DO NOT create a public issue for security vulnerabilities!

If you discover a security vulnerability in ImageOSINT, please email security@example.com with:

1. Description of the vulnerability
2. Steps to reproduce the issue
3. Impact assessment (what could an attacker do)
4. Suggested fixes (if you have any)
5. Your contact information for follow-up

We will respond to security reports within 48 hours and work with you to:

• Understand the issue
• Develop and test a fix
• Prepare a security advisory
• Coordinate the vulnerability disclosure

1. Keep Software Updated

   • Regularly update ImageOSINT
   • Update Docker images
   • Update Python dependencies

2. Secure Configuration

   • Change default passwords
   • Use strong JWT secrets
   • Configure proper CORS origins
   • Enable HTTPS in production

3. Access Control

   • Use strong, unique passwords
   • Implement rate limiting
   • Monitor access logs
   • Use API keys for programmatic access

4. Data Protection

   • Enable database encryption
   • Use HTTPS/TLS
   • Securely backup data
   • Encrypt sensitive data at rest

1. Code Security

   # ✅ DO: Use parameterized queries
   from sqlalchemy import text
   result = db.execute(text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id"), {"id": user_id})
   
   # ❌ DON'T: Use string concatenation
   result = db.execute(f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}")

2. Authentication

   # ✅ DO: Hash passwords with bcrypt
   from passlib.context import CryptContext
   pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"])
   hashed = pwd_context.hash(password)
   
   # ❌ DON'T: Store plain text passwords
   db.save(plain_password)

3. Input Validation

   # ✅ DO: Validate with Pydantic
   from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr
   
   class User(BaseModel):
       email: EmailStr
       username: str
   
   # ❌ DON'T: Trust user input
   email = request.form.get("email")

4. Error Handling

   # ✅ DO: Don't expose internal details
   raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="Invalid request")
   
   # ❌ DON'T: Expose stack traces
   raise Exception(f"Database error: {exc}")

5. Secrets Management

   # ✅ DO: Use environment variables
   import os
   secret = os.getenv("JWT_SECRET")
   
   # ❌ DON'T: Hardcode secrets
   secret = "hardcoded_secret_key"

None currently known. If you find one, please report it using the process above.
