Reporting a Vulnerability

We take the security of CodeFlow seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us as described below.

Please do NOT:

  • Open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
  • Disclose the vulnerability publicly before it has been addressed

Please DO:

  1. Email us directly at [your-email@example.com] with:

    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce the issue
    • Potential impact
    • Any suggested fixes (if applicable)
  2. Allow us time to respond - We will acknowledge your email within 48 hours and provide a more detailed response within 7 days.

  3. Work with us - We may ask for additional information or guidance.

What to Expect

  • Confirmation: We'll confirm receipt of your vulnerability report
  • Assessment: We'll assess the vulnerability and determine its severity
  • Fix Development: We'll work on a fix
  • Disclosure: Once fixed, we'll disclose the vulnerability details (with your permission to credit you)
  • Recognition: We'll add you to our security hall of fame (if you wish)

Security Best Practices

When using CodeFlow:

For Users

  • Use strong, unique room IDs
  • Don't share room IDs publicly
  • Be cautious about what code you share
  • Log out when finished with a session

For Self-Hosters

  • Keep dependencies up to date
  • Use HTTPS in production
  • Set strong environment variables
  • Implement rate limiting
  • Use a firewall
  • Regular security audits
  • Keep Node.js updated

For Contributors

  • Never commit sensitive data (API keys, passwords, etc.)
  • Use environment variables for secrets
  • Review code for security vulnerabilities
  • Follow secure coding practices
  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs
  • Use parameterized queries (if applicable)

Known Security Considerations

Current Limitations

  1. Room Access: Anyone with a room ID can join - implement authentication for private rooms
  2. Code Visibility: All room members can see all code - be careful with sensitive information
  3. Chat Messages: Not encrypted end-to-end - avoid sharing sensitive data in chat

Planned Security Enhancements

  • Optional password protection for rooms
  • User authentication and authorization
  • End-to-end encryption for chat
  • Role-based access control
  • Session timeout mechanisms
  • Rate limiting for API endpoints
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) headers

Security Updates

We will announce security updates through:

  • GitHub Security Advisories
  • Release notes
  • Email notifications (for serious vulnerabilities)

Third-Party Dependencies

We regularly update our dependencies to include security patches. You can check for known vulnerabilities using:

# Check for vulnerabilities
npm audit

# Fix vulnerabilities
npm audit fix

Compliance

CodeFlow is designed with security in mind but is provided "as is" without warranty. Organizations should:

  • Conduct their own security assessments
  • Implement additional security measures as needed
  • Comply with their own security policies
  • Perform regular security audits
