# Security Policy for Containerization Module

This document outlines security procedures and policies for the Containerization module.

## Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability within this module, please report it to us as soon as possible.
We take all security reports seriously.

**DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**

Instead, please email the project maintainers with the subject line: "SECURITY Vulnerability Report: Containerization Module - Security Issue".

Please include the following information in your report:

- A description of the vulnerability and its potential impact.
- Steps to reproduce the vulnerability, including any specific configurations or conditions required.
- Any proof-of-concept code or examples.
- The version(s) of the module affected.
- Your name and contact information (optional).

We aim to acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 2-3 business days and will work with you to understand and remediate the issue.

## Security Updates

Security patches and updates for this module will be documented in the project CHANGELOG and released as part of regular version updates. Critical vulnerabilities may warrant out-of-band releases.

## Scope

This security policy applies only to the `containerization` module within the Codomyrmex project.

## Threat Model

### Security Considerations

1. **Container Image Security**
   - **Threat**: Vulnerable or malicious container images could introduce security vulnerabilities
   - **Mitigation**: Scan images for vulnerabilities, use trusted base images, implement image signing and verification

2. **Container Escape**
   - **Threat**: Containers may escape isolation and access host system resources
   - **Mitigation**: Use proper container isolation, implement security policies, restrict container capabilities

3. **Registry Security**
   - **Threat**: Compromised container registries could distribute malicious images
   - **Mitigation**: Use secure registries with authentication, verify image signatures, implement access controls

4. **Secret Exposure**
   - **Threat**: Secrets stored in container images or environment variables may be exposed
   - **Mitigation**: Use secret management systems, avoid hardcoding secrets, implement proper secret rotation

5. **Network Security**
   - **Threat**: Unrestricted container networking could allow unauthorized access
   - **Mitigation**: Implement network policies, use network segmentation, restrict container network access

6. **Kubernetes Security**
   - **Threat**: Misconfigured Kubernetes deployments could expose sensitive resources
   - **Mitigation**: Implement RBAC, use security contexts, apply network policies, regular security audits

## Best Practices for Using This Module

- Always use the latest stable version of the module.
- Scan container images for vulnerabilities before deployment.
- Use trusted base images from official sources.
- Implement proper container isolation and security policies.
- Store secrets securely and never embed them in container images.
- Use secure container registries with authentication and access controls.
- Implement network policies to restrict container communications.
- Follow the principle of least privilege when configuring container permissions.
- Regularly update container images and base images for security patches.
- Monitor container runtime activities for suspicious behavior.

Thank you for helping keep Codomyrmex and the Containerization module secure.
