Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in the RooCode Network Engineering System, please email security@example.com instead of using the public issue tracker. This allows us to address the vulnerability before it becomes public knowledge.

When reporting a vulnerability, please include:

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Potential impact
  • Suggested fix (if available)

We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours and will provide an estimated timeline for a fix.

Security Best Practices

When using this system, please follow these security practices:

Credentials and Secrets

  • Never include credentials, API keys, or sensitive information in YAML files
  • Use environment variables or secure secret management for credentials
  • Do not commit .env files or other credential files
  • Always sanitize logs before sharing with others

Network Engineering Context

  • Be cautious when running diagnostic scripts in production environments
  • Test scripts in lab environments first
  • Ensure proper change management procedures are followed
  • Use appropriate authentication and authorization controls

AWS Integration

  • Follow AWS IAM best practices (principle of least privilege)
  • Use temporary credentials with appropriate time limits
  • Enable CloudTrail logging for audit purposes
  • Review and validate IAM policies regularly

Configuration Security

RooCode Modes

  • Keep custom modes updated with the latest security patches
  • Review specialist configurations before importing
  • Validate YAML syntax before importing large mode files

Offline Scripts

  • Review generated diagnostic scripts before execution
  • Ensure proper SSH key authentication is configured
  • Use jump hosts or bastion hosts for production access
  • Maintain logs of all script executions for audit trails

Updating and Patching

  • Regularly check for updates to this system
  • Review context files for latest protocol/service information
  • Update specialists and orchestrators as improvements are released
  • Test updates in non-production environments first

Third-Party Dependencies

This project uses YAML files and markdown documentation. While there are no direct code dependencies, be aware of:

  • RooCode platform security and updates
  • Credentials for external services (AWS, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
  • Network security for executing diagnostic scripts
