πŸ› οΈ Security Best Practices for Users

For Developers Using AG-UI-4J

  1. Keep Dependencies Updated

    mvn dependency:display-plugin-updates
    mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
  2. Use Dependency Scanning

    mvn org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check
  3. Follow Secure Coding Practices

    • Validate all inputs
    • Use parameterized queries
    • Implement proper authentication and authorization
    • Handle errors securely (don't expose sensitive information)
  4. Regular Security Audits

    • Review your application's security posture regularly
    • Keep AG-UI-4J updated to the latest version
    • Monitor security advisories

For AG-UI-4J Contributors

  1. Code Review Requirements

    • All code changes require review by at least one maintainer
    • Security-sensitive changes require additional security review
  2. Dependency Management

    • New dependencies must be justified and reviewed
    • Dependencies should be kept to minimum necessary versions
    • Regular dependency updates via Dependabot
  3. Testing Requirements

    • Security-related changes require comprehensive tests
    • Include negative test cases (invalid inputs, edge cases)

πŸ” Known Security Considerations

Current Security Features

  • Input Validation - [Describe current validation mechanisms]
  • Authentication - [Describe authentication methods if applicable]
  • Authorization - [Describe authorization controls if applicable]
  • Data Protection - [Describe data protection measures]

Security Roadmap

As the project evolves, we plan to implement:

  • Comprehensive input validation framework
  • Security testing automation
  • Regular security audits
  • Penetration testing for major releases
