BRIEF: Security policy and vulnerability reporting process for Moko-Cassiopeia.
|
|
PATH: /SECURITY.md
|
|
NOTE: This policy is process oriented and does not replace secure engineering practices.
|

|
|
|
|
## Security Policy
|
|
|
|
This document defines how Moko-Cassiopeia handles vulnerability intake, triage, remediation, and disclosure. The objective is to reduce risk, protect downstream users, and preserve operational continuity with a verifiable audit trail.
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
This policy applies to:
|
|
|
|
* Repository source code, workflows, scripts, and build artifacts.
|
|
* Release packaging (ZIP outputs) generated from the repository.
|
|
* Configuration and metadata used for distribution (for example manifests and update metadata).
|
|
|
|
Out of scope:
|
|
|
|
* Vulnerabilities in upstream Joomla core, third party extensions, or external infrastructure not controlled by this repository.
|
|
* Issues that require physical access to a host, compromised administrator credentials, or a compromised hosting provider, unless the repository materially increases impact.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Versions
|
|
|
|
Security fixes are prioritized for:
|
|
|
|
* The latest released version.
|
|
* The current development line when it is actively used for release engineering.
|
|
|
|
Backports may be provided based on impact, deployment footprint, and engineering capacity.
|
|
|
|
## Reporting a Vulnerability
|
|
|
|
Use one of the following channels:
|
|
|
|
* GitHub Security Advisories (preferred): use the repository security tab to submit a private report.
|
|
* Email: send details to `hello@mokoconsulting.tech` with subject `SECURITY: Moko-Cassiopeia vulnerability report`.
|
|
|
|
Do not file a public GitHub issue for suspected security vulnerabilities.
|
|
|
|
### What to include
|
|
|
|
Provide enough detail to reproduce and triage:
|
|
|
|
* A clear description of the vulnerability and expected impact.
|
|
* A minimal proof of concept or reproduction steps.
|
|
* Affected versions, configuration assumptions, and environment details.
|
|
* Any proposed mitigation or patch.
|
|
* Your preferred contact details for follow up.
|
|
|
|
## Triage and Response Targets
|
|
|
|
The project operates with response targets aligned to practical delivery realities:
|
|
|
|
* **Acknowledgement:** within 3 business days.
|
|
* **Initial triage:** within 10 business days.
|
|
* **Fix plan:** communicated once severity is confirmed.
|
|
|
|
These targets are not guarantees. Complex issues, supply chain considerations, and coordination with upstream vendors may extend timelines.
|
|
|
|
## Severity Assessment
|
|
|
|
Issues are triaged based on business impact and technical exploitability, including:
|
|
|
|
* Remote exploitability and required privileges.
|
|
* Data confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
|
|
* Likelihood of exploitation in typical Joomla deployments.
|
|
* Exposure surface (public endpoints, administrator area, installation flows, and update mechanisms).
|
|
|
|
When appropriate, industry standard scoring such as CVSS may be used for internal prioritization.
|
|
|
|
## Coordinated Disclosure
|
|
|
|
The project follows coordinated vulnerability disclosure:
|
|
|
|
* Reports are treated as confidential until remediation is available.
|
|
* A public advisory may be published once a fix is released.
|
|
* A reasonable embargo period is expected to enable patch distribution.
|
|
|
|
If you believe disclosure is time sensitive due to active exploitation, include that assessment and any supporting indicators.
|
|
|
|
## Security Updates and Advisories
|
|
|
|
Security updates are distributed through:
|
|
|
|
* GitHub releases for the repository.
|
|
* GitHub Security Advisories when applicable.
|
|
|
|
Advisories may include:
|
|
|
|
* Affected versions and fixed versions.
|
|
* Mitigations and workarounds when a fix is not immediately available.
|
|
* Upgrade guidance.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies and Supply Chain Controls
|
|
|
|
The project aims to manage supply chain risk through:
|
|
|
|
* Pinning and review of workflow dependencies where feasible.
|
|
* Minimizing privileged GitHub token permissions.
|
|
* Validating build inputs prior to packaging releases.
|
|
|
|
If you identify a supply chain issue (for example compromised action, dependency confusion, or malicious upstream artifact), report it as a vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
## Secure Development and CI Expectations
|
|
|
|
Security posture is reinforced through operational controls:
|
|
|
|
* CI validation for packaging inputs and manifest integrity.
|
|
* Consistent path normalization and whitespace hygiene checks where required for release correctness.
|
|
* Least privilege for GitHub Actions permissions.
|
|
|
|
This policy does not guarantee that all vulnerabilities will be prevented. It defines how risk is managed when issues are discovered.
|
|
|
|
## Safe Harbor
|
|
|
|
The project supports good faith security research. When you:
|
|
|
|
* Avoid privacy violations, data destruction, and service disruption.
|
|
* Limit testing to systems you own or have explicit permission to test.
|
|
* Provide a reasonable window for coordinated disclosure.
|
|
|
|
Then the project will treat your report as a constructive security contribution.

|
## Public Communications
|
|
|
|
Only maintainers will publish security advisories or public statements for confirmed vulnerabilities. Public communication will focus on actionable remediation and operational risk reduction.
|

|
|
## Acknowledgements
|
|
|
|
If you want credit, include the name or handle to list in an advisory. If you prefer anonymity, state that explicitly.
