We release patches for security vulnerabilities in the following versions:

If you discover a security vulnerability in Issue Tracker, please report it responsibly:

1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
2. Email security concerns to: [security@yourproject.com] (replace with actual email)
3. Include as much information as possible about the vulnerability

When reporting a security vulnerability, please include:

• Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
• Impact: Potential impact and attack scenarios
• Reproduction: Step-by-step instructions to reproduce
• Environment: Affected versions, browsers, operating systems
• Proof of Concept: If applicable, include a PoC (without causing harm)

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Investigation: Within 7 days
• Fix Release: Within 30 days (depending on severity)
• Public Disclosure: After fix is released and users have time to update

• OAuth Integration: Secure authentication via Google OAuth
• JWT Tokens: Secure session management with proper expiration
• Session Validation: All API routes validate user sessions
• Protected Routes: Client-side route protection

• Input Validation: All user inputs validated with Zod schemas
• SQL Injection Prevention: Prisma ORM prevents SQL injection
• XSS Protection: React's built-in XSS protection
• CSRF Protection: NextAuth.js CSRF protection

• Authentication Required: Sensitive operations require authentication
• Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting for API endpoints
• Error Handling: No sensitive information in error messages
• HTTPS Only: Enforce HTTPS in production

• Connection Security: Secure MongoDB connection strings
• Access Control: Proper database user permissions
• Data Encryption: Encryption at rest (MongoDB Atlas)
• Backup Security: Secure backup procedures

• Environment Variables: Sensitive data in environment variables
• Secret Management: Secure handling of API keys and secrets
• Dependency Updates: Regular dependency security updates
• Error Monitoring: Sentry for error tracking (no sensitive data logged)

1. Never commit secrets to version control
2. Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
3. Validate all inputs on both client and server
4. Keep dependencies updated to patch security vulnerabilities
5. Use HTTPS in production environments
6. Implement proper error handling without exposing sensitive information

1. Use strong passwords for your accounts
2. Keep your browser updated for latest security patches
3. Be cautious of phishing attempts
4. Log out when using shared computers
5. Report suspicious activity immediately

1. Use secure hosting providers with good security practices
2. Enable HTTPS with valid SSL certificates
3. Configure proper CORS settings
4. Set secure headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.)
5. Regular security audits of deployed applications

• SQL Injection: Prevented by Prisma ORM
• XSS: Prevented by React's JSX escaping
• CSRF: Prevented by NextAuth.js
• Session Fixation: Prevented by proper session management

• Dependency Vulnerabilities: Monitor with npm audit
• Configuration Errors: Improper environment setup
• Access Control: Insufficient permission checks
• Data Exposure: Logging sensitive information

Recommended security headers for production:

# Content Security Policy
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: https:; font-src 'self' data:; connect-src 'self' https:; frame-ancestors 'none';";

# Strict Transport Security
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload";

# X-Frame-Options
add_header X-Frame-Options "DENY";

# X-Content-Type-Options
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

# Referrer Policy
add_header Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin";

# Permissions Policy
add_header Permissions-Policy "geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()";
