Subject: WireGuard Monitor Security Issue - [Brief Description]

**Summary**: 
Brief description of the vulnerability

**Impact**: 
What could an attacker accomplish?

**Reproduction Steps**:
1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Step three

**Environment**:
- OS and version
- WireGuard Monitor version
- Docker version
- Any relevant configuration

**Proof of Concept**:
(If applicable, include PoC code or screenshots)

**Suggested Fix**:
(If you have ideas for fixing the issue)

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Investigation: 1-7 days depending on complexity
• Fix Development: 7-30 days
• Coordinated Disclosure: After fix is available

• ✅ Secure file permissions (600) for config files
• ✅ Root-only access to sensitive files
• ✅ Input validation for all configuration parameters
• ✅ No hardcoded secrets in code

• ✅ Process isolation with systemd security features
• ✅ Minimal privileges (NoNewPrivileges=true)
• ✅ Protected system directories
• ✅ Secure temporary file handling

• ✅ HTTPS-only communication with Telegram API
• ✅ TLS certificate validation
• ✅ No sensitive data in logs
• ✅ Secure error message handling

• ✅ Read-only Docker socket access where possible
• ✅ Container isolation respect
• ✅ No privileged container operations
• ✅ Secure command execution

• Risk: Telegram bot tokens provide full access to your bot
• Mitigation: Store tokens securely with 600 permissions, rotate regularly
• Best Practice: Use dedicated monitoring-only bot, not personal bot

• Risk: Script requires Docker socket access to monitor containers
• Mitigation: Run with minimal necessary privileges
• Best Practice: Consider read-only Docker access where possible

• Risk: Logs may contain sensitive information
• Mitigation: Logs are protected with proper file permissions
• Best Practice: Regular log rotation and secure log storage

# Secure installation permissions
sudo chmod 600 /etc/telemon.env
sudo chown root:root /etc/telemon.env
sudo chmod 644 /var/log/wg-monitor.log
sudo chown root:adm /var/log/wg-monitor.log

• Create dedicated bot for monitoring only
• Limit bot permissions to send messages only
• Regularly rotate bot tokens
• Monitor bot usage in @BotFather

• Ensure firewall allows HTTPS (443) for Telegram API
• Monitor network traffic to api.telegram.org
• Consider using Telegram Bot API on local server

# Check file permissions
ls -la /etc/telemon.env
ls -la /usr/local/bin/wg_telemon.sh
ls -la /var/log/wg-monitor.log

# Audit configuration
sudo /usr/local/bin/wg_telemon.sh --test

• Always validate input parameters
• Use parameterized commands, avoid shell injection
• Implement proper error handling
• Never log sensitive information
• Follow principle of least privilege

# ✅ Good - Secure variable handling
if [[ -n "${BOT_TOKEN:-}" ]]; then
    # Use token securely
fi

# ❌ Bad - Insecure variable usage
echo "Token: $BOT_TOKEN"

• Configuration files have proper permissions (600)
• No hardcoded secrets in scripts or configs
• Input validation for all user-provided data
• Error messages don't reveal sensitive information
• Log files are properly secured and rotated
• Network communication uses encryption (HTTPS)
• File operations use secure temporary files
• Process execution follows least privilege principle

• File permission changes monitored
• Unusual network activity logged
• Failed authentication attempts tracked
• Configuration changes audited
• Docker socket access monitored
• Telegram API errors investigated

• ✅ Added comprehensive input validation
• ✅ Implemented secure configuration file handling
• ✅ Enhanced systemd security features
• ✅ Improved error message security
• ✅ Added process isolation features

• 🔄 Configuration encryption at rest
• 🔄 Enhanced audit logging
• 🔄 Rate limiting for API calls
• 🔄 Additional input validation
