We take security seriously at CONductOR. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow responsible disclosure practices:

1. Do NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
2. Email security reports to the maintainers privately
3. Use GitHub Security Advisories: Report a vulnerability

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact assessment
• Suggested fix (if you have one)
• Your contact information for follow-up

• Initial response: Within 48 hours
• Status update: Within 7 days
• Fix timeline: Varies by severity
  • Critical: 1-7 days
  • High: 7-14 days
  • Medium: 14-30 days
  • Low: 30-90 days

CONductOR interacts with:

• Web browsers via automation (potential XSS, CSRF)
• PowerShell execution (code injection, privilege escalation)
• AI service APIs (data exfiltration, prompt injection)
• Local file system (path traversal, arbitrary file access)

• Safe mode by default: Dangerous commands blocked
• Command validation: Regex filtering for malicious patterns
• No automatic script execution: User confirmation required
• Logging: All commands logged for audit

# Blocked by default
$dangerousCommands = @(
    'Remove-Item -Recurse',
    'Format-Volume',
    'Invoke-WebRequest | Invoke-Expression',
    'Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass'
)

• No credential storage: API keys never stored in code
• Session isolation: Each service uses separate context
• CSP compliance: Respects Content Security Policy
• User confirmation: Sensitive actions require approval

• API key protection: Environment variables only
• Rate limiting: Exponential backoff on failures
• Input sanitization: User input validated before sending
• Response validation: AI responses checked for injection attempts

• No persistent storage of sensitive data
• Logs exclude credentials: Automatic redaction
• Local execution only: No external telemetry

1. Browser automation fragility: UI changes can break selectors
2. PowerShell injection risk: Advanced users can bypass safe mode
3. AI prompt injection: Malicious prompts could manipulate behavior
4. No sandboxing: PowerShell runs with user privileges

• Review commands before execution
• Enable safe mode for untrusted input
• Rotate API keys regularly
• Monitor logs for suspicious activity
• Keep dependencies updated

• Never commit API keys or secrets
• Use environment variables for configuration
• Validate all user input before processing
• Add tests for security-critical code
• Follow principle of least privilege

• Input validation on all user-provided data
• Output encoding for browser automation
• Error messages don't leak sensitive information
• Authentication tokens stored securely
• Dependencies scanned for vulnerabilities
• Code reviewed for injection vulnerabilities

We follow a coordinated disclosure model:

1. Report received and acknowledged
2. Vulnerability verified by maintainers
3. Fix developed and tested privately
4. Security advisory published after fix deployed
5. Public disclosure after users have time to update

• Primary: GitHub Security Advisories
• Alternative: Create a private issue discussion

We believe in recognizing security researchers:

• Public credit (with your permission)
• Hall of Fame for significant findings
• Timeline transparency in advisories

Thank you for helping keep CONductOR secure! 🔒
