## Reporting a Vulnerability
We take the security of PicPeak seriously. If you have discovered a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:
### 1. **Do NOT create a public GitHub issue**
### 2. Report the vulnerability privately by:
- **Preferred:** Use [GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting](https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak/security/advisories/new)
- **Alternative:** Email us at **info@picpeak.app** with the details
- Include:
- Description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce
- Potential impact
- Suggested fix (if any)
### 3. You can expect:
- Acknowledgment within 48 hours
- Regular updates on our progress
- Credit in the fix announcement (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
## Security Measures
PicPeak implements several security measures:
### Authentication & Authorization
- JWT-based authentication with secure token storage
- bcrypt password hashing with configurable rounds
- Role-based access control for admin functions
- Session timeout management
### Input Validation
- All user inputs are validated and sanitized
- SQL injection prevention through parameterized queries
- XSS protection via Content Security Policy
- File upload restrictions and validation
### Rate Limiting
- API rate limiting to prevent abuse
- Brute force protection on authentication endpoints
- Configurable limits per endpoint
### Data Protection
- HTTPS enforcement in production

### Infrastructure

- Automated backups
## Best Practices for Deployment
1. **Always use HTTPS** in production
2. **Change default passwords** immediately
3. **Keep dependencies updated** regularly
4. **Configure firewall rules** appropriately
5. **Monitor logs** for suspicious activity
6. **Backup regularly** and test restoration
## Vulnerability Disclosure
We believe in responsible disclosure. Once a vulnerability is fixed:
1. We'll publish a security advisory
2. Credit researchers (with permission)
3. Detail the impact and mitigation steps
4. Release patches for all supported versions
