At doc-extract-parse-index, we take security seriously. This document outlines our security policy and guidelines for reporting vulnerabilities.

We appreciate responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. If you discover a security issue, please report it to us as soon as possible.

Please DO NOT open a public GitHub issue. Instead, please send an email to [email protected] (replace with actual security contact if available).

In your report, please include:

• A clear and concise description of the vulnerability.
• Steps to reproduce the vulnerability.
• The potential impact of the vulnerability.
• Any proof-of-concept code or screenshots (if applicable).
• Your contact information (optional).

We will acknowledge your report within 2-3 business days and provide regular updates on the remediation process.

While developing and deploying doc-extract-parse-index, we strive to adhere to the following security best practices:

• Input Validation: All user inputs are rigorously validated to prevent injection attacks (e.g., SQL injection, XSS).
• Authentication and Authorization: Implement robust authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g., JWT, OAuth) for user access control.
• Dependency Management: Regularly update and audit third-party dependencies for known vulnerabilities. Use tools like pip-audit or npm audit.
• Error Handling and Logging: Implement secure error handling to prevent information disclosure and log security-related events for auditing.
• Configuration Management: Securely manage sensitive configurations (e.g., API keys, database credentials) using environment variables or secret management tools.
• API Security: Implement rate limiting, API key authentication, and proper access controls for API endpoints.
• Data Protection: Ensure sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
• Regular Security Audits: Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing.
• Least Privilege: Ensure that services and users operate with the minimum necessary privileges.

We rely on various third-party libraries and frameworks. We make efforts to keep these dependencies up to date to mitigate known vulnerabilities. Contributors are encouraged to report any outdated or vulnerable dependencies they identify.
