# ADR-008: Security Architecture ## Status Accepted ## Date 2026-01-27 ## Context RuvBot handles sensitive data including: - User conversations and personal information - API credentials for LLM providers - Integration tokens (Slack, Discord) - Vector embeddings that may encode sensitive content - Multi-tenant data requiring strict isolation ## Decision ### Security Layers ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Security Architecture │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 1: Transport Security │ │ - TLS 1.3 for all connections │ │ - Certificate pinning for external APIs │ │ - HSTS enabled by default │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 2: Authentication │ │ - JWT tokens with RS256 signing │ │ - OAuth 2.0 for Slack/Discord │ │ - API key authentication with rate limiting │ │ - Session tokens with secure rotation │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 3: Authorization │ │ - RBAC with claims-based permissions │ │ - Tenant isolation at all layers │ │ - Skill-level permission grants │ │ - Resource-based access control │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 4: Data Protection │ │ - AES-256-GCM for data at rest │ │ - Field-level encryption for sensitive data │ │ - Key rotation with envelope encryption │ │ - Secure secret management │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 5: Input Validation │ │ - Zod schema validation for all inputs │ │ - SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries) │ │ - XSS prevention (content sanitization) │ │ - Path traversal prevention │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Layer 6: WASM Sandbox │ │ - Memory isolation per operation │ │ - Resource limits (CPU, memory) │ │ - No filesystem access from WASM │ │ - Controlled imports/exports │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### Multi-Tenancy Security ```sql -- PostgreSQL Row-Level Security CREATE POLICY tenant_isolation ON memories USING (tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant')::uuid); CREATE POLICY tenant_isolation ON sessions USING (tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant')::uuid); CREATE POLICY tenant_isolation ON agents USING (tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant')::uuid); ``` ### Secret Management ```typescript // Secrets are never logged or exposed interface SecretStore { get(key: string): Promise; set(key: string, value: string, options?: SecretOptions): Promise; rotate(key: string): Promise; delete(key: string): Promise; } // Environment variable validation const requiredSecrets = z.object({ ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: z.string().startsWith('sk-ant-'), SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: z.string().startsWith('xoxb-').optional(), DATABASE_URL: z.string().url().optional(), }); ``` ### API Security 1. **Rate Limiting**: Per-tenant, per-endpoint limits 2. **Request Signing**: HMAC-SHA256 for webhooks 3. **IP Allowlisting**: Optional for enterprise 4. **Audit Logging**: All security events logged ### Vulnerability Prevention | CVE Category | Prevention | |--------------|------------| | Injection (SQL, NoSQL, Command) | Parameterized queries, input validation | | XSS | Content-Security-Policy, output encoding | | CSRF | SameSite cookies, origin validation | | SSRF | URL allowlisting, no user-controlled URLs | | Path Traversal | Path sanitization, chroot for file ops | | Sensitive Data Exposure | Encryption, minimal logging | | Broken Authentication | Secure session management | | Security Misconfiguration | Secure defaults, hardening guide | ### Compliance Readiness - **GDPR**: Data export, deletion, consent tracking - **SOC 2**: Audit logging, access controls - **HIPAA**: Encryption, access logging (with configuration) ## Consequences ### Positive - Defense in depth provides multiple security layers - Multi-tenancy isolation prevents data leakage - Comprehensive input validation blocks injection attacks - WASM sandbox limits damage from malicious code ### Negative - Performance overhead from encryption/validation - Complexity in secret management - Additional testing required for security features ### Risks - Key management complexity - Potential for misconfiguration - Balance between security and usability ## Security Checklist - [ ] TLS configured for all endpoints - [ ] API keys stored in secure vault - [ ] Rate limiting enabled - [ ] Audit logging configured - [ ] Input validation on all endpoints - [ ] SQL injection tests passing - [ ] XSS tests passing - [ ] CSRF protection enabled - [ ] Security headers configured - [ ] Dependency vulnerabilities scanned
