Reporting a Vulnerability

We take the security of Team X-Ray seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

πŸ“§ How to Report

Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via one of the following methods:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories (Preferred)

    • Navigate to the Security tab
    • Click "Report a vulnerability"
    • Provide detailed information about the vulnerability
  2. Email

    • Send details to: [email protected]
    • Use the subject line: [SECURITY] Team X-Ray Vulnerability Report

πŸ“ What to Include

Please include the following information in your report:

  • Type of vulnerability (e.g., XSS, CSRF, SQL injection, token exposure)
  • Full path(s) of source file(s) related to the vulnerability
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the vulnerability - what can an attacker accomplish?
  • Suggested fix (if you have one)

⏱️ Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours of report submission
  • Status Update: Within 7 days with validation and severity assessment
  • Resolution Timeline: Varies based on severity
    • Critical: Within 7 days
    • High: Within 30 days
    • Medium: Within 90 days
    • Low: Best effort

πŸ”’ Disclosure Policy

  • Security vulnerabilities will be disclosed responsibly
  • We will coordinate with you on the disclosure timeline
  • Public disclosure will only occur after a fix is available
  • We will credit reporters in security advisories (unless you prefer anonymity)

Security Best Practices for Users

Token Management

  • Never commit tokens to version control
  • Store tokens securely using VS Code's secret storage
  • Use tokens with minimal required permissions:
    • repo (for private repositories)
    • read:user (for user information)
    • read:org (for organization analysis)
  • Rotate tokens regularly (every 90 days recommended)
  • Revoke tokens immediately if compromised

Extension Configuration

  • Keep the extension updated to the latest version
  • Review the extension's permissions before installation
  • Only install from official VS Code Marketplace
  • Report suspicious behavior immediately

GitHub Token Scopes

Minimum required scopes for Team X-Ray:

repo (if analyzing private repositories)
read:user
read:org (for organization analysis)

Avoid granting unnecessary permissions like:

  • admin:*
  • delete_repo
  • workflow (unless explicitly needed)

Known Security Considerations

Current Implementation

  1. Token Storage: Tokens are stored using VS Code's SecretStorage API (encrypted)
  2. API Communication: All GitHub API calls use HTTPS
  3. No External Services: Extension runs locally, no data sent to third parties
  4. Input Validation: Repository URLs and user inputs are validated
  5. Content Security Policy: Webviews use strict CSP

Dependencies

  • We regularly audit dependencies using npm audit
  • Automated security updates via Dependabot (planned)
  • Critical vulnerabilities are patched within 7 days

Security Updates

Security updates will be released as:

  • Patch versions (e.g., 1.0.5 β†’ 1.0.6) for minor security fixes
  • Minor versions (e.g., 1.0.x β†’ 1.1.0) for moderate security improvements
  • Major versions (e.g., 1.x β†’ 2.0) for significant security architecture changes
