Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

  1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
  2. Email us at: security@connecto.app
  3. Include as much detail as possible:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Any suggested fixes (optional)

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgment: We'll acknowledge your report within 24-48 hours
  • Status Update: We'll keep you updated on our progress
  • Resolution: We'll work to fix the vulnerability and release a patch
  • Credit: With your permission, we'll credit you in the security advisory

Disclosure Policy

  • We follow a coordinated disclosure process
  • We request that you give us reasonable time to address the vulnerability before public disclosure
  • We aim to release a fix within 30 days of confirmed vulnerability

Security Best Practices

For Users

  • Use strong passwords: At least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols
  • Enable 2FA: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security
  • Keep credentials private: Never share your login credentials
  • Verify URLs: Always check you're on the official Connecto site
  • Report suspicious activity: Report any suspicious messages or behavior

For Developers

If you're contributing to Connecto:

  • Never commit secrets: Don't commit API keys, passwords, or tokens to version control
  • Use environment variables: Store sensitive data in .env files
  • Validate input: Always validate and sanitize user input
  • Use parameterized queries: Prevent SQL injection by using parameterized queries
  • Follow least privilege: Only request necessary permissions

Security Features

Authentication

  • Secure password hashing using Supabase Auth
  • Email verification for new accounts
  • Session management with secure tokens

Data Protection

  • HTTPS for all connections
  • Row-level security (RLS) in Supabase
  • Data encryption at rest

Privacy

  • Users control their profile visibility
  • Option to delete account and data
  • No third-party data sharing

Known Security Considerations

Client-Side Validation

While we perform client-side validation for better UX, all data is also validated on the server side via Supabase. Never rely solely on client-side validation.

File Uploads

  • File types are validated server-side
  • File size limits are enforced
  • Files are scanned for malware before processing

Rate Limiting

API requests are rate-limited to prevent abuse. If you hit rate limits, wait before making additional requests.

Content Security

User-generated content is sanitized to prevent XSS attacks. We use React's built-in escaping and additional sanitization for rich content.


Security Updates

How to Stay Updated
