This document outlines security measures and considerations for the Aran MCP Sentinel platform.

• Default Admin User: admin@aran-mcp.com
• Default Password: admin123
• CRITICAL: Change these credentials immediately in production!

All sensitive configuration should be provided via environment variables:

# Required Environment Variables
JWT_SECRET=your-super-secret-jwt-key-change-in-production
DB_PASSWORD=your-secure-database-password
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your-secure-postgres-password
SUPABASE_URL=your-supabase-url
SUPABASE_KEY=your-supabase-key

• JWT-based Authentication: Secure token-based authentication
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): admin, user, viewer roles
• Password Hashing: bcrypt with salt
• Token Expiration: 15-minute access tokens, 7-day refresh tokens
• Audit Logging: Complete action tracking

• Password Hashing: bcrypt with salt rounds
• SQL Injection Prevention: Parameterized queries
• XSS Protection: Input validation and sanitization
• CSRF Protection: Token-based protection
• Rate Limiting: Configurable request limits

• Environment-based Configuration: No hardcoded secrets
• Database Security: Connection encryption support
• Container Security: Docker best practices
• Network Security: HTTPS support (configurable)

• Change default admin password
• Set strong JWT secret (32+ characters)
• Use strong database passwords
• Enable HTTPS
• Configure proper CORS settings
• Set up proper firewall rules
• Enable database SSL
• Configure rate limiting
• Set up monitoring and alerting
• Regular security updates

# Copy and customize
cp env.example .env
cp backend/configs/config.example.yaml backend/configs/config.yaml

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly:

1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue
2. Email security concerns to: [security@your-domain.com]
3. Include detailed information about the vulnerability
4. Allow reasonable time for response before public disclosure

• Never commit secrets to version control
• Use environment variables for all sensitive data
• Implement proper input validation
• Follow OWASP security guidelines
• Regular dependency updates
• Code security reviews

• Use strong, unique passwords
• Enable HTTPS in production
• Regular security updates
• Monitor for suspicious activity
• Backup data regularly
• Test disaster recovery procedures

The platform includes comprehensive security monitoring:

• Audit Logs: All user actions tracked
• Health Monitoring: Server status monitoring
• Alert System: Security event notifications
• Performance Monitoring: Response time tracking
• Error Tracking: Comprehensive error logging

• OWASP Top 10
• JWT Best Practices
• Docker Security
• PostgreSQL Security
