Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Angel OS takes security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly.

1. Email: (Security contact to be added)
2. Subject: [SECURITY] Brief description
3. Include:
   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if you have one)

• Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours
• Initial Assessment: Within 1 week
• Status Updates: Every 2 weeks until resolved
• Credit: You'll be credited in the fix announcement (unless you prefer anonymity)

• Day 0: Vulnerability reported
• Day 1-7: Verification and impact assessment
• Day 7-30: Fix development and testing
• Day 30-90: Coordinated disclosure (depending on severity)

We aim for 90-day disclosure for critical vulnerabilities, faster for lower-severity issues.

Angel OS is currently in BETA. Security updates will be applied to:

Once v1.0 is released, we'll maintain security updates for the current major version and one prior major version.

1. Environment Variables

   • Never commit .env files
   • Use strong secrets (32+ random characters)
   • Rotate API keys regularly
   • Use different secrets for dev/staging/prod

2. Database Security

   • Use strong database passwords
   • Enable SSL/TLS for database connections
   • Restrict database access to application servers only
   • Regular backups with encryption

3. API Keys & Tokens

   • Store in environment variables
   • Never log or expose in error messages
   • Use scoped permissions (principle of least privilege)
   • Rotate compromised keys immediately

4. Cloudflare Tunnel

   • Use unique tunnel tokens per deployment
   • Restrict tunnel access to specific origins
   • Enable Cloudflare WAF rules
   • Monitor tunnel logs for suspicious activity

5. Updates

   • Keep dependencies up to date (pnpm update)
   • Monitor security advisories (GitHub Dependabot)
   • Test updates in staging before production
   • Subscribe to Payload CMS security announcements

1. Code Review

   • All PRs require review before merge
   • Security-sensitive changes require maintainer approval
   • Test authentication and authorization thoroughly

2. Dependencies

   • Minimize new dependencies
   • Vet dependencies for security issues
   • Use pnpm audit before submitting PRs
   • Document why each dependency is needed

3. Sensitive Data

   • Never commit secrets, keys, or credentials
   • Use .env.example for documentation
   • Sanitize logs and error messages
   • Be careful with user-generated content

4. Access Control

   • Follow Payload CMS access control patterns
   • Always set overrideAccess: false when passing user to Local API
   • Test permission boundaries thoroughly
   • Document access control decisions

Angel OS implements multi-tenancy. Security considerations:

• Tenant Isolation: Each tenant's data must be strictly isolated
• Archangel Access: Platform operators have admin access to all tenants
• Angel Access: Each Angel can only access their own tenant's data
• Cross-Tenant Attacks: Test for tenant ID manipulation in all requests

Angel OS integrates with AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.):

• API Key Security: Keys must be stored securely and never exposed
• Prompt Injection: User input to AI must be sanitized
• Data Leakage: Be careful what data is sent to AI providers
• Rate Limiting: Implement rate limits to prevent abuse

Angel OS supports federation (enterprise-to-enterprise communication):

• 5-Layer Security: Application screening, probation, vouching, monitoring, council
• MCP Security: Secure MCP endpoints with authentication
• Trust Boundaries: Validate all data from federated enterprises
• Malicious Actors: Monitor for meme coins, data harvesting, spam

• ✅ Payload CMS authentication and authorization
• ✅ CSRF protection (Next.js)
• ✅ SQL injection protection (Payload ORM)
• ✅ XSS protection (React escaping)
• ✅ Rate limiting (to be implemented)
• ✅ Input validation (Payload schemas)

• ⏳ Rate limiting on API endpoints
• ⏳ Audit logging for sensitive operations
• ⏳ Two-factor authentication (2FA)
• ⏳ IP allowlisting for admin panel
• ⏳ Webhook signature verification
• ⏳ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers

Angel OS is designed with privacy in mind:

• Data Minimization: Collect only what's needed
• User Control: Users can export and delete their data
• Transparency: Clear privacy policies
• Consent: Explicit consent for data processing

Payment processing follows the Ultimate Fair model:

• Transparent Splits: All payment splits are auditable
• Attribution Tracking: Clear record of how customers found providers
• Justice Fund: 5% of profits go to community support
• No Hidden Fees: All fees disclosed upfront

• Security concerns: Email security contact (to be added)
• General questions: Open a GitHub Discussion
• Constitution compliance: See docs/Angel_OS_Constitution.md

Remember: Security is everyone's responsibility. If you see something, say something.
