Reporting a Vulnerability

We take the security of MathProtocol seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it by emailing the repository owner or opening a private security advisory on GitHub.

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Potential impact
  • Suggested fix (if available)

  • We will provide a detailed response within 5 business days
  • We will work on a fix and release it as soon as possible
  • We will credit you for the discovery (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

Security Best Practices

When using MathProtocol:

  1. Input Validation: Always validate inputs through the MathProtocol validation methods
  2. No Code Execution: Never use eval() or exec() on user-provided inputs
  3. Error Handling: Handle errors gracefully without exposing internal system details
  4. Logging: Log security-relevant events for audit purposes
  5. Dependencies: Keep all dependencies up to date
  6. Least Privilege: Run the protocol with minimal necessary permissions

Known Security Considerations

  • Prompt Injection Prevention: The mathematical protocol design prevents traditional prompt injection attacks by enforcing strict code-based communication
  • Input Sanitization: All inputs must pass strict mathematical validation before processing
  • Output Validation: All outputs follow deterministic formats based on mathematical sets
