Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in diff-intent, please report it responsibly:

  1. Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
  2. Email the maintainer at syedsibtain191@gmail.com or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting
  3. Include as much detail as possible:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if any)

Security Considerations

API Keys

  • diff-intent requires API keys for LLM providers (Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic)
  • Keys are read from environment variables only
  • Keys are never logged, cached, or transmitted anywhere except to the respective API provider
  • Use .env files locally and add them to .gitignore
  • In CI/CD, use secrets management (e.g., GitHub Secrets)

Data Privacy

  • Diff content is sent to the configured LLM provider for analysis
  • Response caching stores results locally in ~/.cache/diff-intent/
  • No telemetry or analytics are collected
  • No data is sent to any third party except the chosen LLM provider

Dependencies

  • We regularly update dependencies to patch security vulnerabilities
  • Use npm audit to check for known vulnerabilities
  • Report any concerning dependency issues

Best Practices

  1. Rotate API keys periodically
  2. Review diffs before analyzing - don't send sensitive code/secrets
  3. Use environment variables for API keys, never hardcode them
  4. Keep the CLI updated to get security patches
