The MCP Server Builder Platform is designed with security as a top priority. This document outlines our security practices, policies, and how to report security vulnerabilities.

We release patches for security vulnerabilities for the following versions:

1. Input Validation: All user inputs are validated and sanitized
2. No Sensitive Data Storage: Credentials and sensitive information are never stored in browser storage
3. Configuration Security: Generated configurations include placeholders for sensitive data
4. XSS Prevention: React's built-in XSS protection, plus additional sanitization
5. CSRF Protection: Stateless architecture eliminates CSRF vulnerabilities

1. Dependency Scanning: Regular automated dependency vulnerability scans
2. Code Analysis: Static code analysis to detect security issues
3. Minimal Dependencies: Reduced attack surface through minimal dependencies
4. Secure Build Process: Verified and signed builds

1. HTTPS Required: All production deployments must use HTTPS
2. Content Security Policy: Recommended CSP headers included
3. Secure Headers: Security headers configuration provided
4. Container Security: Docker images built with security best practices

1. Never Commit Secrets: Do not commit API keys, tokens, or passwords to version control
2. Use Environment Variables: Store sensitive configuration in environment variables
3. Rotate Credentials: Regularly rotate API keys and access tokens
4. Least Privilege: Configure integrations with minimal required permissions

1. Use HTTPS: Always deploy over HTTPS in production
2. Update Regularly: Keep the platform and dependencies up to date
3. Monitor Access: Log and monitor access to your MCP servers
4. Network Security: Use firewalls and network security groups appropriately

1. Validate Inputs: Ensure your MCP servers validate all inputs
2. Sanitize Outputs: Sanitize data before exposing it
3. Audit Logs: Implement comprehensive audit logging
4. Access Control: Implement proper authentication and authorization

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please follow these steps:

1. DO NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
2. Email security reports to: security@pangerlkr.link
3. Include detailed information:
   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if any)

• Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours of your report
• Initial Assessment: Within 1 week
• Status Updates: Regular updates on progress
• Resolution Timeline: Depends on severity
  • Critical: 24-48 hours
  • High: 1 week
  • Medium: 2-4 weeks
  • Low: 4-8 weeks

• We follow coordinated disclosure
• We will work with you to understand and address the issue
• We request 90 days before public disclosure
• We will credit researchers (if desired) in our security advisories

We recognize and thank security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities:

• Enable HTTPS with valid SSL/TLS certificate
• Configure Content Security Policy headers
• Set up security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
• Review and configure CORS policies
• Scan for vulnerabilities in dependencies
• Review application logs configuration
• Set up monitoring and alerting

• Verify HTTPS is enforced
• Test security headers are present
• Verify CSP is working correctly
• Test authentication and authorization
• Monitor for unusual activity
• Set up automated security scanning
• Document incident response procedures

• OWASP Top 10
• OWASP Application Security Verification Standard
• CWE Top 25

• Content Security Policy (CSP)
• HTTP Security Headers
• Web Security Guidelines

• Docker Security Best Practices
• CIS Docker Benchmark

• MCP Security Guidelines
• MCP Best Practices

• Dependency Updates: Automated weekly dependency updates
• Security Patches: Released as needed for vulnerabilities
• Version Updates: Following semantic versioning

Subscribe to security updates:

• GitHub Watch → Custom → Security alerts
• RSS feed: https://github.com/pangerlkr/mcp-rep/security/advisories.atom
• Email: Subscribe at security@example.com

We regularly audit and update third-party dependencies:

• Automated dependency scanning with Dependabot
• Regular manual security reviews
• Prompt patching of known vulnerabilities

Third-party MCP servers are:

• Not directly controlled by this project
• Subject to their own security policies
• Recommended to be audited independently
• Should be kept up to date

For security-related inquiries:

• Email: security@example.com
• PGP Key: [Available on request]
• Response Time: Within 48 hours

For general support:

• GitHub Issues: For non-security bugs
• Discussion: For questions and feature requests

This project aims to comply with:

• OWASP Top 10 (2021)
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• CIS Controls
• General security best practices

Currently pursuing:

• SOC 2 Type II (planned)
• ISO 27001 (planned)

The following are in scope for vulnerability reports:

• The MCP Server Builder web application
• Build and deployment configurations
• Official Docker images
• Documentation that could lead to security issues

The following are out of scope:

• Third-party MCP server implementations
• Issues in third-party dependencies (report to the maintainers)
• Social engineering attacks
• Physical attacks

We will not pursue legal action against security researchers who:

• Act in good faith
• Follow this disclosure policy
• Do not access or modify data without authorization
• Do not degrade service availability
