If you discover a security vulnerability within HA Device Manager, please send an email to the maintainers. All security vulnerabilities will be promptly addressed.

Please do not open public issues for security vulnerabilities.

IMPORTANT: The current v0.1.0 release is a Proof of Concept (POC) with authentication disabled for development purposes.

In custom_components/device_manager/api.py, all views have:

requires_auth = False  # Development mode only

For production deployment:

1. This should be changed to requires_auth = True
2. Or implement environment-based configuration
3. Or wait for future releases with proper authentication handling

✅ Secured:

• No hardcoded credentials in source code
• Secrets excluded via .gitignore (.env, *.key, *.pem)
• Pre-commit hooks detect private keys (detect-private-key)
• Database operations use parameterized queries (SQL injection protection)

⚠️ Development Mode:

• API endpoints accessible without authentication
• Intended for local development environments only
• Not recommended for production without modifications

🔒 Recommended for Production:

• Enable requires_auth = True in all API views
• Use Home Assistant's built-in authentication system
• Deploy behind reverse proxy with HTTPS
• Restrict network access to trusted sources
• Regular security audits and updates

When deploying HA Device Manager:

1. Review Authentication: Check all requires_auth settings in api.py
2. Use HTTPS: Always use encrypted connections in production
3. Update Dependencies: Keep all dependencies up to date
4. Monitor Logs: Watch for unusual API access patterns
5. Backup Database: Regular backups of device_manager.db

Planned for future releases:

• Environment-based authentication configuration
• API rate limiting
• Audit logging for CRUD operations
• Input validation enhancements
• CSRF token support
• Role-based access control (RBAC)

For contributors:

• Pre-commit hooks enforce security checks
• GitHub Actions CI validates all code
• Dependencies scanned for known vulnerabilities
• Code review required for all changes

For security concerns, contact: GitHub Issues (public) or maintainer email (private vulnerabilities)
