| ## Reporting a Vulnerability | |
| If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly: | |
| 1. **Do NOT open a public issue** | |
| 2. Email the maintainer or open a private security advisory on GitHub | |
| 3. Include steps to reproduce if possible | |
| We'll respond within 48 hours and work on a fix. | |
| ## Security Best Practices | |
| When deploying Hugging8n: | |
| - **Enable basic auth** — set `N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER` and `N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` to protect your n8n instance from unauthorized access | |
| - **Use a strong password** — generate with `openssl rand -base64 24` | |
| - **Set your Space to Private** — prevents unauthorized access to your n8n instance from the web | |
| - **Keep your HF token scoped** — use fine-grained tokens with minimum permissions (read/write to your backup dataset only) | |
| - **Set a strong `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY`** — protects your stored credentials; if lost, credentials cannot be recovered | |
| - **Don't commit `.env` files** — the `.gitignore` already excludes them | |
| - **Review n8n credentials** — periodically audit credentials stored in n8n | |
