We provide security updates for the following versions of Gemini Bridge:

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly.

Please DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them by:

1. Email: Send details to the maintainer via GitHub (preferred)
2. GitHub Security: Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature
3. Direct Contact: Create a private issue if the above options aren't available

When reporting a vulnerability, please provide:

• Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
• Impact: What could an attacker accomplish?
• Reproduction: Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
• Environment: Python version, OS, Gemini CLI version
• Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for a solution

**Vulnerability Type**: [e.g., Code Injection, Information Disclosure]
**Severity**: [Low/Medium/High/Critical]
**Affected Component**: [e.g., consult_gemini function, file handling]

**Description**:
[Detailed description of the vulnerability]

**Steps to Reproduce**:
1. [Step one]
2. [Step two]
3. [Step three]

**Impact**:
[What could happen if this is exploited]

**Environment**:
- OS: [e.g., macOS 14.0]
- Python: [e.g., 3.11.5]
- Gemini CLI: [e.g., 1.2.3]
- Gemini Bridge: [e.g., 1.0.0]

We aim to respond to security reports according to this timeline:

• Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours of report
• Initial Assessment: Within 1 week
• Status Update: Weekly updates on progress
• Resolution: Depends on severity and complexity

• Critical: Immediate threat, affects all users
• High: Significant threat, affects many users
• Medium: Moderate threat, limited impact
• Low: Minor threat, minimal impact

When using Gemini Bridge:

1. Keep Updated: Always use the latest version
2. Secure Authentication: Protect your Gemini CLI authentication
3. File Permissions: Be careful with file paths and permissions
4. Network Security: Use secure networks when possible
5. Input Validation: Be cautious with untrusted input in queries

When contributing to Gemini Bridge:

1. Input Sanitization: Always validate and sanitize user input
2. Path Traversal: Prevent directory traversal attacks
3. Command Injection: Avoid shell injection vulnerabilities
4. Error Information: Don't leak sensitive info in error messages
5. Dependencies: Keep dependencies updated and secure

• CLI Dependency: Security depends on Gemini CLI installation
• File Access: MCP tools can access files in specified directories
• Subprocess Calls: Uses subprocess to call Gemini CLI
• Network Requests: Gemini CLI makes network requests to Google

• Timeout Protection: 60-second timeout prevents long-running attacks
• Error Handling: Graceful error handling without information leakage
• No Persistent State: Stateless operation reduces attack surface
• Simple Architecture: Minimal code reduces potential vulnerabilities

1. Assessment: Evaluate the severity and impact
2. Fix Development: Develop and test a security fix
3. Coordinated Disclosure: Work with reporter on disclosure timeline
4. Release: Deploy security update as patch release
5. Notification: Notify users through appropriate channels

Security updates are announced through:

• GitHub Releases: All releases include security notes
• GitHub Security Advisories: For significant vulnerabilities
• README Updates: Security-related changes noted
• CHANGELOG: Detailed security fix information

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

• Private Reporting: Initial reports should be private
• Coordinated Timeline: Work together on disclosure timing
• Credit: Security researchers receive appropriate credit
• Public Disclosure: After fix is available and deployed

1. Day 0: Vulnerability reported privately
2. Day 1-2: Acknowledgment and initial assessment
3. Day 3-14: Fix development and testing
4. Day 14-21: Security update release
5. Day 21+: Public disclosure (if appropriate)

• mcp: Model Context Protocol library
  • Keep updated to latest stable version
  • Monitor for security advisories

• Gemini CLI: Google's official CLI tool
  • Security managed by Google
  • Users should keep updated
  • Authentication handled by Google

• Python: Use supported Python versions (3.9+)
• Operating System: Keep OS updated for subprocess security
• Network: Secure network configuration recommended

For general security questions (non-vulnerabilities):

• Check existing documentation first
• Use GitHub Discussions for community input
• Create GitHub issues for documentation improvements
• Email maintainers for sensitive questions

We thank the security research community for helping keep Gemini Bridge secure:

• [Future security researchers will be listed here]

• OWASP Top 10
• Python Security Guidelines
• GitHub Security Features
• MCP Security Considerations

Remember: When in doubt about security, it's better to report a false positive than to ignore a potential vulnerability.
