Security
========
Restless takes security seriously. By default, it:
* does not access your filesystem in any way.
* only allows GET requests, demanding that the user think about who should be
able to work with a given endpoint.
* has ``is_debug`` as ``False`` by default.
* wraps JSON lists in an object to prevent exploits.
While no known vulnerabilities exist, all software has bugs & Restless is no
exception.
If you believe you have found a security-related issue, please **DO NOT SUBMIT
AN ISSUE/PULL REQUEST**. This would be a public disclosure & would allow for
0-day exploits.
Instead, please send an email to "daniel@toastdriven.com" & include the
following information:
* A description of the problem/suggestion.
* How to recreate the bug.
* If relevant, including the versions of your:
* Python interpreter
* Web framework
* Restless
* Optionally of the other dependencies involved
Please bear in mind that I'm not a security expert/researcher, so a layman's
description of the issue is very important.
Upon reproduction of the exploit, steps will be taken to fix the issue, release
a new version & make users aware of the need to upgrade. Proper credit for the
discovery of the issue will be granted via the AUTHORS file & other mentions.
