Security Policy
Contact Information
If you discover a security vulnerability or have concerns about the security of Reticulum MeshChatX, please contact the lead developer using the following methods in order of preference:
1. LXMF: T3838387cc8d66b4f6a0e0e49d34af7f6077b5a
Security Overview
Reticulum MeshChatX is designed with a high degree of security in mind, leveraging multiple layers of protection and modern security practices.
We follow the Electron Best Security Practices
Core Security Features
• ASAR Integrity Validation: Utilizes Electron 39 features to protect the application against tampering.
• Backend Binary Verification: Generates a SHA-256 manifest of the unpacked Python backend during build and verifies it on every startup.
• Data-at-Rest Integrity Monitoring: Snapshots the state of identities and database files on clean shutdown and warns if they were modified while the app was closed.
• CSP Hardening: Multi-layered Content Security Policy protection across the entire application stack.
• Hardened Electron Environment: Hardened security by disabling T383838runAsNode and T383838nodeOptions environment variables via Electron Fuses.
• Rootless Docker Images: Support for running in restricted environments with rootless container images.
Automated Security Measures
The project employs continuous security monitoring and testing:
• Security Scanning: Automated daily scans using OSV-Scanner and Trivy for container image vulnerabilities.
• Pinned Actions: All CI/CD workflows use pinned actions with full URLs to forked, vetted actions hosted on our Gitea instance (T383838git.quad4.io) to prevent supply chain attacks.
• Extensive Testing & Fuzzing: Comprehensive backend benchmarking suite with high-precision timing, memory delta tracking, and extreme stress modes to ensure stability and prevent resource exhaustion.
• Linting & Code Quality: Strict linting rules and static analysis are enforced on every push.
