We actively support the following versions with security updates:

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

DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security issues privately to:

• Email: security@hardware-intelligence.dev
• Subject: [SECURITY] Brief description of the vulnerability

Please include the following information:

• Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
• Impact: Potential impact and attack scenarios
• Reproduction: Step-by-step instructions to reproduce
• Environment: Hardware, software versions, and configuration
• Proof of Concept: If applicable (be responsible)
• Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for mitigation

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Assessment: Within 1 week
• Fix Development: Depends on severity and complexity
• Public Disclosure: After fix is available

We appreciate security researchers and will:

• Acknowledge your contribution (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
• Provide credit in release notes and security advisories
• Consider responsible disclosure bounties for significant findings

• Secure Boot: Guidelines for implementing secure boot processes
• Encryption: Data encryption at rest and in transit
• Key Management: Secure storage and management of cryptographic keys
• OTA Security: Secure over-the-air update mechanisms

• Input Validation: All inputs are validated and sanitized
• Memory Safety: Use of memory-safe coding practices
• Code Review: All code changes undergo security review
• Static Analysis: Automated security scanning in CI/CD

• TLS/SSL: Encrypted communications
• Authentication: Strong authentication mechanisms
• Authorization: Proper access control implementation
• Network Isolation: Segmentation of network traffic

• Keep firmware updated to the latest version
• Use strong authentication credentials
• Enable encryption for sensitive data
• Regularly review and audit device configurations
• Monitor for suspicious activity

• Follow secure coding guidelines
• Use static analysis tools

The following are generally considered out of scope for security reports:

• Issues requiring physical access to devices
• Social engineering attacks
• Brute force attacks without novel techniques
• Issues in third-party dependencies (report to upstream)
• Theoretical attacks without practical exploitation

• Security Team: security@hardware-intelligence.dev
• General Contact: maintainers@hardware-intelligence.dev
• GitHub: Create a private security advisory

By reporting security vulnerabilities, you agree to:

• Not publicly disclose the issue until we've had a chance to address it
• Not access or modify data that doesn't belong to you
• Act in good faith and avoid privacy violations
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations

We commit to:

• Respond promptly to your report
• Keep you updated on our progress
• Give credit where appropriate
• Not pursue legal action for good faith security research

Thank you for helping keep Hardware Intelligence Agent secure! 🛡️
