Reporting a Vulnerability

We take the security of CodexContinue seriously. If you believe you've found a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

  1. Do not disclose the vulnerability publicly until it has been addressed by the maintainers.
  2. Submit a report by creating a new issue labeled "Security" in the repository, or contact the maintainers directly via email at [[email protected]].
  3. Provide details about the vulnerability, including:
    • Description of the issue
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fixes (if any)

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgment: We aim to acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 48 hours.
  • Updates: You'll receive updates on the progress of fixing the vulnerability within 7 days of the initial report.
  • Resolution: Once resolved, we'll notify you and publicly acknowledge your contribution (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).

Security Best Practices for Users

When using CodexContinue, please follow these security best practices:

  1. Keep Dependencies Updated: Regularly update all dependencies and components to their latest secure versions.
  2. API Security: When exposing the transcription API, ensure proper authentication and authorization mechanisms are in place.
  3. Content Processing: Be mindful of the content being processed for transcription. The system should not be used to transcribe sensitive or confidential information without proper security measures.
  4. Model Security: If using custom ML models, ensure they are from trusted sources and have been vetted for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Data Storage: Implement proper encryption and access controls for any transcribed data stored by the system.

Security Features

CodexContinue implements several security measures:

  • Input validation for YouTube URLs
  • Secure handling of temporary files during transcription
  • Proper error handling to prevent information disclosure
  • Controlled execution of external dependencies (e.g., ffmpeg)

Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline

Our standard vulnerability disclosure timeline is as follows:

  1. Day 0: Vulnerability reported
  2. Day 2: Acknowledgment of report
  3. Day 7-14: Issue assessed and fix developed
  4. Day 21-30: Fix released
  5. Day 45-60: Public disclosure (after fix has been widely deployed)

This timeline may be adjusted based on the severity of the vulnerability and other factors.
