We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in AuditAgent, please report it responsibly.

DO NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead:

1. Email: security@auditagent.io (or create a private security advisory on GitHub)
2. Include:
   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if any)

• Initial response: Within 24 hours
• Status update: Within 72 hours
• Fix timeline: Depends on severity (see below)

Critical (Fix within 24 hours):

• Private key exposure
• Unauthorized fund access
• Remote code execution

High (Fix within 1 week):

• Authentication bypass
• Payment manipulation
• Data exposure

Medium (Fix within 2 weeks):

• Denial of service
• Information disclosure
• Rate limit bypass

Low (Fix in next release):

• UI/UX issues
• Non-sensitive information disclosure

1. Never commit secrets

   • Use .env.local for sensitive data
   • Check with git check-ignore .env.local

2. Key management

   • Generate new keys for production
   • Store keys securely (KMS, hardware wallet)
   • Rotate keys regularly

3. Testing

   • Always test on devnet first
   • Never use production keys in tests
   • Verify transactions before mainnet

1. Verify payments

   • Check x-payment header authenticity
   • Validate TAP proofs
   • Implement rate limiting

2. Secure endpoints

   • Use HTTPS only
   • Validate all inputs
   • Implement CORS properly

1. Infrastructure

   • Use production RPC providers with SLAs
   • Enable monitoring and alerts
   • Implement backup systems

2. Access control

   • Limit who has access to private keys
   • Use multi-sig for high-value operations
   • Audit access logs regularly

3. Compliance

   • Follow all applicable regulations
   • Maintain audit trails
   • Regular security reviews

Not for production use - Current version is designed for:

• Development and testing
• Proof of concept
• Community feedback

Known limitations:

• No withdrawal functionality
• No spending limits
• No audit by security firm
• In-memory payment logs (not persistent)

We recommend:

• Professional security audit
• Smart contract insurance
• Production key management
• Monitoring infrastructure
• Incident response plan

See docs/PRODUCTION.md for complete checklist.

✅ Authority-based access control
✅ On-chain state validation
✅ Cryptographic TAP proofs
✅ Rent-exempt account checks
✅ Transaction signature verification

• Multi-signature support
• Spending limits and rate controls
• Withdrawal authorization
• Emergency pause functionality
• Time-locked operations

We regularly monitor dependencies for vulnerabilities:

# Check for vulnerabilities
npm audit

# Update dependencies
npm update

Critical dependencies:

• @solana/web3.js - Solana interactions
• @faremeter/payment-solana - Payment handling
• next - Web framework
• tweetnacl - Cryptography

After a vulnerability is fixed:

1. Security advisory published on GitHub
2. CVE assigned (if applicable)
3. Update released with patch
4. Users notified via GitHub/Discord
5. Credit given to reporter (if desired)

Coming soon: We plan to launch a bug bounty program for mainnet deployment.

Potential rewards:

• Critical: $5,000+
• High: $1,000-$5,000
• Medium: $500-$1,000
• Low: Recognition + swag

We'll recognize security researchers who help make AuditAgent more secure.
