We release patches for security vulnerabilities. Which versions are eligible for receiving such patches depends on the CVSS v3.0 Rating:

We take the security of our retail analytics project seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us as described below.

Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

4. Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
5. Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
6. Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

After you submit a report, you can expect:

1. Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 48 hours
2. Investigation: We will investigate the issue and determine its impact and severity
3. Updates: We will send you regular updates (at least every 5 business days) about our progress
4. Resolution: Once the vulnerability is confirmed, we will:

When using this project:

• Always use parameterized queries (already implemented in our codebase)
• Never commit database credentials to version control
• Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
• Implement principle of least privilege for database users
• Regularly update PostgreSQL to the latest stable version

• Restrict database access to authorized users only
• Use strong passwords and rotate them regularly
• Enable SSL/TLS for database connections in production
• Implement network-level access controls (firewalls, VPNs)

• Anonymize or pseudonymize customer data when possible
• Comply with relevant data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
• Implement data retention policies
• Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit

• Enable PostgreSQL query logging for audit trails
• Monitor for suspicious query patterns
• Set up alerts for failed authentication attempts
• Regularly review access logs

All queries in this repository use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. Never concatenate user input directly into SQL queries.

The sample data in this repository is synthetic and generated for demonstration purposes. Never use production data in development or testing environments.

This project does not include built-in authentication or authorization. Implement these at the application layer when deploying to production.

Security updates will be released as patches to the main branch. Subscribe to repository notifications to stay informed about security releases.
