Security Analysis

CodeQL Integration

This project uses GitHub CodeQL for automated security analysis with custom queries specifically designed for:

  • Vault Token Exposure: Detects potential exposure of HashiCorp Vault tokens in logs or error messages
  • File Permission Validation: Identifies insecure file permissions for sensitive files
  • Command Injection: Detects potential command injection vulnerabilities
  • Hard-coded Credentials: Finds hard-coded passwords, tokens, or other credentials

Security Testing

Our security testing includes:

  • Static Analysis: GoSec, Staticcheck, and custom security rules
  • Dependency Scanning: Vulnerability scanning with govulncheck and nancy
  • Fuzz Testing: Comprehensive fuzz testing for input validation
  • Integration Testing: Security-focused integration tests

Security Features

Eos implements several security features:

  • Structured Logging: All output uses structured logging to prevent information disclosure
  • Secure File Permissions: Sensitive files are created with restricted permissions (0600/0640)
  • Input Validation: Comprehensive input validation and sanitization
  • Error Handling: Secure error handling that doesn't expose sensitive information
  • Secret Management: Integration with HashiCorp Vault for secret management

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in Eos, please report it responsibly:

Where to Report

What to Include

Please include the following information in your report:

  1. Description: A clear description of the vulnerability
  2. Impact: Assessment of the potential impact
  3. Reproduction Steps: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
  4. Environment: Version, operating system, and configuration details
  5. Proof of Concept: If applicable, include a minimal proof of concept

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Assessment: Within 7 days
  • Fix Timeline: Varies by severity (see below)
  • Disclosure: Coordinated disclosure after fix is available

Severity Classification

Severity Description Response Time
Critical Remote code execution, privilege escalation 24-48 hours
High Data exposure, authentication bypass 3-7 days
Medium Information disclosure, DoS 2-4 weeks
Low Minor security issues 1-2 months

Security Best Practices

For Users

  • Keep Updated: Always use the latest version of Eos
  • Secure Configuration: Follow security configuration guidelines
  • Vault Integration: Use HashiCorp Vault for secret management
  • File Permissions: Ensure proper file permissions for sensitive files
  • Network Security: Use TLS/SSL for all network communications

For Contributors

  • Security Review: All code changes undergo security review
  • Testing: Include security tests with your contributions
  • Dependencies: Keep dependencies updated and scan for vulnerabilities
  • Secrets: Never commit secrets or credentials to the repository
  • Logging: Use structured logging and avoid logging sensitive data
