SECURITY.md# Security Policy
This document outlines the security policy and vulnerability disclosure process for the DevSecOps Free Agent HQ project. We are committed to maintaining enterprise-grade security practices and ensuring timely response to security concerns.
If you discover a security vulnerability, please email it directly to security@devsecops-hq.local with:
- Description of the vulnerability
- Affected components or files
- Severity assessment (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
- Steps to reproduce (if applicable)
- Proof of concept or exploit code
Expected Response Timeline:
- Critical: 24 hours
- High: 48 hours
- Medium: 1 week
- Low: 2 weeks
All pull requests and commits are automatically scanned by three integrated security tools:
- Purpose: AI-powered code analysis for security patterns and best practices
- Execution Time: ~7 seconds
- Coverage: All code files
- Reports: Available in PR checks
- Purpose: Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
- Database: GitHub's CodeQL semantic code analysis engine
- Execution Time: ~49 seconds
- Coverage: Python, JavaScript, and supported languages
- Reports: Available in Security tab
- Purpose: Vulnerability scanning for dependencies and container images
- Database: Trivy vulnerability database (daily updates)
- Execution Time: ~15 seconds
- Coverage: All file types including Dockerfiles
- Reports: Available in PR checks and Actions logs
