# Security Policy for Ollama Integration Module

This document outlines security procedures and policies for the Ollama Integration 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: Ollama Integration 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 `ollama_integration` module within the Codomyrmex project.

## Threat Model

### Security Considerations

1. **Local Server Security**
   - **Threat**: Local Ollama server endpoints may be exposed to unauthorized access
   - **Mitigation**: Secure local server endpoints, implement access controls, use firewall rules, bind to localhost by default

2. **Prompt Injection**
   - **Threat**: Malicious prompts could manipulate Ollama model behavior or extract sensitive information
   - **Mitigation**: Validate and sanitize all prompts, implement prompt filtering, use secure prompt templates

3. **Model Output Validation**
   - **Threat**: Ollama model outputs may contain malicious code or sensitive information
   - **Mitigation**: Validate and sanitize model outputs, implement output filtering, use secure output handling

4. **Resource Exhaustion**
   - **Threat**: Excessive model inference requests could consume system resources or cause denial of service
   - **Mitigation**: Implement rate limiting, monitor resource usage, set appropriate timeout and resource limits

5. **Configuration Security**
   - **Threat**: Insecure configuration may expose sensitive settings or allow unauthorized access
   - **Mitigation**: Secure configuration storage, validate configuration values, use secure defaults

6. **Output File Security**
   - **Threat**: Generated output files may contain sensitive information or be accessible to unauthorized users
   - **Mitigation**: Implement proper file permissions, sanitize output content, use secure output directories

## Best Practices for Using This Module

- Always use the latest stable version of the module.
- Secure local Ollama server endpoints and implement proper access controls.
- Validate and sanitize all prompts before sending to Ollama models.
- Implement output validation and sanitization for model responses.
- Implement rate limiting and monitor resource usage to prevent abuse.
- Use secure defaults for Ollama server configuration.
- Follow the principle of least privilege when configuring Ollama access.
- Regularly review model outputs for sensitive information or malicious content.
- Implement proper file permissions for output files and directories.
- Use secure channels for any network communications with Ollama services.

Thank you for helping keep Codomyrmex and the Ollama Integration module secure.
