Security: E-Conners-Lab/NetPlanner

Security

SECURITY.md

Security Policy

NetPlanner is built to a strict secure-by-default standard (authentication, ownership scoping, CSRF, rate limiting, prompt-injection boundaries, and a hardened CI gate). We take security reports seriously and appreciate responsible disclosure.

Supported versions

NetPlanner is pre-1.0 and ships from main. Security fixes land on main; there is no separate LTS branch yet.

Version Supported
main
older tags ❌ (upgrade to main)

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security problems.

Report privately through GitHub's "Report a vulnerability" button under the repository's Security tab (GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting). This opens a private advisory visible only to the maintainers.

Please include:

  • A description of the issue and the impact you believe it has.
  • Steps to reproduce (a minimal proof-of-concept is ideal).
  • Affected component(s) — e.g. backend/app/auth.py, the Advisor agent, the PDF renderer — and any relevant configuration.
  • Your assessment of severity, if you have one.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement: within 3 business days.
  • Triage & initial assessment: within 7 business days.
  • Fix timeline: communicated after triage; critical issues are prioritized. We will keep you updated and credit you in the advisory once a fix ships, unless you prefer to remain anonymous.

Scope

In scope:

  • Authentication / session handling, CSRF, and authorization (cross-user access) in the backend API.
  • Prompt-injection and tool-capability boundaries in the AI agents (backend/app/agents/).
  • PDF generation / file handling (backend/app/services/pdf.py, report.py).
  • Secret handling and dependency vulnerabilities.

Out of scope:

  • Findings that require a compromised host, a malicious local operator, or physical access.
  • Denial of service from unrealistic request volumes against a single-tenant local deployment.
  • Issues in third-party dependencies that are already publicly known and tracked upstream (please still let us know if we are shipping a vulnerable pin).

A note on intended use

NetPlanner is advisory software: every output — TCO models, vendor comparisons, pricing — is a recommendation for human review, not an automated financial or procurement action. Treat its output accordingly.
