| 3 | +## Reporting a Vulnerability |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +If you discover a security vulnerability in the MGD Software Updater Skill or its templates, please report it responsibly. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### Reporting Process |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +1. **Do NOT open a public GitHub issue** for security vulnerabilities |
| 10 | +2. Send an email to the contact listed in [IMPRESSUM.md](IMPRESSUM.md) with: |
| 11 | + - Description of the vulnerability |
| 12 | + - Steps to reproduce |
| 13 | + - Potential impact |
| 14 | + - Suggested fix (if applicable) |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +3. Allow **7-14 days** for a response and patch development |
| 17 | +4. Credit will be given upon public disclosure (with your permission) |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### Response Timeline |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- **Day 1**: Acknowledgment of report |
| 22 | +- **Day 3-5**: Initial assessment and triage |
| 23 | +- **Day 7-14**: Fix development and testing |
| 24 | +- **Day 14+**: Public disclosure and release of patched version |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +--- |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Security Best Practices |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### For Users of This Skill |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +When implementing update systems based on this Skill: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +1. **Always use HTTPS** for manifest and download URLs (enforced in v1.1.0+) |
| 35 | +2. **Validate checksums** before installation (SHA256 minimum) |
| 36 | +3. **Sign your releases** (Code-signing for Level 4+ maturity) |
| 37 | +4. **Test thoroughly** on staging before production rollout |
| 38 | +5. **Monitor downloads** and crash rates post-release |
| 39 | +6. **Keep backups** of previous versions for rollback |
| 40 | +7. **Audit logs** for update transactions |
| 41 | +8. **Encrypt sensitive data** in transit and at rest |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### For this Repository |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +- All external URLs enforce HTTPS protocol validation |
| 46 | +- Manifest JSON structure is validated before processing |
| 47 | +- Checksums are verified against expected hashes |
| 48 | +- No sensitive credentials are stored in templates |
| 49 | +- Code examples follow security best practices |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +--- |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## Known Limitations |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### v1.1.0 |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +- URL validation checks protocol only (not DNS rebinding attacks) |
| 58 | +- Checksum verification uses SHA256 (SHA-512 recommended for Level 5) |
| 59 | +- Certificate pinning not yet implemented (recommended for Level 4+) |
| 60 | +- No automatic rollback on failure (manual intervention required) |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### Roadmap (Future Versions) |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +- [ ] Certificate pinning support |
| 65 | +- [ ] Automatic rollback decision logic |
| 66 | +- [ ] Multi-signature support |
| 67 | +- [ ] Update encryption |
| 68 | +- [ ] Rate limiting and DDoS protection |
| 69 | +- [ ] Audit log encryption |

| 73 | +## Compliance |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +This Skill addresses requirements for: |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +- **OWASP**: Secure coding practices |
| 78 | +- **DSGVO/GDPR**: Data protection guidelines (see `wiki/08-DSGVO-Datenschutz.md`) |
| 79 | +- **BSI**: German security standards |
| 80 | +- **PCI DSS**: If handling payment-related updates |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +For specific compliance needs, consult the relevant documentation in `/wiki`. |
