๐Ÿ”’ Security Policy

๐Ÿง  Overview

NeuroHTTP is an open-source, high-performance AI-native web server built in C and Assembly.
Given its focus on low-level performance and networking, security is a top priority.
This document explains how to responsibly report vulnerabilities and how the team handles them.


๐Ÿ“ฌ Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability, please do not open a public GitHub issue.
Instead, contact the maintainer directly via:

Please include as much detail as possible:

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Potential impact or exploitation scenarios
  • Suggested mitigations (if any)

๐Ÿ•’ Response Timeline

Once a report is received:

  1. Acknowledgment: Youโ€™ll receive a confirmation within 48 hours.
  2. Investigation: The issue will be validated and analyzed (1โ€“5 business days).
  3. Fix & Release: A patch or mitigation will be prepared and tested.
  4. Disclosure: The vulnerability will be responsibly disclosed after a safe update is available.

๐Ÿงฉ Scope

This policy covers:

  • Core server code (src/)
  • Thread and memory management routines
  • Networking stack and protocol handlers (HTTP/3, WebSockets, gRPC)
  • Plugin and module interface (plugins/)
  • Authentication, API key, and token mechanisms

It does not cover:

  • Third-party libraries used (e.g., mbedTLS, protobuf-c)
  • User-created plugins or modifications

๐Ÿค Responsible Disclosure

We strongly encourage responsible, coordinated disclosure. Security researchers who follow this policy will receive full credit in release notes and acknowledgments.

If youโ€™ve found something critical, your contribution may also be featured in the "Security Hall of Fame" section of the README.
