Vulnerability Type: SQL Injection
Affected Component: Pattern database queries
Impact: Potential data exposure
Severity: High
Reproduction Steps:
1. Navigate to...
2. Submit payload: ...
3. Observe...
Evidence:
[Screenshots, logs, or proof of concept]
Suggested Fix:
Use parameterized queries instead of string concatenation...
- Never commit API keys to the repository
- Store secrets in environment variables or secure configuration
- Use the built-in setup process for key management
- Regularly rotate API keys
- All user inputs are validated before processing
- Special attention to pattern definitions and user content
- URL validation for web scraping features
- Secure communication with AI providers (HTTPS/TLS)

- Initial Assessment: We'll evaluate severity and impact within 72 hours
- Investigation: We'll investigate and develop fixes
- Fix Development: We'll create and test patches

We don't currently offer a formal bug bounty program, but we deeply appreciate security research and will:
- Acknowledge contributors in release notes
- Provide credit in security advisories
- Consider swag or small rewards for significant findings
- Download Fabric only from official sources
- Verify checksums when available
- Keep installations up to date
- Use strong, unique API keys
- Don't share configuration files containing secrets
- Set appropriate file permissions on config directories
- Be cautious with patterns that process sensitive data
- Review AI provider terms for data handling
- Consider using local models for sensitive content
Fabric relies on external AI providers. Security depends partly on:
- Provider security practices
- Data transmission security
- Provider data handling policies
Custom patterns could potentially:
- Process sensitive inputs inappropriately
- Generate outputs containing sensitive information
- Be used for adversarial prompt injection
Recommendation: Review patterns carefully, especially those from untrusted sources.
Security updates are distributed through:
- GitHub Releases with security tags
- Security advisories on GitHub
- Project documentation updates
