We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

Security vulnerabilities should be reported privately to avoid potential exploitation.

Discord

Include the following information:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce
• Potential impact
• Suggested fix (if any)

• Initial response: Within 48 hours
• Status update: Within 1 week
• Resolution: As soon as possible, typically within 30 days

Once the vulnerability is fixed, we will:

• Release a security patch
• Update the changelog
• Credit the reporter (if desired)

• Never commit sensitive information (API keys, passwords, etc.)
• Use environment variables for configuration
• Follow secure coding practices
• Keep dependencies updated
• Review code for security issues

• Never include API keys or credentials in your submissions
• Use placeholder values for sensitive data
• Follow the course's security guidelines
• Report any security concerns to instructors

• Regularly audit dependencies for vulnerabilities
• Monitor for suspicious activity
• Keep all systems updated
• Implement proper access controls

This project uses several security tools:

• Bandit: Python security linter
• Safety: Dependency vulnerability scanner
• GitHub Security Advisories: Automated vulnerability detection

• Code review process includes security considerations
• Regular security audits of the codebase
• Dependency vulnerability assessments

Never commit these to version control:

# API Keys
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here

# Database credentials
DB_PASSWORD=your_password_here

# Other sensitive data
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_here

• Use .env files for local development
• Use GitHub Secrets for CI/CD
• Use secure storage for production credentials

1. Detection: Identify and confirm the security incident
2. Assessment: Evaluate the scope and impact
3. Containment: Prevent further damage
4. Eradication: Remove the threat
5. Recovery: Restore normal operations
6. Lessons Learned: Document and improve
