Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

Reporting Process

  1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
  2. Email security reports directly to: dev@0xwulf.dev
  3. Include the following information:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce the issue
    • Potential impact assessment
    • Suggested fix (if available)

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Assessment: Within 7 days
  • Fix Development: Based on severity (1-30 days)
  • Public Disclosure: After fix is deployed

Security Measures

KeyJolt implements multiple security layers:

Application Security

  • Input Validation: Server-side validation for all user inputs
  • Rate Limiting: Token bucket algorithm with configurable limits
  • Security Headers: HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options
  • Stateless Design: No server-side session storage

Cryptographic Security

  • Key Generation: Uses cryptographically secure random number generators
  • RSA Implementation: Bouncy Castle library with industry-standard algorithms
  • Key Strength: Supports 2048, 3072, and 4096-bit RSA keys
  • Secure Deletion: Files overwritten with random data before deletion

Infrastructure Security

  • Automatic Cleanup: Generated keys deleted after 5 minutes
  • No Persistence: Keys never stored permanently
  • Memory Management: Secure handling of sensitive data in memory
  • File System: Restricted access to temporary file directories

Known Security Considerations

By Design

  • Private keys are generated server-side (necessary for web interface)
  • Keys exist temporarily in server memory during generation
  • Network transmission of generated keys (use HTTPS in production)

Mitigations

  • Immediate secure deletion after download
  • Rate limiting prevents automated abuse
  • No logging of key material
  • Secure random number generation

Security Best Practices for Users

  1. Always use HTTPS in production deployments
  2. Download keys immediately after generation
  3. Verify key integrity using fingerprints
  4. Store private keys securely offline
  5. Never share private keys via insecure channels

Production Deployment Security

Required

  • HTTPS with valid TLS certificates
  • Proper firewall configuration
  • Regular security updates
  • Monitoring and alerting

Recommended

  • Web Application Firewall (WAF)
  • DDoS protection
  • Regular security audits
  • Backup and recovery procedures

Vulnerability Categories

We particularly welcome reports for:

  • Authentication/Authorization bypass
  • Input validation vulnerabilities
  • Cryptographic implementation issues
  • Information disclosure vulnerabilities
  • Denial of Service attack vectors
  • File handling security issues

Acknowledgments

We appreciate responsible disclosure and will acknowledge security researchers who help improve KeyJolt's security:

  • Public acknowledgment in release notes (if desired)
  • Recognition in security hall of fame
  • Direct communication with development team
