EigenScript is currently in alpha development. Security updates are provided for the following versions:

EigenScript is an experimental alpha language and should NOT be used for:

• Production systems
• Critical infrastructure
• Security-sensitive applications
• Processing untrusted user input in production environments

1. Sandboxing: EigenScript does not currently provide sandboxing for code execution. Malicious code can access the filesystem and system resources.

2. Input Validation: While basic input validation exists, comprehensive security hardening for untrusted input is not yet implemented.

3. Resource Limits: No built-in resource limits (CPU, memory, recursion depth) beyond Python's defaults.

4. File I/O: File operations have access to the entire filesystem based on the running process's permissions.

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

Subject Line: [SECURITY] Brief description of the issue

Please include the following information in your report:

1. Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
2. Impact: What could an attacker achieve?
3. Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
4. Proof of Concept: If possible, include a minimal EigenScript program demonstrating the vulnerability
5. Affected Versions: Which versions are affected?
6. Suggested Fix: If you have suggestions for fixing the issue

• Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours
• Assessment: We will assess the vulnerability and determine its severity
• Timeline: We aim to provide an initial response within 7 days
• Fix: Critical vulnerabilities will be prioritized for immediate fixes
• Credit: We will credit you in the CHANGELOG and security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

Please do NOT publicly disclose the vulnerability until:

1. We have confirmed and assessed the issue
2. A fix has been prepared and released
3. We have agreed on a disclosure timeline

We request a minimum of 30 days before public disclosure to allow time for fixes and user updates.

If you're using EigenScript, follow these best practices:

1. Do NOT run untrusted code: Only execute EigenScript programs from trusted sources
2. Validate Input: Always validate and sanitize user input before processing
3. Limit File Access: Run EigenScript with minimal filesystem permissions
4. Update Regularly: Keep EigenScript updated to the latest version
5. Review Dependencies: Regularly audit Python dependencies for vulnerabilities

EigenScript is NOT production-ready. If you absolutely must use it in a production-like environment:

1. Isolate: Run in a sandboxed container (Docker, VM)
2. Restrict: Use process isolation and resource limits
3. Monitor: Log all execution and monitor for suspicious activity
4. Network: Disable network access if not needed
5. Backup: Maintain backups of critical data

• ✅ No arbitrary code execution via string evaluation (no eval() equivalent)
• ✅ No shell command execution capabilities
• ✅ Type safety through LRVM vector space
• ✅ Dependency security: Only numpy as runtime dependency
• ✅ Static code analysis in CI pipeline

• 🔜 Sandboxing for code execution
• 🔜 Resource limits (CPU time, memory, recursion depth)
• 🔜 File access restrictions and whitelisting
• 🔜 Input validation framework
• 🔜 Security audit and penetration testing
• 🔜 Formal security documentation

Confirmed vulnerabilities will be:

1. Fixed: Patched in the next release
2. Documented: Listed in CHANGELOG.md
3. Announced: Published as GitHub Security Advisory
4. Credited: Reporter credited (with permission)

When contributing code, ensure:

• No use of eval(), exec(), or similar dynamic code execution
• Input validation for all external inputs
• No bare except: clauses (use except Exception:)
• No SQL injection vectors (N/A currently, but for future database support)
• No path traversal vulnerabilities in file operations
• Dependencies checked with safety and bandit
• Security scan passes in CI pipeline

Note: This security policy will be updated as EigenScript matures and additional security features are implemented.
