AIA (Autonomous Incident Agent) takes security seriously. This document outlines our security practices, vulnerability reporting process, and security considerations for deployment.

• Clerk Authentication - Industry-standard OAuth2/OIDC
• Session Management - Secure, httpOnly cookies
• Multi-tenancy - User isolation at database level
• API Key Encryption - Project credentials encrypted at rest

• Encryption at Rest - Database credentials encrypted
• Encryption in Transit - HTTPS/TLS required in production
• Credential Isolation - Per-project API keys stored securely
• No Credential Logging - Sensitive data excluded from logs

• Docker Isolation - Containerized services with network isolation
• Health Checks - Automated service monitoring
• Restart Policies - Automatic recovery from failures
• Resource Limits - Prevent resource exhaustion attacks

• CORS Configuration - Strict origin policies
• Input Validation - All inputs sanitized
• Rate Limiting - Protection against abuse (recommended)
• Error Handling - No sensitive data in error messages

• Change all default passwords

  # Generate secure passwords
  openssl rand -base64 32

• Enable HTTPS/TLS

  • Use Let's Encrypt or commercial SSL certificate
  • Configure reverse proxy (nginx/Caddy)
  • Enforce HTTPS redirects

• Configure Firewall

  # Only expose necessary ports
  - 443 (HTTPS)
  - 4318 (OTel - from trusted sources only)

• Set up Environment Variables Securely

  • Never commit .env.production to git
  • Use secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault)
  • Rotate credentials regularly

• Database Security

  • Use strong passwords (32+ characters)
  • Enable SSL/TLS for database connections
  • Restrict database access to application network only
  • Regular backups with encryption

• R2/Storage Security

  • Use IAM roles with minimal permissions
  • Enable bucket versioning
  • Configure CORS restrictively
  • Enable access logging

• Enable Security Headers

  # Add to nginx/reverse proxy
  add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
  add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
  add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
  add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains";
  add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'";

• Rate Limiting

  # Example nginx rate limiting
  limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=api:10m rate=10r/s;
  limit_req zone=api burst=20 nodelay;

• Monitoring & Alerting

  • Set up error tracking (Sentry)
  • Configure uptime monitoring
  • Enable audit logging
  • Alert on suspicious activities

• Backup Strategy

  • Automated daily database backups
  • Test restore procedures
  • Off-site backup storage
  • Encryption for backup files

• Security Audit

  • Review all exposed endpoints
  • Test authentication flows
  • Verify credential isolation
  • Check for information disclosure

• Penetration Testing

  • Test for common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)
  • Verify input validation
  • Test rate limiting
  • Check session management

• Dependency Scanning

  # Run dependency audit
  bun audit
  npm audit

• Log Review

  • Monitor for failed authentication attempts
  • Check for unusual API usage patterns
  • Review error rates
  • Audit database access

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

1. DO NOT open a public GitHub issue
2. Email security details to: security@yourdomain.com (replace with actual email)
3. Include:
   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if any)

• 24 hours: Initial acknowledgment
• 72 hours: Preliminary assessment
• 7 days: Detailed response with timeline
• 30 days: Fix deployed (for critical issues)

• We follow responsible disclosure practices
• Security fixes are prioritized
• Public disclosure after fix is deployed
• Credit given to reporters (unless requested otherwise)

• Project API keys are stored encrypted in the database
• Encryption key must be securely managed
• Consider using external secrets management in production

• Port 4318 receives telemetry from user applications
• Implement network-level restrictions
• Consider mutual TLS for production

• Users provide their own API keys
• Implement usage monitoring to prevent abuse
• Consider rate limiting per project

• Snapshots may contain sensitive code
• Ensure R2 bucket is private
• Implement retention policies
• Consider encryption for snapshots

• PDF reports may contain sensitive information
• Ensure proper access controls
• Consider watermarking
• Implement download logging

1. Protect Your API Keys

   • Never commit API keys to git
   • Rotate keys regularly
   • Use separate keys for dev/prod

2. Monitor Your Projects

   • Review incident reports regularly
   • Check for unusual activity
   • Audit AI API usage

3. Secure Your Repository

   • Use GitHub's security features
   • Enable branch protection
   • Review dependency alerts

1. Code Review

   • Review all changes before deployment
   • Check for hardcoded credentials
   • Validate input handling

2. Dependency Management

   • Keep dependencies updated
   • Review security advisories
   • Use lock files

3. Testing

   • Test authentication flows
   • Verify authorization checks
   • Test error handling

• User data is isolated per account
• No cross-tenant data access
• Audit logging for compliance
• Data retention policies configurable

• User data can be exported
• Account deletion supported
• Data processing documented
• Privacy policy required

Security updates are released as needed:

• Critical: Immediate patch release
• High: Within 7 days
• Medium: Next minor version
• Low: Next major version

• OWASP Top 10
• Docker Security Best Practices
• PostgreSQL Security
• Cloudflare R2 Security
