ShadowWall AI is committed to maintaining the highest standards of security and ethical conduct. As a cybersecurity platform, we take security vulnerabilities seriously and appreciate the security research community's efforts to help us maintain a secure and trustworthy project.

We actively support security updates for the following versions:

We encourage responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. Please follow these steps:

• Email: yashabalam707@gmail.com
• Subject: [SECURITY] Vulnerability Report - ShadowWall AI
• PGP Key: Available on request for sensitive communications

Please include:

• Vulnerability Type: Classification (e.g., Authentication Bypass, SQL Injection, XSS)
• Affected Components: Specific modules, versions, or configurations
• Impact Assessment: Potential security impact and attack scenarios
• Proof of Concept: Steps to reproduce (without causing harm)
• Suggested Mitigation: Recommended fixes or workarounds
• Discoverer Information: Your name/organization for credit (if desired)

• 24 Hours: Acknowledgment of your report
• 72 Hours: Initial triage and severity assessment
• 1 Week: Detailed analysis and impact assessment
• 2-4 Weeks: Development and testing of fixes
• Coordinated Disclosure: Public disclosure timing agreement

We believe in recognizing security researchers who help improve our security:

Security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities will be:

• Listed in our Security Hall of Fame (with permission)
• Credited in release notes and security advisories
• Acknowledged on our website and social media
• Invited to participate in future security discussions

We are developing a bug bounty program with:

• Critical: $500 - $2,000
• High: $200 - $500
• Medium: $50 - $200
• Low: $25 - $50
• Informational: Recognition and credit

The following are considered in scope for security reporting:

• Authentication and authorization bypasses
• Remote code execution vulnerabilities
• SQL injection and database security issues
• Cross-site scripting (XSS) and CSRF vulnerabilities
• Privilege escalation vulnerabilities
• Information disclosure vulnerabilities

• API authentication and authorization flaws
• Rate limiting bypass
• Input validation vulnerabilities
• Data exposure through APIs

• Container and deployment security issues
• Configuration vulnerabilities
• Dependency vulnerabilities with exploitable impact

• Model poisoning or adversarial attacks
• Training data manipulation
• AI-specific security vulnerabilities

The following are generally NOT considered security vulnerabilities:

• Social Engineering: Attacks requiring social engineering
• Physical Access: Issues requiring physical access to hardware
• DoS Attacks: Simple denial of service without authentication bypass
• Self-XSS: Self-inflicted cross-site scripting
• Rate Limiting: Rate limiting on non-authentication endpoints
• Version Disclosure: Software version disclosure without exploitable vulnerability
• Missing Security Headers: Without demonstrable security impact
• Logout CSRF: CSRF on logout functionality

• Always download from official sources
• Verify checksums and signatures
• Use the latest supported version
• Follow security configuration guides

• Change default passwords and API keys
• Enable HTTPS/TLS encryption
• Configure proper access controls
• Regular security updates

• Monitor logs for suspicious activity
• Regular security assessments
• Backup and disaster recovery planning
• Security awareness training

• Follow secure coding practices
• Regular dependency updates
• Security testing integration
• Code review requirements

• Secure container configurations

We track and improve our security posture through:

• Mean time to detection (MTTD)
• Mean time to response (MTTR)
• Vulnerability remediation times
• Security test coverage metrics

For active security incidents:

• Critical Issues: Email with subject [URGENT SECURITY]
• Response Time: Within 2 hours during business hours
• Escalation: 24/7 on-call for critical security issues

1. Detection: Automated monitoring and manual reporting
2. Assessment: Impact and severity evaluation
3. Containment: Immediate threat mitigation
4. Investigation: Root cause analysis
5. Remediation: Permanent fix implementation
6. Recovery: Service restoration and validation
7. Lessons Learned: Process improvement and documentation
