We take the security of Skinet E-Commerce seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, we appreciate your help in disclosing it to us responsibly.

Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please send a detailed report to: [klajdimurati3@gmail.com]

Include the following information in your report:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact of the vulnerability
• Suggested fix (if you have one)
• Your contact information for follow-up questions

• Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 24 hours
• Initial Assessment: We will provide an initial assessment within 72 hours
• Regular Updates: We will keep you informed of our progress at least every 5 business days
• Resolution: We aim to resolve critical vulnerabilities within 7 days

This security policy applies to the following components:

• Main application: The Skinet e-commerce platform
• API endpoints: All REST API endpoints
• Authentication system: JWT token handling and user authentication
• Payment processing: Stripe integration and payment flows
• Database interactions: Entity Framework Core queries and data handling
• File uploads: Any file upload functionality
• Session management: Redis-based session handling

• Third-party dependencies: Vulnerabilities in external libraries (please report to respective maintainers)
• Social engineering attacks
• Physical attacks
• Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
• Issues in development/test environments

We are particularly interested in:

• SQL Injection vulnerabilities
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities
• Authentication bypass vulnerabilities
• Authorization flaws (privilege escalation)
• Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities
• Payment processing vulnerabilities
• Sensitive data exposure

• Information disclosure vulnerabilities
• Business logic flaws
• Session management issues
• Cryptographic weaknesses

• Missing security headers (if not exploitable)
• Clickjacking vulnerabilities
• Open redirects (if not exploitable)

• JWT tokens for stateless authentication
• ASP.NET Core Identity for user management
• Role-based authorization for different user types
• Password hashing using ASP.NET Core Identity defaults
• Token expiration and refresh mechanisms

• Entity Framework Core with parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
• Input validation using data annotations and model validation
• HTTPS enforcement for all communications
• CORS policy configuration
• Sensitive data excluded from client-side responses

• Redis for secure session storage
• Environment variables for sensitive configuration
• Database connection strings secured
• API rate limiting (if implemented)

• Angular security best practices
• Content Security Policy (if implemented)
• XSS protection through Angular's built-in sanitization
• Secure HTTP communication only

1. Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize user inputs
2. Output Encoding: Properly encode outputs to prevent XSS
3. Authentication: Never skip authentication checks
4. Authorization: Implement proper authorization at every level
5. Secrets Management: Never commit secrets to version control
6. Dependencies: Keep dependencies updated and monitor for vulnerabilities
7. Error Handling: Don't expose sensitive information in error messages
8. Logging: Log security events but don't log sensitive data

1. HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production
2. Security Headers: Implement appropriate security headers
3. Database Security: Use least privilege principles for database access
4. Environment Separation: Keep development and production environments separate
5. Backup Security: Secure backup files and database dumps
6. Monitoring: Implement security monitoring and alerting

• Dependency scanning: Monitor for vulnerable dependencies
• Static analysis: Use tools to scan for security vulnerabilities
• Dynamic testing: Implement security testing in CI/CD pipeline

• Code reviews: Include security considerations in code reviews
• Penetration testing: Regular security assessments
• Vulnerability assessments: Periodic security audits

• Input validation implemented for all user inputs
• SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries)
• XSS prevention (proper output encoding)
• CSRF protection implemented
• Authentication required for protected resources
• Authorization checks implemented
• Sensitive data not exposed in API responses
• Error messages don't reveal sensitive information
• Security headers configured
• Dependencies are up to date
• Secrets are not committed to version control

• HTTPS enforced
• Production database secured
• Environment variables configured
• CORS policy properly configured
• Security monitoring enabled
• Backup files secured
• Logging configured (without sensitive data)
• Rate limiting implemented (if applicable)

• Ensure proper environment configuration for production deployment
• Implement additional rate limiting for API endpoints
• Consider implementing additional security headers
• Regular security audits recommended

• Regular dependency updates
• Security monitoring implementation
• Penetration testing planning
• Security training for contributors

• OWASP Top 10
• ASP.NET Core Security
• Angular Security Guide
• Stripe Security Best Practices

• OWASP ZAP - Security testing tool
• SonarQube - Code quality and security analysis
• Snyk - Dependency vulnerability scanning
• npm audit - Node.js dependency security
