DO NOT CREATE AN ISSUE to report a security problem. Instead, please send an email to coreteam@codethesaur.us.
The security point of contact is Sarah Withee. Sarah responds to security incident reports as fast as possible, within one business day at the latest.
If she doesn't respond within two days, please try emailing again.
In case an incident is discovered or reported, I will follow the following process to contain, respond and remediate:
The first step is to find out the root cause, nature and scope of the incident.
- Is still ongoing? If yes, first priority is to stop it.
- Is the incident outside of my influence? If yes, first priority is to contain it.
- Find out knows about the incident and who is affected.
- Find out what data was potentially exposed.
One way to immediately remove all access for the WIP app is to remove the private key from the WIP App Settings page. The access can be recovered later by generating a new private key and re-deploy the app.
After the initial assessment and containment to my best abilities, I will document all actions taken in a response plan.
I will create a comment in the issues to inform users about the incident and what I actions I took to contain it.
Once the incident is confirmed to be resolved, I will summarize the lessons learned from the incident and create a list of actions I will take to prevent it from happening again.
