Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security bugs seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings, and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

To report a security vulnerability, please email us at security@rustlayersystem.org with the following information:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact of the vulnerability
• Any possible mitigations you’ve identified

Security Measures

Authentication

• JWT-based authentication with rotating tokens
• OAuth2 support for third-party integrations
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) support
• Session management with secure expiration

Authorization

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
• Fine-grained permissions system
• Audit trail for all access attempts

Data Protection

• AES-256 encryption for data at rest
• TLS 1.3 for data in transit
• Secure key management using hardware security modules
• Regular key rotation policies

Network Security

• Firewall rules and network segmentation
• DDoS protection measures
• Rate limiting and request throttling
• IP whitelisting/blacklisting capabilities

Application Security

• Input validation and sanitization
• Output encoding to prevent injection attacks
• Secure error handling (no information leakage)
• Protection against common OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

Infrastructure Security

• Regular security scanning and penetration testing
• Automated security updates for dependencies
• Immutable infrastructure where possible
• Principle of least privilege for all services

Security Best Practices

For Developers

1. Always validate and sanitize user inputs
2. Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
3. Implement proper error handling without exposing sensitive information
4. Follow the principle of least privilege for all operations
5. Regularly update dependencies and monitor for CVEs

For Operators

1. Enable and configure all security features
2. Regularly rotate credentials and certificates
3. Monitor logs for suspicious activities
4. Implement network segmentation
5. Conduct regular security audits

Compliance

Our system is designed to help customers meet various compliance requirements including:

• GDPR
• HIPAA
• SOC 2
• PCI DSS

Specific compliance features include:

• Data encryption
• Audit logging
• Access controls
• Data retention policies
• Privacy by design

Incident Response

In case of a security incident:

1. Containment: Isolate affected systems
2. Investigation: Determine scope and impact
3. Eradication: Remove threats and vulnerabilities
4. Recovery: Restore systems to normal operation
5. Lessons Learned: Update procedures to prevent recurrence

For critical incidents, we will notify affected parties within 72 hours.
