ Input length limitations
• ✅ File upload restrictions and validation

• ✅ Authentication required for all sensitive endpoints
• ✅ API key rotation and management
• ✅ Request validation and sanitization
• ✅ Response data filtering
• ✅ Error message sanitization (no internal data leakage)
• ✅ Logging and monitoring of all API requests

• ✅ Environment variables for all secrets (.env)
• ✅ API keys never logged or exposed in responses
• ✅ User data anonymization where possible
• ✅ No sensitive data in client-side code
• ✅ HTTPS enforcement for all communications
• ✅ Database encryption at rest
• ✅ Regular backup encryption

• ✅ Regular dependency updates
• ✅ Security scanning of all dependencies
• ✅ Container security best practices
• ✅ Network security and firewall configuration
• ✅ Regular security audits and penetration testing

Environment Variables:

# NEVER commit these to Git
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=your-service-key
SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co

# Always use .env files and add to .gitignore
echo ".env" >> .gitignore

Code Security:

// Always validate input
const schema = z.object({
  question: z.string().min(1).max(1000),
  userId: z.string().uuid(),
});

// Use parameterized queries
const result = await supabase
  .from('documents')
  .select('*')
  .eq('id', userId); // Safe from SQL injection

• Always use the latest version of EAA ChatBot
• Report suspicious behavior immediately
• Don't share your API keys or credentials
• Use strong passwords for your accounts
• Enable two-factor authentication where available

Production Deployment:

# Set secure environment
NODE_ENV=production

# Use HTTPS only
FORCE_HTTPS=true

# Set security headers
SECURITY_HEADERS=true

# Enable rate limiting
RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=true

Monitoring:

• Enable application logging
• Set up security event alerts
• Monitor for unusual traffic patterns
• Regular security scans and updates

The following are NOT considered security vulnerabilities:

• Lack of features (feature requests go to regular issues)
• Issues in dependencies (report to dependency maintainers first)
• Social engineering attacks
• Spam or abuse of the service
• Performance issues not related to security
• Issues in third-party integrations (OpenAI, Supabase)

Before each release, we verify:

• All dependencies updated to latest secure versions
• No secrets or API keys in code
• All user inputs validated and sanitized
• Security headers properly configured
• Rate limiting enabled and tested
• Error messages don't leak sensitive information
• Database queries use parameterized statements
• Authentication and authorization working correctly
• Logging configured without sensitive data
• HTTPS enforced everywhere

We regularly:

• Monitor security advisories for our dependencies
• Update packages with known vulnerabilities
• Perform security audits of our codebase
• Test our security measures with automated tools
• Review and update this security policy
