docs: Complete security review for v1.0.0
Conduct comprehensive security review covering: - Credential handling: Uses boto3 credential chain, no hardcoded secrets - Input validation: Array bounds checking, path sanitization - SSH security: No shell injection, proper subprocess handling - File system security: Config in ~/.config/, proper path handling - Subprocess security: List arguments, no shell=True - Dependency security: pip-audit and bandit pass - Error handling: No sensitive data in error messages Add SECURITY.md with: - Security reporting process - Security measures documentation - Accepted risks with justification Closes #34 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Reporting a Vulnerability
11+
12+
If you discover a security vulnerability in this project, please report it by emailing the maintainers directly. Do not create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.
13+
14+
Please include:
15+
- Description of the vulnerability
16+
- Steps to reproduce
17+
- Potential impact
18+
- Suggested fix (if any)
19+
20+
We will respond within 48 hours and work with you to understand and address the issue.
21+
22+
## Security Measures
23+
24+
### Credential Handling
25+
26+
- AWS credentials are managed through boto3's standard credential chain
27+
- No credentials are stored in config files or logged
28+
- The config file only stores preferences (instance names, SSH user, etc.)
29+
- Environment variables and AWS credential files are used per AWS best practices
30+
31+
### Input Validation
32+
33+
- All user input is validated before use
34+
- Instance names and resource IDs are validated against AWS patterns
35+
- Array indices are bounds-checked to prevent index errors
36+
- File paths are validated before file operations
37+
38+
### SSH Security
39+
40+
- SSH commands are constructed as argument lists (no shell injection risk)
41+
- `subprocess.run()` is used without `shell=True`
42+
- Default SSH behavior uses `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` (secure)
43+
- The `--no-strict-host-key` flag is available but documented as less secure
44+
45+
### File System Security
46+
47+
- Config files are stored in `~/.config/remote.py/`
48+
- File paths with spaces are properly quoted
49+
- No arbitrary file operations from user input
50+
51+
### Subprocess Security
52+
53+
- Only SSH subprocess calls are made
54+
- No shell command execution with user-controlled input
55+
- Subprocess calls use list arguments, not string formatting
56+
57+
### Dependency Security
58+
59+
- Dependencies are regularly audited with `pip-audit`
60+
- Static analysis is performed with `bandit`
61+
- Pre-push hooks run security checks automatically
62+
63+
## Accepted Risks
64+
65+
### B311: Standard pseudo-random generators
66+
67+
The `random` module is used for generating instance name suggestions. This is not a security-sensitive operation as these are just display suggestions, not cryptographic keys.
68+
69+
### B404/B603: Subprocess usage
70+
71+
Subprocess is required for SSH connections. The implementation is secure:
72+
- Uses list arguments (not shell strings)
73+
- No `shell=True`
74+
- User input is not directly interpolated into commands
75+
76+
## Security Tools
77+
78+
The following tools are integrated into the development workflow:
79+
80+
```bash
81+
# Dependency vulnerability scanning
82+
uv run pip-audit
83+
84+
# Static security analysis
85+
uv run bandit -r remote/
86+
87+
# These run automatically on git push via pre-commit hooks
88+
```
