We will acknowledge reports within 72 hours and aim to resolve confirmed vulnerabilities within 14 days.
Known security boundaries
Smriti is a single-user tool with no authentication layer. It is designed for local or private-network deployment.
Do not expose the backend port (8000) to the public internet. The API has no authentication; anyone who can reach it can read and write all data.
If you deploy Smriti on a server:
- Put the backend behind a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, etc.)
- Restrict access with network-level controls or auth middleware
- Change the default database credentials in
docker-compose.ymland.env - Do not commit
backend/config/providers.yaml— it is gitignored for this reason
API keys
API keys are configured via environment variables or backend/config/providers.yaml
(gitignored). They are never returned by any API endpoint. The backend logging
middleware applies a SecretGuardFilter that redacts sk-* patterns from all log
output.
