# Security Policy for Terminal Interface Module

This document outlines security procedures and policies for the Terminal Interface 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: Terminal Interface 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 `terminal_interface` module within the Codomyrmex project.

## Threat Model

### Security Considerations

1. **Command Injection**

    - **Threat**: User input in terminal interfaces could be used to execute arbitrary commands
    - **Mitigation**: Validate and sanitize all user inputs, use safe command construction methods, implement input validation

2. **Information Disclosure**

    - **Threat**: Terminal output or logs may expose sensitive information such as credentials or system paths
    - **Mitigation**: Mask sensitive information in output, implement secure logging, sanitize error messages

3. **History Exposure**

    - **Threat**: Command history may contain sensitive information such as passwords or API keys
    - **Mitigation**: Filter sensitive commands from history, implement secure history storage, clear history on sensitive operations

4. **Terminal Session Hijacking**

    - **Threat**: Unauthorized access to terminal sessions could allow command execution
    - **Mitigation**: Use secure terminal protocols, implement session authentication, implement session timeouts

5. **Input Validation**
    - **Threat**: Malformed or malicious input could cause unexpected behavior or security issues
    - **Mitigation**: Validate all user inputs, implement proper error handling, use safe parsing methods

## Best Practices for Using This Module

-   Always use the latest stable version of the module.
-   Validate and sanitize all user inputs before processing.
-   Mask sensitive information in terminal output and logs.
-   Implement secure command history management.
-   Use secure terminal protocols for remote access.
-   Follow the principle of least privilege when configuring terminal permissions.
-   Implement session timeouts and proper session management.
-   Regularly audit terminal access logs for suspicious activity.
-   Clear sensitive information from command history.
-   Use secure channels for terminal communications.

Thank you for helping keep Codomyrmex and the Terminal Interface module secure.
