Include the following information:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact and severity
• Suggested fix (if available)
• Your contact information

• Initial Response: Within 48 hours
• Status Update: Within 5 business days
• Fix Timeline: Depends on severity
  • Critical: 7 days
  • High: 14 days
  • Medium: 30 days
  • Low: 60 days

Once a fix is available:

1. We will notify you that the issue has been resolved
2. A security advisory will be published on GitHub
3. Credit will be given to the reporter (unless anonymity is requested)

When deploying LampStack in production:

Never commit sensitive credentials:

# Bad - DO NOT DO THIS
MISTRAL_API_KEY=sk-1234567890abcdef

# Good - Use environment variables
MISTRAL_API_KEY=${MISTRAL_API_KEY}

Use strong, randomly generated JWT secrets:

# Generate secure secret
openssl rand -base64 64

1. PostgreSQL:

   • Use strong passwords (16+ characters)
   • Enable SSL/TLS connections
   • Restrict network access (firewall rules)
   • Regular backups with encryption

2. Milvus:

   • Enable authentication in production
   • Use network isolation
   • Encrypt data at rest

1. Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting on all endpoints
2. CORS: Configure allowed origins (avoid * in production)
3. HTTPS: Always use TLS/SSL in production
4. Input Validation: Sanitize all user inputs
5. Authentication: Require JWT tokens for all protected endpoints

Keep dependencies updated:

# Java
./mvnw versions:display-dependency-updates

# Python
pip list --outdated

# Node.js
npm outdated

LampStack integrates with external services:

• Mistral AI: API key required for OCR
• Google Places API: API key for contact validation
• NPI Registry: Public API (no key required)

Recommendation: Use separate API keys per environment (dev/staging/prod) with appropriate usage limits.

Healthcare provider data may include sensitive information:

• Store data encrypted at rest (PostgreSQL encryption)
• Use TLS for data in transit
• Implement access controls and audit logging
• Comply with HIPAA/GDPR regulations if applicable

CSV upload endpoint accepts user files:

• Validate file types (only .csv)
• Limit file size (max 10MB recommended)
• Scan for malicious content
• Use antivirus scanning in production

Real-time notifications via WebSockets:

• Authenticate WebSocket connections
• Validate message payloads
• Implement connection rate limiting

We recommend running security scans:

./mvnw org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check

pip install safety
safety check

npm audit

docker scan lampstack:latest

LampStack can be configured to comply with:

• HIPAA: Healthcare data protection (requires additional configuration)
• GDPR: Data privacy regulations
• SOC 2: Security controls framework
