Security Policy for Memory Pod Fabric (MPF)

This document outlines the security procedures and policies for the Memory Pod Fabric protocol specification and reference implementations.

Reporting a Vulnerability

The MPF team takes security bugs seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

To report a security issue, please email security@amotivv.com with the subject "MPF SECURITY VULNERABILITY". Include the following information:

  • Type of issue
  • Location of the affected source code
  • 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

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Response Process

The MPF team will acknowledge your email within 48 hours and provide a more detailed response within 72 hours, including:

  • Confirmation of the issue and its severity
  • Whether the issue qualifies for a security advisory
  • Expected timeline for a fix or mitigation

For critical vulnerabilities, we strive to release patches as quickly as possible.

Disclosure Policy

When the MPF team receives a security bug report, we will:

  1. Confirm the problem and determine affected versions
  2. Audit code to find any similar problems
  3. Prepare fixes for all affected versions
  4. Release patches as appropriate

Security Best Practices for Implementers

If you are implementing the MPF protocol, we recommend:

  • Regularly update to the latest version of the specification and reference implementations
  • Follow the security guidelines in the specification, particularly regarding:
    • Capability token validation
    • Cryptographic verification
    • Access control enforcement
    • Proper authentication methods
  • Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • Validate all inputs, especially in capability tokens and query parameters
  • Use secure defaults for all configuration options

Security Considerations in the Protocol

The MPF protocol includes several security features by design:

  • Capability-based Security: Fine-grained permissions using JWT tokens
  • Cryptographic Verification: Merkle tree audit trails for tamper evidence
  • Token Revocation: Methods for invalidating compromised tokens
  • Delegated Authentication: Support for various authentication schemes

Security Updates

Security updates will be announced via:

  • Security advisories in the GitHub repository
  • Email notifications to the working group

Attribution

We credit reporters of security issues according to their disclosure preferences.

This security policy is subject to revision as the protocol evolves.
