If you discover a security vulnerability in this project, please report it by emailing security@sniper-bot.org. Please do not create public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities.

We take all security vulnerabilities seriously and will respond within 48 hours. If the issue is confirmed, we will release a patch as soon as possible, typically within 7 days.

Please include the following information in your report:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the vulnerability
• Potential impact of the vulnerability
• Any possible mitigations you've identified

• All cryptographic keys are managed through the sniper-keys crate
• Keys are never hardcoded in source code
• Hardware Security Modules (HSM) or Vault integration is used for production
• Regular key rotation policies are enforced

• All code undergoes security review before merging
• Automated security scanning is performed on every commit
• Dependencies are regularly audited for vulnerabilities
• Security best practices are enforced through CI/CD

• Real-time risk management through the sniper-risk crate
• Compliance enforcement through the sniper-policy crate
• Regular risk assessment and mitigation
• Backtesting and simulation for risk validation

• Adherence to DEVELOPMENT_GUIDELINES.MD
• Regular compliance verification using scripts/run_compliance_tests.ps1
• Documentation of all security and compliance measures
• Regular security training for developers

• Unit tests for all security-critical components
• Integration tests for security workflows
• Fuzz testing for critical input handling
• Penetration testing for external interfaces

• Security code reviews for all changes
• Architecture reviews for new features
• Third-party security audits for major releases
• Red team exercises for critical components

In the event of a security incident:

1. Containment - Isolate affected systems
2. Investigation - Determine scope and impact
3. Remediation - Apply fixes and patches
4. Communication - Notify stakeholders as appropriate
5. Documentation - Record incident and lessons learned

We use cargo-audit and cargo-deny to monitor dependencies for known vulnerabilities. All dependencies are regularly updated through Dependabot.

All code changes must be reviewed by at least one other developer before merging. Security-sensitive changes require review by a security team member.

The main branch has the following protections:

• Required code reviews
• Required status checks (including security checks)
• Required linear history
• Required signed commits (for releases)
