- ✅ Enforcing architectural boundaries for human judgment
- ✅ Validating actions against explicit instructions
- ✅ Preventing cached patterns from overriding explicit rules
- ✅ Monitoring context pressure and triggering safety protocols
- ✅ Ensuring value pluralism in multi-stakeholder decisions

# Security Policy
## Reporting Security Vulnerabilities
The Tractatus Framework takes security seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings.
### Where to Report
**Please DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
Instead, please report security vulnerabilities by emailing:
**security@agenticgovernance.digital**
### What to Include
To help us better understand and resolve the issue, please include as much of the following information as possible:
- **Type of vulnerability** (e.g., SQL injection, cross-site scripting, authentication bypass)
- **Full paths of affected source files**
- **Location of the affected code** (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
- **Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue**
- **Proof-of-concept or exploit code** (if applicable)
- **Impact of the vulnerability** (what an attacker could achieve)
- **Suggested mitigation** (if you have one)
### What to Expect
When you report a vulnerability, you can expect:
1. **Acknowledgment**: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within **48 hours**
2. **Assessment**: We will assess the vulnerability and determine its severity
3. **Updates**: We will keep you informed of our progress
4. **Resolution**: We will work to release a fix as quickly as possible
5. **Credit**: With your permission, we will credit you in the security advisory
### Disclosure Policy
- We request that you give us a reasonable amount of time to address the vulnerability before public disclosure
- We will keep you informed of our remediation timeline
- Once a fix is released, we will publish a security advisory crediting you (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
### Supported Versions
We currently support the following versions with security updates:
| Version | Supported |
| ------- | ------------------ |
| 3.5.x | ✅ Yes |
| < 3.5 | ❌ Not supported |
Only the latest minor version receives security updates. We strongly recommend keeping your installation up to date.
## Security Best Practices for Implementers
If you're implementing the Tractatus Framework in your own project, we recommend:
### 1. Environment Security
- **Never commit `.env` files** to version control
- **Rotate secrets regularly** (JWT secrets, API keys, database credentials)
- **Use strong passwords** for MongoDB and admin accounts
- **Enable MongoDB authentication** in production
- **Use TLS/SSL** for all connections in production
### 2. Network Security
- **Use firewalls** to restrict access to MongoDB and application ports
- **Enable rate limiting** (already configured in the framework)
- **Use reverse proxy** (nginx/Apache) with HTTPS
- **Configure CORS** appropriately for your use case
- **Monitor failed authentication attempts**
### 3. Deployment Security
- **Run as non-root user** (framework defaults to this)
- **Use Docker secrets** for sensitive configuration
- **Keep dependencies updated** (`npm audit` regularly)
- **Enable security headers** (already configured)
- **Disable debug logs** in production
### 4. Database Security
- **Create read-only database users** for reporting
- **Enable MongoDB access control**
- **Backup encryption keys** securely
- **Regular security audits** of database access logs
- **Implement data retention policies**
### 5. API Security
- **Validate all input** (framework provides validation middleware)
- **Sanitize error responses** (already configured)
- **Use authentication** for all admin endpoints
- **Implement request signing** for critical operations
- **Monitor for unusual API patterns**
## Known Security Considerations
### MongoDB Connection
The framework uses MongoDB for persistence. Ensure your MongoDB instance:
- Has authentication enabled
- Is not exposed to the public internet
- Uses encrypted connections (TLS)
- Has appropriate network firewall rules
- Is regularly backed up
### Rate Limiting
The framework includes rate limiting middleware configured for:
- **Public endpoints**: 100 requests per 15 minutes per IP
- **Adjustable limits**: See `src/config/app.config.js`
Adjust these limits based on your expected traffic and security requirements.
### Session Management
The framework uses MongoDB to store session state. Ensure:
- Sessions have appropriate timeouts
- Session data is regularly cleaned up
- Sensitive data is not stored in sessions
### Input Validation
All API endpoints include input validation middleware. However:
- Additional validation may be needed for your specific use case
- Always validate data at multiple layers
- Never trust client-side validation alone
## Security Updates
We will publish security advisories for any vulnerabilities discovered in the framework:
- **GitHub Security Advisories**: https://github.com/AgenticGovernance/tractatus-framework/security/advisories
- **Mailing List**: Subscribe at https://agenticgovernance.digital for security notifications
## Compliance
The Tractatus Framework is designed with security best practices in mind:
- **OWASP Top 10**: Protections against common vulnerabilities
- **Input Validation**: All endpoints validate input
- **Output Encoding**: Responses are sanitized
- **Security Headers**: Helmet middleware with custom CSP
- **Error Handling**: No stack traces in production
## Security Audit History
| Date | Type | Findings | Status |
|------------|----------------|----------|----------|
| 2025-10-21 | Internal Review| 0 Critical| Resolved |
We welcome third-party security audits. Please contact us if you're interested in conducting an audit.
## Contact
For security-related questions or concerns:
