We take security seriously for all components of the Spacecraft VMS. Currently supported versions:

IMPORTANT: Do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

For mission-critical and safety-related vulnerabilities, please follow this process:

If you discover a vulnerability that could:

• Compromise spacecraft safety
• Lead to mission failure
• Expose sensitive mission data
• Allow unauthorized access to spacecraft systems

Please report immediately via:

• Email: security@spacecraft-vms.org (if available)
• Private GitHub Security Advisory
• Direct message to maintainers

For other security concerns:

• Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting
• Provide detailed reproduction steps
• Include potential impact assessment

• Critical vulnerabilities: Response within 24 hours
• High severity: Response within 72 hours
• Medium/Low severity: Response within 1 week

• Remote code execution
• Privilege escalation in flight software
• Safety system bypass
• Mission data exposure

• Local privilege escalation
• Information disclosure
• Denial of service affecting critical systems

• Cross-site scripting in ground tools
• Information leakage (non-critical)
• Local denial of service

• Minor information disclosure
• Non-exploitable bugs with security implications

• Static analysis integrated in CI/CD
• Dependency vulnerability scanning
• Code review required for all changes
• Automated security testing

• Secure boot implementation
• Encrypted communications
• Access control and authentication
• Regular security updates

• Runtime security monitoring
• Anomaly detection
• Security event logging
• Incident response procedures

• Use secure coding practices
• Validate all inputs
• Handle errors securely
• Avoid hardcoded secrets
• Use parameterized queries
• Implement proper authentication

• Keep systems updated
• Use strong authentication
• Monitor security logs
• Follow principle of least privilege
• Regular security assessments

We believe in coordinated vulnerability disclosure:

1. Report the vulnerability privately
2. Allow reasonable time for fixes
3. Coordinate public disclosure timing
4. Credit security researchers appropriately

We use these tools for security assurance:

• Static Analysis: CodeQL, Semgrep, cppcheck
• Dependency Scanning: Dependabot, Trivy
• Runtime Protection: AddressSanitizer, Valgrind
• Fuzzing: AFL++, libFuzzer
