You can report security issues through:

What to Include

Please include the following information in your report:

  • Type of vulnerability
  • Full paths of source file(s) related to the vulnerability
  • 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

Response Timeline

  • We will acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 48 hours

  • Once the vulnerability is fixed, we will publicly disclose it (with credit to you if desired)

Security Best Practices

When using MEGAGENT:

  1. API Keys: Never commit API keys to version control

    • Use environment variables or secure secret management
    • Rotate API keys regularly
    • Use the .env.example as a template
  2. Input Validation: The application includes input validation

    • All user inputs are sanitized
    • Query length limits are enforced (10,000 characters)
    • Dangerous patterns are detected and blocked
  3. Dependencies: Keep dependencies up to date

    • Run pip install -U -r requirements.txt regularly
    • Monitor for security advisories
  4. Permissions: Use the permission system appropriately

    • Grant minimal necessary permissions
    • Review permission grants regularly
    • Use read-only access when possible
  5. Database Security:

    • SQLite database is local by default
    • Ensure proper file permissions
    • Regular backups recommended
  6. Network Security:

    • Use HTTPS for all API communications
    • Validate SSL certificates
    • Consider using a VPN for sensitive operations

Known Security Considerations

API Key Storage

  • API keys are stored in environment variables or configuration files
  • Ensure these files have appropriate permissions (chmod 600)
  • Never share configuration files containing API keys

Data Privacy

  • Research results are cached locally
  • Query history is stored in the local database
  • Consider data retention policies for sensitive information

Third-Party Integrations

  • The application integrates with external AI platforms
  • Each platform has its own security and privacy policies
  • Review these policies before using sensitive data

Security Features

MEGAGENT includes several security features:

  1. Input Sanitization: Automatic removal of HTML tags and dangerous patterns
  2. Length Validation: Queries limited to 10,000 characters
  3. Pattern Detection: Detection and blocking of script injections
  4. Permission System: Granular access control (read, write, execute, admin, full)
  5. Logging: Comprehensive logging for security auditing

Compliance

MEGAGENT is designed with security best practices in mind, but compliance requirements may vary by jurisdiction and use case. Users are responsible for ensuring their use of MEGAGENT complies with applicable laws and regulations.
