We take the security of SoulSync AI seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us as described below.

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please send an email to your-email@example.com with:

• Type of vulnerability
• Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the vulnerability
• Location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
• Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
• Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
• Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
• Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

• You should receive a response within 48 hours acknowledging receipt of your report
• We will investigate and validate the vulnerability
• We will work on a fix and coordinate the disclosure timeline with you
• We will credit you in the security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

1. Rate Limiting: API endpoints are protected with rate limiting (100 requests per 15 minutes per IP)
2. Input Validation: All user inputs are sanitized and validated
3. Environment Variables: Sensitive data stored in environment variables, never in code
4. Error Handling: Generic error messages to prevent information disclosure
5. CORS Configuration: Properly configured CORS policies
6. Dependencies: Regular dependency audits and updates

1. API Keys: Never commit API keys or sensitive credentials to version control
2. Environment Files: Keep .env files private and add them to .gitignore
3. Updates: Keep dependencies updated with npm audit and npm update
4. HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production
5. Monitoring: Monitor application logs for suspicious activity

• All API keys are stored in environment variables
• .env file is not committed to git
• CORS is configured for production domain only
• Rate limiting is enabled
• HTTPS is enforced
• Dependencies are up to date (npm audit)
• Error messages don't expose sensitive information
• Input validation is implemented on all endpoints

The current rate limiting implementation uses in-memory storage. For production deployments with multiple servers, consider:

• Redis-based rate limiting
• Distributed rate limiting solutions
• Load balancer level rate limiting

Currently, the application is stateless. If you implement user sessions:

• Use secure session cookies
• Implement CSRF protection
• Use secure session storage

Security updates will be released as needed. Check the CHANGELOG for security-related updates.
