MPLP (Multi-Agent Protocol Lifecycle Platform) takes security seriously. This document outlines our security policy, vulnerability reporting process, and supported versions.

We provide security updates for the following versions:

We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose security vulnerabilities. Please follow these guidelines:

DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities by emailing:

📧 security@mplp.dev (or create a private security advisory on GitHub)

Please include the following information in your report:

1. Description: Clear description of the vulnerability
2. Impact: Potential impact and severity assessment
3. Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the vulnerability
4. Affected Versions: Which versions are affected
5. Proof of Concept: If possible, include a PoC (without causing harm)
6. Suggested Fix: If you have suggestions for fixing the issue

The following security issues exist in development dependencies and do not affect production code:

• CVE: Prototype pollution in merge (<<)
• Advisory: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mh29-5h37-fv8m
• Affected Package: @istanbuljs/load-nyc-config (indirect dependency of jest@29.7.0)
• Impact: Development and testing environment only
• Risk Level: Low (does not affect production builds or runtime)
• Status: Waiting for upstream fix in jest ecosystem
• Mitigation:
  • This package is only used during testing
  • Production builds do not include development dependencies
  • No user-facing code is affected

• Total Vulnerabilities: 19 moderate severity
• All from: jest@29.7.0 dependency chain
• Production Impact: None (devDependencies only)
• User Impact: None

1. Development Only: All affected packages are in devDependencies
2. No Production Impact: These packages are not included in production builds
3. Breaking Changes: Forcing updates would break the test environment
4. Upstream Issue: Waiting for jest ecosystem to update dependencies
5. Risk Assessment: The actual risk to users is zero

We actively monitor these issues and will update dependencies when:

• jest releases a version with updated dependencies
• A critical vulnerability is discovered that affects production code
• A non-breaking fix becomes available

MPLP undergoes rigorous security testing:

• 100% Security Test Coverage: All security features are tested
• Automated Security Scans: Regular automated security scanning
• Penetration Testing: Periodic penetration testing
• Dependency Scanning: Continuous dependency vulnerability scanning
• Code Analysis: Static and dynamic code analysis

• ✅ 2,902/2,902 tests passing (100% pass rate)
• ✅ 199/199 test suites passing (100% pass rate)
• ✅ Zero critical vulnerabilities in production code
• ✅ Zero high-risk security issues in production code
• ✅ 100% security compliance
• ⚠️ 19 moderate vulnerabilities in development dependencies (no production impact)

1. Keep Updated: Always use the latest supported version
2. Secure Configuration: Follow security configuration guidelines
3. Access Control: Implement proper access control policies
4. Monitor Logs: Regularly review security logs
5. Report Issues: Report any security concerns promptly

1. Secure Coding: Follow secure coding practices
2. Input Validation: Always validate and sanitize inputs
3. Dependency Management: Keep dependencies updated
4. Code Review: Participate in security-focused code reviews
5. Testing: Write security tests for new features
