Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

If you discover a security vulnerability in ZoneweaverAPI, please report it responsibly:

Preferred Method: Security Advisory

1. Go to the GitHub Security Advisory page
2. Click “Report a vulnerability”
3. Fill out the advisory form with detailed information
4. Submit the advisory

What to Include

Please provide as much information as possible:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact of the vulnerability
• Affected versions (if known)
• Suggested fix (if you have one)
• Your contact information for follow-up questions

Response Process

Due to limited development resources, please understand that:

• Initial Response: We aim to acknowledge receipt within 48-72 hours
• Assessment: Initial assessment will be completed within 1 week
• Resolution: Timeline depends on severity and complexity, typically 1-4 weeks
• Disclosure: Coordinated disclosure after fix is available

Severity Levels

• Critical: Immediate attention (RCE, privilege escalation)
• High: Quick response needed (authentication bypass, data exposure)
• Medium: Standard timeline (DoS, information disclosure)
• Low: Lower priority (minor information leaks)

Security Considerations for ZoneweaverAPI

Given that ZoneweaverAPI manages system-level operations on OmniOS, please pay special attention to:

High-Risk Areas

• API Key Authentication: Bypasses or privilege escalation
• Zone Management: Unauthorized zone creation/modification/deletion
• File System Operations: Path traversal or unauthorized file access
• Command Execution: Any potential for command injection
• Network Operations: Unauthorized network configuration changes

Configuration Security

• Default Configurations: Insecure defaults
• SSL/TLS Implementation: Certificate validation, cipher suites
• CORS Configuration: Origin validation bypasses
• Database Security: SQL injection, unauthorized access

Best Practices for Users

To maintain security:

1. Keep Updated: Always run the latest stable version
2. Secure Configuration: Follow the security configuration guide
3. API Key Management: Rotate API keys regularly, use strong keys
4. Network Security: Use HTTPS, restrict network access appropriately
5. Monitor Logs: Watch for suspicious activity in application logs

Security Features

ZoneweaverAPI includes several security features:

• API Key Authentication: Bcrypt-hashed keys with configurable rounds
• CORS Protection: Whitelist-based origin validation
• SSL/TLS Support: Configurable HTTPS with custom certificates
• Input Validation: Parameter validation and sanitization
• Audit Logging: API key usage tracking

Acknowledgments

We appreciate the security research community’s efforts in making ZoneweaverAPI more secure. Responsible disclosure helps protect all users.
