Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in Terraform Analyzer, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities by:

  1. Email: Send details to core-devops@lftechnology.com
  2. GitHub Security Advisory: Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature
  3. Encrypted Communication: Use our PGP key for sensitive information

What to Include

When reporting a vulnerability, please include:

  • Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
  • Impact: Potential impact and attack scenarios
  • Reproduction: Step-by-step reproduction instructions
  • Environment: Affected versions and configurations
  • Proof of Concept: Code or screenshots (if applicable)
  • Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for remediation

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 24 hours
  • Vulnerability Assessment: Within 72 hours
  • Fix Development: 1-2 weeks (depending on severity)
  • Public Disclosure: After fix is released and users have time to update

Security Considerations

API Keys and Secrets

OpenAI API Keys:

  • Store securely in GitHub Secrets
  • Use environment variables, never hardcode
  • Rotate keys regularly
  • Monitor usage for anomalies

AWS Credentials:

  • Use OIDC/IAM roles instead of access keys
  • Follow principle of least privilege
  • Enable CloudTrail logging
  • Regular access reviews

Infracost API Keys:

  • Store in GitHub Secrets
  • Monitor usage limits
  • Rotate periodically

Infrastructure Security

Terraform State:

  • Use remote state with encryption
  • Enable state locking with DynamoDB
  • Restrict access to state files
  • Regular state backups

AWS Resources:

  • Follow AWS security best practices
  • Enable VPC flow logs
  • Use security groups restrictively
  • Enable AWS Config for compliance

Code Security

Dependencies:

  • Regular dependency updates
  • Vulnerability scanning with Dependabot
  • Pin dependency versions
  • Review third-party packages

AI Integration:

  • Sanitize inputs to OpenAI API
  • Validate AI-generated code before applying
  • Log AI interactions for audit
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse

GitHub Actions Security

Workflow Security:

  • Use pinned action versions
  • Minimize permissions (principle of least privilege)
  • Secure secrets handling
  • Environment protection rules

Repository Security:

  • Branch protection rules
  • Required status checks
  • Signed commits (recommended)
  • Regular access reviews

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Secrets Management

    # ✅ Good - Use GitHub Secrets
    openai-api-key: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}
    
    # ❌ Bad - Never hardcode secrets
    openai-api-key: "sk-1234567890abcdef"
  2. IAM Permissions

    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Action": [
            "s3:GetObject",
            "s3:PutObject"
          ],
          "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket/*"
        }
      ]
    }
  3. Network Security

    • Use private subnets for resources
    • Implement proper security groups
    • Enable VPC endpoints where applicable

For Contributors

  1. Code Review

    • Review all code changes for security implications
    • Check for hardcoded secrets or credentials
    • Validate input sanitization
  2. Testing

    • Test with minimal permissions
    • Validate error handling
    • Check for information disclosure
  3. Documentation

    • Document security considerations
    • Provide secure configuration examples
    • Update security guidelines

Vulnerability Disclosure Policy

Coordinated Disclosure

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

  1. Private Reporting: Initial report kept confidential
  2. Investigation: We investigate and develop fixes
  3. Coordination: Work with reporter on timeline
  4. Public Disclosure: After fix is available and deployed

Recognition

We acknowledge security researchers who responsibly report vulnerabilities:

  • Hall of Fame: Recognition in our security acknowledgments
  • CVE Assignment: For significant vulnerabilities
  • Coordination: Work together on public disclosure

Security Updates

Notification Channels

Stay informed about security updates:

  • GitHub Security Advisories: Automatic notifications
  • Release Notes: Security fixes highlighted
  • Email Notifications: For critical vulnerabilities

Update Process

When security updates are released:

  1. Review Release Notes: Understand the security impact
  2. Test in Non-Production: Validate fixes in safe environment
  3. Deploy Quickly: Apply security updates promptly
  4. Monitor: Watch for any issues after deployment

Compliance and Standards

Security Frameworks

We align with industry security standards:

  • OWASP Top 10: Web application security risks
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Risk management
  • CIS Controls: Critical security controls
  • AWS Security Best Practices: Cloud security guidelines

Audit and Monitoring

Regular security practices:

  • Dependency Scanning: Automated vulnerability detection
