We actively support the following versions with security updates:
| Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| 1.x.x | ✅ Yes |
| 0.x.x | ❌ No (Beta) |
We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in the Devtools Performance Insights, please report it responsibly.
Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.
Instead, please report security vulnerabilities to:
- Email: security@project.com
- Subject: "Security Vulnerability Report - Chrome Performance Analyzer"
Please include the following information in your report:
- Description: A clear description of the vulnerability
- Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
- Impact: Potential impact and attack scenarios
- Affected Versions: Which versions are affected
- Proof of Concept: If applicable, include a PoC (responsibly)
- Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for fixing the issue
Subject: Security Vulnerability Report - Chrome Performance Analyzer
Description:
The file upload functionality allows uploading files larger than the configured limit, potentially leading to DoS attacks.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to the upload page
2. Attempt to upload a file larger than 50MB
3. The file is processed despite the limit
Impact:
- Server resource exhaustion
- Potential denial of service
- Memory consumption issues
Affected Versions:
- v1.0.0 to v1.2.3
Proof of Concept:
[Attach minimal PoC if applicable]
Suggested Fix:
Implement server-side file size validation before processing.
We aim to respond to security reports according to the following timeline:
- Initial Response: Within 24 hours
- Vulnerability Assessment: Within 72 hours
- Fix Development: Within 7 days (for critical issues)
- Security Release: Within 14 days
- Public Disclosure: 30 days after fix release
-
Input Validation
- File type validation for uploads
- File size limits
- JSON schema validation for performance profiles
-
Content Security Policy (CSP)
- Strict CSP headers
- No inline scripts or styles
- Restricted resource loading
-
Data Handling
- Client-side processing only
- No server-side data storage
- Secure file handling
-
Dependencies
- Regular dependency updates
- Automated vulnerability scanning
- Minimal dependency footprint
When contributing to this project, please follow these security guidelines:
// ✅ Good - Validate all inputs
function parsePerformanceProfile(file: File): PerformanceData {
if (file.size > MAX_FILE_SIZE) {
throw new Error('File too large')
}
if (!file.type.includes('json')) {
throw new Error('Invalid file type')
}
// Additional validation...
}
// ❌ Bad - No validation
function parsePerformanceProfile(file: File): PerformanceData {
return JSON.parse(await file.text())
}// ✅ Good - Sanitize data
function displayMetricValue(value: unknown): string {
if (typeof value !== 'number' || !isFinite(value)) {
return 'Invalid'
}
return value.toFixed(2)
}
// ❌ Bad - Direct output
function displayMetricValue(value: unknown): string {
return String(value)
}// ✅ Good - Safe error handling
try {
const data = parseProfile(file)
return processData(data)
} catch (error) {
console.error('Profile parsing failed')
throw new Error('Invalid performance profile')
}
// ❌ Bad - Exposing internal details
try {
const data = parseProfile(file)
return processData(data)
} catch (error) {
throw error // May expose sensitive information
