Reporting a Vulnerability

The Tactical Command Hub team takes security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

1. DO NOT create a public issue

Security vulnerabilities should not be disclosed publicly until they have been addressed.

2. Email the security team

Send details to: security@tacticalcommand-hub.com

Include the following information:

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Potential impact assessment
  • Any suggested fixes or mitigations
  • Your contact information

3. Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Vulnerability Assessment: Within 5 business days
  • Fix Development: Timeline varies based on complexity
  • Security Update Release: As soon as possible after fix verification

4. Disclosure Process

  1. We will work with you to understand and validate the vulnerability
  2. We will develop and test a fix
  3. We will prepare a security advisory
  4. We will release the security update
  5. We will publicly acknowledge your responsible disclosure (with your permission)

Security Best Practices

For Users

  • Keep your installation updated to the latest version
  • Use strong, unique passwords
  • Enable multi-factor authentication when available
  • Regularly review access logs
  • Follow principle of least privilege for user accounts

For Developers

  • Review security guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
  • Validate all input data
  • Implement proper authentication and authorization
  • Keep dependencies updated
  • Run security scans regularly

Security Features

Authentication & Authorization

  • JWT-based authentication
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Secure password hashing
  • Session management

Data Protection

  • Input validation and sanitization
  • SQL injection prevention
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS) protection
  • Secure configuration defaults

Infrastructure Security

  • Docker container security
  • Database connection security
  • TLS/HTTPS enforcement (in production)
  • Environment variable protection

Known Security Considerations

Development Environment

  • Default configurations are not production-ready
  • Development mode may expose debug information
  • Test data should not contain real sensitive information

Production Deployment

  • Ensure HTTPS/TLS is properly configured
  • Use production-grade secrets management
  • Enable security monitoring and logging
  • Regular security assessments recommended

Security Testing

We employ various security testing methods:

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning
  • Container security scanning
  • Regular security code reviews

Third-Party Dependencies

We regularly monitor and update third-party dependencies for security vulnerabilities:

  • Maven dependency scanning
  • Automated security updates for non-breaking changes
  • Regular manual review of dependency security advisories

Incident Response

In the event of a security incident:

  1. Immediate assessment and containment
  2. Impact analysis and user notification
  3. Fix development and deployment
  4. Post-incident review and documentation
  5. Process improvement implementation
