πŸ” Security Policy

πŸ›‘οΈ Software Security Practices

This repository is maintained as part of Heliobright's commitment to
secure-by-default infrastructure design. We follow best practices for
infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security and apply automated scanning tools to
ensure code and configuration safety.

βœ… Continuous Security Tools

We utilize the following tools as part of our continuous validation pipeline:

  • Super-Linter: Scans for
    errors and bad practices across:
    • terraform, markdown, yaml, github_actions, and more.
  • Checkov: Validates Terraform security misconfigurations and compliance against AWS best practices.
  • TFLint and Terraform FMT: Enforce consistent, error-free
    Terraform formatting and linting.
  • Terrascan: Scans for violations against known security policies in IaC
    templates.
  • Secret scanning and code scanning: Enabled via GitHub security settings.

Security scanning is executed automatically via GitHub Actions for every PR
to main and on a scheduled weekly basis.


πŸ“¦ Supported Versions

We provide security support for the latest version of the main branch only:

πŸ“’ Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security seriously and welcome reports from the community.

If you discover a potential vulnerability:

  • Where to report:
    Open a GitHub security advisory to initiate a private discussion with the maintainers.
  • What to include:
    • Provide a clear description
      of the issue
    • Affected modules or files
    • Reproduction steps, if applicable

We will acknowledge receipt within 3 business days, triage the report,
and work with you on coordinated disclosure if required.


🀝 Coordinated Disclosure Policy

We adhere to coordinated disclosure practices. If the vulnerability impacts
downstream consumers, we will collaborate on a responsible communication and
remediation timeline prior to public disclosure.
