Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

We take the security of the UI Library seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

DO NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security issues to:

What to Include

Please include the following information:

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Potential impact
  • Suggested fix (if available)
  • Your contact information

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Status Update: Within 7 days
  • Fix Timeline: Depends on severity (critical issues within 7-14 days)

Security Best Practices

For Library Maintainers

1. Dependency Management

  • Audit regularly:

    npm audit
    npm audit fix
  • Use Dependabot: Automatically configured in .github/dependabot.yml

  • Review dependency updates: Don't blindly accept all updates

  • Pin critical dependencies: Consider exact versions for security-critical packages

2. npm Publishing Security

  • Enable 2FA: Required for all maintainers

    npm profile enable-2fa auth-and-writes
  • Use Provenance: Already configured in package.json

    {
      "publishConfig": {
        "provenance": true
      }
    }
  • Publish from CI/CD: Use GitHub Actions instead of local machines

  • Review before publish:

    npm pack --dry-run

3. Code Security

  • TypeScript strict mode: Catch potential bugs at compile time
  • ESLint rules: Configured with security-focused rules
  • Input validation: Always validate and sanitize user inputs
  • XSS Prevention: React's JSX escapes by default, but be cautious with dangerouslySetInnerHTML

4. Access Control

  • Limit npm publishers: Only trusted maintainers
  • GitHub branch protection: Required reviews on main
  • Secrets management: Use GitHub Secrets, never commit credentials

For Library Users

1. Installation

  • Verify package integrity:

    npm install @your-org/ui-library --check-integrity
  • Check provenance:

    npm view @your-org/ui-library --json
  • Use lock files: Commit package-lock.json or yarn.lock

2. Updates

  • Review changelogs: Before updating versions
  • Test before deploying: Don't update directly in production
  • Use version ranges carefully: Consider ~ (patch) or ^ (minor) updates
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@your-org/ui-library": "^1.2.0" // Allows 1.x.x updates
  }
}

3. Content Security Policy (CSP)

If using CSP, allow styles from the library:

<meta
  http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"
  content="style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'"
/>

Note: 'unsafe-inline' is needed for Tailwind CSS. Consider using a build process to extract CSS.

Known Security Considerations

1. Modal Component

  • Focus Trap: Prevents keyboard navigation outside modal
  • Escape Key: Always provides a way to close
  • Body Scroll Lock: Prevents background scrolling

2. Input Component

  • Type Validation: Use appropriate type attribute
  • Sanitization: Library does NOT sanitize input (your responsibility)
  • Error Messages: Don't expose sensitive information in error messages

3. CSS Injection

  • className Prop: Be cautious with user-provided classNames
  • Style Props: Not supported to prevent inline style injection

Dependency Audit

Run regular security audits:

# Check for vulnerabilities
npm audit

# Fix fixable issues
npm audit fix

# Generate audit report
npm audit --json > audit-report.json

Automated Audits

The CI pipeline runs npm audit on every push. Check the Actions tab for results.

Vulnerability Disclosure Timeline

  1. Day 0: Vulnerability reported
  2. Day 1-2: Initial triage and response
  3. Day 3-7: Investigation and fix development
  4. Day 7-14: Testing and review
  5. Day 14: Public disclosure and patch release

Timeline may vary based on severity and complexity.
