This project provides security updates for the latest stable release
(v1.0.0). The project is under active development, so pre-release changes may
not receive backported security fixes.
We take the security of GenomeAI seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it privately before disclosing it publicly.
Do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.
Report vulnerabilities privately by opening a GitHub Security Advisory.
- Type of vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce
- Affected versions
- Potential impact
- Suggested mitigation (if known)
We will acknowledge receipt within 5 business days and provide an initial assessment within 14 days. Fix timelines depend on severity and project capacity.
We follow coordinated disclosure:
- Reporter submits vulnerability privately.
- We confirm and develop a fix.
- We release a patched version.
- We publish an advisory 30 days after the fix is released.
GenomeAI is built with the following security principles:
- Least Privilege — Components run with the minimum permissions required.
- Defense in Depth — Multiple layers of security controls.
- Secure Defaults — Safe configuration out of the box.
- Fail Secure — Errors default to denying access.
- Auditability — All security-relevant events are logged.
- Encryption at Rest and in Transit — Data is encrypted everywhere.
The following are planned for implementation but not yet available:
- Attribute-based access control (ABAC)
- mTLS for service-to-service communication
- Audit logging with immutable storage
- Differential privacy primitives
- Container image signing
- Dependency vulnerability scanning
- Signed commits for maintainers
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please follow the reporting process above. We appreciate your help in keeping GenomeAI and its users safe.
