If you discover a (suspected) security vulnerability in NEST, please report it privately. Do not open a public GitHub issue.
- Preferred: open a GitHub Security Advisory.
- Alternative: reach the maintainers privately via Discord or Telegram.
We will acknowledge your report, investigate, and coordinate a fix and disclosure timeline with you.
NEST connects real agents to real infrastructure. Treat CLI tokens (CLI_API_TOKEN), encryption keys
(ENCRYPTION_KEY), hub URLs, and inbound webhooks as sensitive:
- Rotate
CLI_API_TOKENon any suspected compromise. - Prefer HTTPS everywhere and scope permission modes per employee and project.
- Keep the database internal-only (the default
docker-compose.ymldoes not expose PostgreSQL).
Read docs/DEVOPS.md before exposing the stack to the internet.
