This repository contains documentation and specifications only. There is no executable code in this repository that could pose a security risk.

If you find any issues with the documentation that could lead to security vulnerabilities in implementations (e.g., insecure API design patterns, missing authentication considerations, etc.), please:

1. Do NOT open a public issue
2. Email the maintainers directly or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting
3. Provide a clear description of the concern and potential impact

When implementing RevertIQ based on these specifications, pay special attention to:

• Implement proper API key management (see 02-api-specification.md)
• Never hardcode API keys or secrets
• Use environment variables or secure secret management systems
• Implement rate limiting per tenant

• Market data should be treated as sensitive business information
• Implement proper access controls for analysis results
• Use TLS 1.2+ for all API communications
• Encrypt data at rest (database, object storage)

• Validate all API inputs per the specification
• Implement proper error handling without leaking sensitive information
• Sanitize user inputs to prevent injection attacks
• Set reasonable limits on request sizes and complexity

• Implement HMAC signature verification for webhooks
• Use replay protection mechanisms
• Validate webhook URLs before sending data

• Keep all dependencies up to date
• Regularly audit dependencies for known vulnerabilities
• Use dependency scanning tools in your CI/CD pipeline

This is an educational exercise. The specifications are provided as-is for learning purposes. Implementers are responsible for ensuring their implementations follow security best practices appropriate for their use case and environment.

Do not use implementations for production trading without thorough security audits and risk assessments.
