Security Policy

Purpose

This Security Policy sets guidelines and expectations for identifying, reporting, and managing security vulnerabilities in this sandbox environment repository. Please note that this repository is intended for testing, experimentation, and learning purposes, and may contain code or configurations that are not production-grade.

Scope

This policy applies to all users, contributors, and maintainers of this repository. Security concerns related to this repository, such as vulnerabilities in the codebase, should be managed and reported as described below.

Understanding the Sandbox Environment

A sandbox environment is designed for experimentation and non-critical testing. The following should be noted:

• Limited Guarantees: Code and configurations in this repository may not have undergone rigorous security reviews or compliance checks.

• No Production Usage: Contents of this repository should not be used in production environments without thorough evaluation and modifications.

• Default Permissions: Default repository permissions may be relaxed to encourage contributions. Please avoid sharing sensitive information.

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you identify a security vulnerability in this repository:

  1. Do Not Create Public Issues: To avoid exposing the vulnerability, please avoid reporting it via GitHub Issues or in any public forums.

  2. Provide Detailed Information: Include as much information as possible in your report, such as:

• Description of the vulnerability

• Steps to reproduce the issue

• Potential impact or risk

• Suggested remediation (if any)

Fixing Security Vulnerabilities

Once a vulnerability is reported:

  1. The maintainers will assess and prioritize the issue based on its impact and likelihood.

  2. A private branch or fork may be created to develop and test a fix.

  3. Once remediated, the solution will be documented, and any necessary updates or patches will be applied.

Best Practices in the Sandbox

To reduce security risks:

• Avoid including sensitive data (e.g., tokens, passwords, API keys) in code or configuration files.

• Use only non-production data when testing.

• Periodically review and remove unnecessary dependencies or outdated code snippets.

Disclaimer

As a sandbox environment repository, this project is not suitable for production use without additional hardening, security audits, and testing. Users assume responsibility for any risks associated with contributing to or using the repository contents.

Policy Updates

The maintainers may revise this Security Policy periodically to address the evolving threat landscape and improve security-related processes. Updates will be documented in this repository.

If you have questions about this policy or security-related concerns, please contact the maintainers. Thank you for helping to ensure the security of this project!
