# Security Policy for API Documentation Module

This document outlines security procedures and policies for the API Documentation 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: API Documentation 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 `api_documentation` module within the Codomyrmex project.

## Threat Model

### Security Considerations

1. **Code Analysis Risks**
   - **Threat**: Processing untrusted codebases may expose sensitive information or execute malicious code during analysis
   - **Mitigation**: Use read-only file access, validate file paths, and limit analysis to safe operations

2. **Information Disclosure**
   - **Threat**: Generated documentation may inadvertently expose sensitive information (API keys, credentials, internal paths)
   - **Mitigation**: Sanitize extracted content, filter sensitive patterns, and provide configurable redaction options

3. **Path Traversal**
   - **Threat**: Malicious file paths could allow access to unauthorized files
   - **Mitigation**: Validate and normalize all file paths, use absolute path resolution, restrict to project boundaries

4. **OpenAPI Generation Risks**
   - **Threat**: Generated OpenAPI specs may expose internal API endpoints or sensitive schemas
   - **Mitigation**: Provide filtering options for endpoints, sanitize response examples, validate schema content

## Best Practices for Using This Module

- Always use the latest stable version of the module.
- Review generated documentation before publication to ensure no sensitive information is exposed.
- Use read-only access when analyzing codebases.
- Validate file paths and restrict analysis scope to trusted directories.
- Configure redaction rules for sensitive information in generated documentation.
- Follow the principle of least privilege when configuring access or permissions.

Thank you for helping keep Codomyrmex and the API Documentation module secure.
