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. DO NOT discuss the vulnerability in public forums or social media

Preferred Method: Security Advisory

• Go to our GitHub Security Advisories
• Click "Report a vulnerability"
• Fill out the form with detailed information

Alternative Method: Email

• Send details by: creating issue
• Use PGP encryption if possible (key available on request)

Please include the following information in your report:

• Vulnerability Type: (e.g., XSS, SQL Injection, CSRF, etc.)
• Location: Specific file, function, or endpoint affected
• Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the vulnerability
• Impact Assessment: Potential impact and severity
• Proof of Concept: Screenshots, code snippets, or test cases
• Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for remediation

• Initial Response: Within 24 hours
• Vulnerability Assessment: Within 3 business days
• Security Patch: Within 7 days for critical issues, 14 days for others
• Public Disclosure: Coordinated disclosure after patch is available

1. Environment Variables

   # Required environment variables (example)
   DATABASE_URL=your_database_url
   KINDE_CLIENT_ID=your_kinde_client_id
   KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_kinde_client_secret
   KINDE_ISSUER_URL=your_kinde_issuer_url
   KINDE_SITE_URL=your_site_url
   KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL=your_logout_url
   KINDE_POST_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL=your_login_redirect_url

2. Code Security Guidelines

   • Never commit secrets or API keys to the repository
   • Use environment variables for all sensitive configuration
   • Validate all user inputs using Zod schemas
   • Use Prisma's type-safe queries instead of raw SQL
   • Implement proper error handling without exposing sensitive information

3. Database Security

   • Use connection pooling for production environments
   • Implement proper database backups with encryption
   • Use least-privilege principle for database users
   • Regular database security updates

1. Security Headers

   // Recommended next.config.ts security headers
   const nextConfig = {
     async headers() {
       return [
         {
           source: "/(.*)",
           headers: [
             {
               key: "X-Frame-Options",
               value: "DENY",
             },
             {
               key: "X-Content-Type-Options",
               value: "nosniff",
             },
             {
               key: "Referrer-Policy",
               value: "strict-origin-when-cross-origin",
             },
             {
               key: "X-XSS-Protection",
               value: "1; mode=block",
             },
           ],
         },
       ];
     },
   };

2. Environment Security

   • Use HTTPS in production
   • Implement proper CORS policies
   • Regular security updates for all dependencies
   • Monitor application logs for suspicious activities

• Weekly: Dependency vulnerability scans using npm audit
• Monthly: Security header configuration review
• Quarterly: Complete security audit and penetration testing
• As Needed: Emergency security patches for critical vulnerabilities

We monitor for:

• Unusual authentication patterns
• Failed login attempts
• Suspicious API usage
• Dependency vulnerabilities
• Security advisories for used technologies

• Next.js Security
• Kinde Security
• Prisma Security
• OWASP Top 10

• Static Analysis: ESLint with security plugins
• Dependency Scanning: npm audit, audit-ci
• Code Quality: TypeScript strict mode
• Authentication: Kinde Auth with OIDC/OAuth2

• Security Team: security@berichhub.com
• General Support: support@berichhub.com
• Emergency Contact: Available 24/7 for critical security issues
