The __Authelia__ team takes security very seriously. Because __Authelia__ is intended as a security product a lot of
|
|
|
|
|
decisions are made with security being the priority.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Coordinated vulnerability disclosure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
__Authelia__ follows the
|
|
|
|
|
[coordinated vulnerability disclosure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_vulnerability_disclosure) model when
|
|
|
|
|
dealing with security vulnerabilities. This was previously known as responsible disclosure. We strongly urge anyone
|
|
|
|
|
reporting vulnerabilities to __Authelia__ or any other project to follow this model as it is considered as a best
|
|
|
|
|
practice by many in the security industry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you believe you have identified a security related bug with Authelia please do not open an issue, do not notify us in
|
|
|
|
|
public, and do not disclose this issue to third parties. Please use one of the [contact options](#contact-options)
|
|
|
|
|
below.

|
|
|
Please utilize the [security@authelia.com](mailto:team@authelia.com) email address for security issues discovered. This
|
|
|
|
|
email address is only accessible by key members of the team for the purpose of disclosing security issues within the
|
|
|
|
|
__Authelia__ code base.
|

This is the preferred method of reporting.

### Chat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to chat directly instead of sending an email please use one of the [chat options](contact.md#chat) but it
|
|
|
|
|
is vital that when you do that you only do so privately with one of the maintainers. In order to start a private
|
|
|
|
|
discussion you should ask to have a private discussion with a team member without mentioning the reason why you wish to
|
|
|
|
|
have a private discussion so that provided the bug is confirmed we can coordinate the release of fixes and information
|
|
|
|
|
responsibly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Credit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users who report bugs will optionally be credited for the discovery in the
|
|
|
|
|
[security advisory](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/security/advisories) and/or in our
|
|
|
|
|
[all contributors](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/blob/master/README.md#contribute) configuration/documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Process
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. User privately reports a potential vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
|
2. The core team reviews the report and ascertain if additional information is required.
|
|
|
|
|
3. The core team reproduces the bug.
|
|
|
|
|
4. The bug is patched, and if possible the user reporting te bug is given access to a fixed version or git patch.
|
|
|
|
|
5. The fix is confirmed to resolve the vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
|
6. The fix is released.
|
|
|
|
|
7. The security advisory is published sometime after users have had a chance to update.

## Help wanted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are actively looking for sponsorship to obtain security audits to comprehensively ensure the security of Authelia.
|
|
|
|
|
As security is imperative to us we see this as one of the main financial priorities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We believe that we should obtain the following categories of security audits:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Code Security Audit / Analysis
|
|
|
|
|
* Penetration Testing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you know of a company which either performs these kinds of audits and would be willing to sponsor the audit in some
|
|
|
|
|
way such as doing it pro bono or at a discounted rate, or wants to help improve Authelia in a meaningful way and is
|
|
|
|
|
willing to make a financial contribution towards this then please feel free to contact us.
