Security Features

Built-in Security Measures

The Agentic QE framework includes several security features by default:

1. AgentDB Integration Security (v1.2.0+)

TLS 1.3 Encryption: All QUIC connections use TLS 1.3 by default
- Certificate Validation: Mandatory certificate validation for all connections
- - Connection Authentication: Secure agent-to-agent communication
  - - Sub-millisecond Latency: <1ms secure communication overhead
    - 2. Dependency Security
    - - Regular Audits: Automated dependency vulnerability scanning
      - Minimal Dependencies: 89 packages removed in v1.2.0 (7.3MB reduction)
        
        Trusted Sources: All dependencies from verified npm registry sources
        
        Lock File: package-lock.json ensures reproducible builds
        
        3. Data Protection
        
        Local Storage: SQLite database stored locally (.aqe/memory.db)
        
        No External Transmissions: Learning data and patterns stay on your system
        
        Encryption at Rest: Optional database encryption for sensitive data
        
        Memory Isolation: Agent memory stores are isolated by agent ID
        
        4. API Security
        
        Authentication: Optional API key authentication for MCP server
        
        Rate Limiting: Built-in rate limiting for API endpoints
        
        CORS Configuration: Configurable cross-origin resource sharing
        
        Input Validation: All API inputs are validated and sanitized
        
        5. Code Security
        
        TypeScript: Strong typing prevents many common vulnerabilities
        
        No Eval: Zero use of eval() or dynamic code execution
        
        Input Sanitization: All external inputs are validated
        
        Path Traversal Protection: Safe file system operations
        
        Reporting a Vulnerability
        
        We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please follow these steps:
        
        1. DO NOT Open a Public Issue
        
        Security vulnerabilities should not be reported through public GitHub issues to prevent exploitation before a fix is available.
        
        2. Report via Private Channel
        
        Email: security@agentic-qe.com Subject: [SECURITY] Brief description of issue
        
        Include in your report:
        
        Description of the vulnerability
        
        Steps to reproduce the issue
        
        Potential impact and severity assessment
        
        Affected versions
        
        Any suggested fixes (if applicable)
        
        Your contact information for follow-up
        
        3. Response Timeline
        
        | Timeline | Action |
        
        | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
        
        | 24 hours | Acknowledgment of your report |
        
        | 7 days | Initial assessment and severity classification |
        
        | 30 days | Fix development and testing (for critical issues) |
        
        | 90 days | Public disclosure (after patch release) |
        
        4. Severity Classification
        
        We use the following severity levels:
        
        CRITICAL: Remote code execution, authentication bypass, data breach
        
        HIGH: Privilege escalation, SQL injection, XSS
        
        MEDIUM: Information disclosure, denial of service
        
        LOW: Minor information leaks, non-exploitable bugs
        
        5. Security Advisory Process
        
        Private Fix: We develop and test the fix privately
        
        Security Advisory: We create a GitHub Security Advisory
        
        Patch Release: We release a patched version
        
        Public Disclosure: We publish the advisory with details
        
        Credit: We credit the reporter (unless they prefer anonymity)
        
        Security Best Practices
        
        For Users
        
        1. Keep Dependencies Updated
        
        # Check for updates npm outdated # Update to latest stable version npm update agentic-qe # Audit dependencies npm audit npm audit fix
        2. Secure Configuration
        
        # config/fleet.yaml - Production settings security: # Enable TLS 1.3 for all connections tlsVersion: "1.3" # Require certificate validation validateCertificates: true # Enable database encryption databaseEncryption: true encryptionKey: "${AQE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY}" # Use environment variable # API authentication apiAuth: enabled: true apiKey: "${AQE_API_KEY}" # Use environment variable # Rate limiting rateLimit: enabled: true maxRequests: 100 windowMs: 60000 # 1 minute
        3. Environment Variables
        
        # .env - NEVER commit this file AQE_DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-secure-random-key-here AQE_API_KEY=your-secure-api-key-here # Use strong random keys openssl rand -base64 32
        4. File Permissions
        
        # Secure your configuration files chmod 600 .env chmod 600 config/fleet.yaml chmod 700 .aqe/ # Verify permissions ls -la .env config/ .aqe/
        5. AI Model API Keys
        
        # Store API keys securely in environment variables export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..." # Never hardcode in configuration files # Never commit to version control
        6. Network Security
        
        # Restrict API access api: host: "127.0.0.1" # Localhost only port: 3000 # Or use specific IP whitelist allowedIPs: - "192.168.1.0/24" - "10.0.0.0/8"
        7. Audit Logging
        
        # Enable comprehensive audit logging logging: level: "info" auditLog: true auditFile: ".aqe/audit.log" # Log sensitive operations auditEvents: - "agent_spawn" - "database_access" - "pattern_export" - "api_access"
        For Contributors
        
        1. Code Review Requirements
        
        All PRs require security review for changes to:
        
        Authentication/authorization logic
        
        Database operations
        
        File system operations
        
        Network communications
        
        External API integrations
        
        2. Security Testing
        
        # Run security tests before committing npm run test:security # Check for common vulnerabilities npm audit # Static analysis npm run lint:security
        3. Secure Coding Guidelines
        
        Input Validation: Validate all user inputs and external data
        
        Output Encoding: Encode output to prevent injection attacks
        
        Parameterized Queries: Use parameterized queries for database operations
        
        Least Privilege: Grant minimum necessary permissions
        
        Error Handling: Never expose sensitive information in error messages
        
        Dependency Management: Keep dependencies updated and audited
        
        4. Pre-commit Hooks
        
        # Install security pre-commit hooks npm run setup:security-hooks # Hooks will automatically: # - Run npm audit # - Check for hardcoded secrets # - Validate file permissions # - Run security linters
        
        Known Security Considerations
        
        1. AI Model API Keys
        
        Risk: AI model API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) grant access to paid services.
        
        Mitigation:
        
        Store keys in environment variables only
        
        Never commit keys to version control
        
        Use .gitignore to exclude .env files
        
        Rotate keys regularly
        
        Monitor API usage for anomalies
        
        Set spending limits in provider dashboards
        
        2. Test Data
        
        Risk: Test data generation might create sensitive-looking data.
        
        Mitigation:
        
        Generated test data is synthetic and not real
        
        Configure data generation to avoid realistic PII
        
        Use faker libraries with non-sensitive seeds
        
        Document that test data is for testing only
        
        3. Database Storage
        
        Risk: SQLite database stores agent learning data and patterns.
        
        Mitigation:
        
        Database is stored locally (not transmitted)
        
        Enable encryption for sensitive environments
        
        Set appropriate file permissions (600)
        
        Exclude from backups to untrusted locations
        
        Regular cleanup of old data
        
        4. MCP Server
        
        Risk: MCP server exposes API endpoints for agent coordination.
        
        Mitigation:
        
        Bind to localhost (127.0.0.1) by default
        
        Enable API key authentication in production
        
        Use rate limiting to prevent abuse
        
        Deploy behind reverse proxy in production
        
        Enable HTTPS for remote access
        
        5. Pattern Sharing
        
        Risk: Exported patterns might contain project-specific information.
        
        Mitigation:
        
        Review patterns before sharing externally
        
        Patterns contain code structure, not secrets
        
        Option to sanitize patterns before export
        
        Document pattern privacy in sharing features
        
        6. Log Files
        
        Risk: Logs might contain sensitive operational data.
        
        Mitigation:
        
        Configure log levels appropriately
        
        Exclude sensitive data from logs
        
        Rotate and archive logs regularly
        
        Secure log file permissions (600)
        
        Use structured logging for easier filtering
