Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via email to security@yourcompany.com.

You should receive a response within 48 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up via email to ensure we received your original message.

Please include the following information:

  • Type of issue (e.g. buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
  • Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
  • The 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

Security Best Practices

When deploying Snapshot Sleuth:

AWS Security

  1. Enable encryption at rest for all S3 buckets using KMS
  2. Use IAM roles with least-privilege permissions
  3. Enable CloudTrail for audit logging
  4. Use VPC endpoints for private communication
  5. Enable MFA for AWS account access

Application Security

  1. Rotate credentials regularly (GitHub tokens, API keys, etc.)
  2. Use AWS Secrets Manager for sensitive configuration
  3. Enable SSL/TLS for all external communications
  4. Validate all inputs from external sources
  5. Scan dependencies for known vulnerabilities

Network Security

  1. Isolate analysis environments in dedicated VPCs
  2. Use security groups to restrict network access
  3. Enable VPC Flow Logs for network monitoring
  4. Use private subnets for Lambda functions
  5. Implement network ACLs for defense in depth

Data Security

  1. Encrypt evidence before uploading to S3
  2. Use versioning on S3 buckets to prevent data loss
  3. Implement lifecycle policies for data retention
  4. Enable access logging on S3 buckets
  5. Use signed URLs for temporary access

Operational Security

  1. Monitor CloudWatch for suspicious activity
  2. Set up alarms for security events
  3. Review audit logs regularly
  4. Keep dependencies updated with security patches
  5. Perform regular security assessments

Known Security Considerations

Snapshot Access

  • Ensure proper IAM permissions are in place before sharing snapshots
  • Snapshots may contain sensitive data - handle with appropriate controls
  • Always use KMS encryption for snapshots containing regulated data

Lambda Execution

  • Lambda functions run with specific IAM roles - review regularly
  • Cold starts may introduce timing vulnerabilities
  • Monitor Lambda invocation patterns for anomalies

External Integrations

  • GitHub tokens provide access to repositories - rotate regularly
  • Slack webhooks can be intercepted - use HTTPS only
  • Third-party adapters should be audited before deployment

Compliance

Snapshot Sleuth is designed to support compliance with:

  • SOC 2
  • ISO 27001
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  • GDPR (with proper configuration)

Consult with your compliance team before deploying in regulated environments.
