We release patches for security vulnerabilities. Currently supported versions:

Note: As we are currently in pre-release (Phase 0), there are no production versions yet. This policy will be enforced starting with v1.0.0.

The Design System Framework team takes security bugs seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings, and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

To report a security vulnerability, please use one of the following methods:

Preferred: Email us at security@uxvision.pro

Please include the following information:

• Type of issue (e.g., buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
• Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
• The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
• Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
• Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
• Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
• Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

What to expect:

1. Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 48 hours
2. Communication: We will send you regular updates about our progress
3. Verification: We will work to verify the vulnerability and determine its impact
4. Resolution: We will work on a fix and determine a release timeline
5. Disclosure: We will coordinate with you on public disclosure timing

• Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
• Do not share the vulnerability with others until it has been fixed
• Do not exploit the vulnerability beyond what is necessary to demonstrate it

1. Triage: Security team reviews and triages the report (1-2 days)
2. Investigation: Team investigates and confirms the vulnerability (2-5 days)
3. Development: Team develops and tests a fix (varies by severity)
4. Review: Security fix undergoes thorough code review
5. Release: Security patch is released with security advisory
6. Disclosure: 7-14 days after patch release, full details are disclosed

We use the following severity levels to prioritize security issues:

• Remote code execution
• Authentication bypass
• Data breach of sensitive information
• Response time: 24-48 hours
• Fix target: 1-3 days

• Privilege escalation
• SQL injection
• Cross-site scripting (XSS) with significant impact
• Response time: 2-3 days
• Fix target: 1 week

• Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
• Information disclosure
• Denial of service (DoS)
• Response time: 3-5 days
• Fix target: 2 weeks

• Minor information disclosure
• Issues with limited impact
• Response time: 1 week
• Fix target: Next minor release

When contributing to this project, please follow these security best practices:

1. Input Validation

   • Always validate and sanitize user inputs
   • Use TypeScript types to enforce data structures
   • Never trust client-side validation alone

2. Authentication & Authorization

   • Use secure authentication mechanisms
   • Implement proper session management
   • Follow the principle of least privilege

3. Data Protection

   • Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
   • Use HTTPS everywhere
   • Never commit secrets or credentials to the repository

4. Dependencies

   • Keep dependencies up to date
   • Review dependency security advisories
   • Use npm audit or pnpm audit regularly
   • Pin dependency versions in production

5. Error Handling

   • Don't expose sensitive information in error messages
   • Log errors securely
   • Provide generic error messages to users

// ✅ Good: Sanitize user input
import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';

const sanitizedInput = DOMPurify.sanitize(userInput);

// ❌ Bad: Using unsanitized input
element.innerHTML = userInput;

// ✅ Good: Use parameterized queries
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId]);

// ❌ Bad: String concatenation in queries
const user = await db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`);

// ✅ Good: Validate file types
const allowedTypes = ['image/png', 'image/jpeg'];
if (!allowedTypes.includes(file.type)) {
  throw new Error('Invalid file type');
}

// ❌ Bad: Trust file extension
if (!file.name.endsWith('.jpg')) {
  throw new Error('Invalid file');
}

• Content Security Policy (CSP): Strict CSP headers to prevent XSS
• HTTPS Only: All connections use TLS 1.3+
• Dependency Scanning: Automated dependency vulnerability scanning
• Code Analysis: Static code analysis with ESLint security plugins
• Input Sanitization: All user inputs are sanitized (DOMPurify)
• Type Safety: TypeScript strict mode for type safety

• Two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Rate limiting
• API key management
• Audit logging
• Security headers automation
• Automated security testing in CI/CD

We use the following tools to maintain security:

• Dependabot: Automated dependency updates
• npm audit / pnpm audit: Dependency vulnerability scanning
• ESLint: Static code analysis with security rules
• Snyk: Continuous security monitoring (planned)
• GitHub Security Advisories: Vulnerability tracking

We believe in coordinated disclosure:

1. Private Disclosure: Report sent to security team
2. Acknowledgment: Team acknowledges within 48 hours
3. Investigation: Team investigates and develops fix
4. Patch Release: Security patch released
5. Public Disclosure: After 7-14 days, full details published
6. Credit: Reporter credited in security advisory (if desired)

We appreciate security researchers who help us keep our project secure. With your permission, we will:

• Credit you in our security advisories
• List you in our Hall of Fame (coming soon)
• Provide a reference/recommendation upon request

For security concerns, contact us at:

• Email: security@uxvision.pro
• PGP Key: Available upon request

For general questions about this policy, open a GitHub Discussion or contact us at contact@uxvision.pro.

Thank you for helping keep Design System Framework and our users safe!
