This repository is protected against malicious contributions through multiple layers of security:

• Main branch is protected: No direct pushes allowed
• Pull requests required: All changes must go through PR review
• Code owner reviews: Critical files require owner approval
• No force pushes: History cannot be rewritten
• No deletions: Branch cannot be deleted

Protected directories and files that require owner approval:

• /.github/ - All GitHub configurations
• /src/core/ - Core system files
• /src/orchestrator/ - Critical orchestration logic
• /.claude/ - Agent configurations
• /config/ - System configurations
• Root configuration files

• Dependency vulnerability scanning
• Code security analysis
• Sensitive data detection
• Large file deletion prevention

• Create public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities
• Share vulnerability details in discussions or comments
• Attempt to exploit vulnerabilities

1. Email privately: vibephilcoding@gmail.com
2. Include:
   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if any)
3. Wait for response: We'll acknowledge within 48 hours

• API keys or tokens
• Passwords or credentials
• Private keys or certificates
• .env files with real values
• Personal information
• Internal URLs or endpoints

• Review your code for sensitive data before committing
• Use environment variables for configuration
• Keep dependencies up to date
• Report suspicious code or behavior
• Follow secure coding practices

• File deletions: Large-scale file removals are flagged
• Dependency changes: New or modified dependencies are reviewed
• Permission changes: File permission modifications are tracked
• Binary files: Binary additions are scrutinized
• External calls: Network requests to external services

• Changes to security-related code
• Modifications to validation logic
• Updates to authentication/authorization
• Changes to data handling
• Modifications to build or deploy scripts

The following patterns may indicate malicious intent:

• Deleting multiple core files
• Adding obfuscated or minified code
• Modifying security validations
• Adding suspicious dependencies
• Changing GitHub Actions workflows
• Attempting to modify CODEOWNERS

• Large binary file additions
• Extensive permission changes
• Adding external scripts
• Modifying build processes
• Changing test configurations

• PRs that delete >30% of codebase
• PRs with detected malware patterns
• PRs with known vulnerable dependencies
• PRs attempting to bypass protections

Before merging any PR:

• No sensitive data exposed
• No suspicious dependencies added
• No security features disabled
• No unexplained large deletions
• All tests pass
• Code review completed
• No obfuscated code
• Changes align with PR description

• Owner: Full access (VibeCodingWithPhil)
• Maintainers: Write access with restrictions
• Contributors: Fork and PR only
• Public: Read-only access

• Production deployments
• Security configurations
• CI/CD pipelines
• Secret management
• Database access

We track:

• Time to patch vulnerabilities
• Number of security issues found
• PR rejection rate for security reasons
• Dependency update frequency
• Security training completion

If a security incident occurs:

1. Immediate Actions:

   • Revert malicious changes
   • Lock affected branches
   • Disable compromised access
   • Document the incident

2. Investigation:

   • Identify scope of impact
   • Determine root cause
   • Collect evidence
   • Review logs

3. Recovery:

   • Fix vulnerabilities
   • Restore from backups if needed
   • Update security measures
   • Communicate with affected users

4. Post-Incident:

   • Conduct review meeting
   • Update security policies
   • Implement preventive measures
   • Share lessons learned

• GitHub Security Best Practices
• OWASP Top 10
• CWE Top 25
• Node.js Security Best Practices

Complete security audit and remediation completed:

• ✅ Command Injection Prevention - Replaced all shell command executions with secure Node.js methods (ImportHandler.ts)
• ✅ Path Traversal Protection - Added comprehensive path validation to prevent directory traversal attacks (MonitorCommand.ts, GlobalMonitorInstaller.ts)
• ✅ Process Spawning Security - Secured all subprocess executions with proper validation and containment (index.ts)
• ✅ Network Security Hardening - CORS configuration now restricted to local origins only (SharedContextServer.ts)
• ✅ Input Validation Framework - Implemented comprehensive input sanitization system (InputValidator.ts)

• ✅ Removed unauthorized HTTP-Referer headers from OpenRouter API calls (src/models/LocalModelSupport.ts)
• ✅ No backdoors or unauthorized network calls detected in comprehensive codebase scan
• ✅ All background services verified to operate locally only (localhost:3001-3003)
• ✅ Analytics confirmed local-only - no external data transmission

• Comprehensive InputValidator class with pattern matching
• SQL injection prevention
• XSS attack prevention
• Path injection blocking
• Command injection prevention
• Dangerous pattern detection

• All exec() calls replaced with secure alternatives
• Process spawning now uses validation and timeouts
• Working directory containment enforced
• Script execution validation before running

• Path traversal prevention in all file operations
• Symbolic link detection and blocking
• Project boundary enforcement
• Safe file permission management

• Complete network call analysis across entire codebase
• Background service and process verification
• Command execution security review
• Path validation implementation
• Input sanitization framework
• CORS and network configuration
• File system access permission validation

• All network calls documented and legitimate
• Local-only monitoring services (ports 3001-3003)
• Optional analytics stored locally in ~/.agentwise/analytics/
• No data transmission to external servers
• Complete source code available for inspection
• All security fixes documented in commits

Status: ✅ SECURE - All critical and high-severity issues resolved.
