## Security Requirements
4+
5+
This section outlines the security measures and requirements that the ArduPilot
6+
Methodic Configurator project implements to ensure the security and integrity
7+
of our software.
8+
9+
### Dependency Management
10+
11+
We maintain secure software supply chains by keeping dependencies up-to-date:
12+
13+
- **Dependabot**: Automated dependency updates for GitHub ecosystem
14+
- **Renovate**: Comprehensive dependency management across all package managers
15+
- Regular monitoring and updates of Python packages and system dependencies
16+
17+
### Static Code Analysis
18+
19+
We use multiple static analysis tools to identify potential security issues and
20+
ensure code quality:
21+
22+
- **[Ruff](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/ruff.yml)**:
23+
Fast Python linter and code formatter
24+
- **[MyPy](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/mypy.yml)**:
25+
Static type checker for Python
26+
- **[Pyright](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/pyright.yml)**:
27+
Microsoft's Python type checker
28+
- **[Pylint](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/pylint.yml)**:
29+
Comprehensive Python code analyzer
30+
31+
### Automated Security Scanning
32+
33+
Our CI/CD pipeline includes automated security scans:
34+
35+
- **[GitHub CodeQL](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/codeql.yml)**:
36+
Advanced security vulnerability detection
37+
- **[Dependency Review](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/dependency-review.yml)**:
38+
Automated review of dependency changes for security issues
39+
- **[Anti-virus Scanning](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/gitavscan.yml)**:
40+
Regular malware detection using ClamAV
41+
- **[OpenSSF Scorecard](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator/actions/workflows/scorecard.yml)**:
42+
Automated security health metrics
43+
44+
### Compliance and Best Practices
45+
46+
We adhere to industry standards and best practices as documented in our
47+
[Compliance Guide](COMPLIANCE.md), including:
48+
49+
- Secure coding practices
50+
- License compliance verification
51+
- Regular security audits
52+
- Open-source security guidelines
53+
54+
### What Users Can Expect
55+
56+
- **Secure Dependencies**: All dependencies are regularly updated and scanned for vulnerabilities
57+
- **Code Quality**: Static analysis ensures adherence to security best practices
58+
- **Vulnerability Response**: Prompt response to reported security issues (see below)
59+
- **Transparency**: Public disclosure of security processes and findings
60+
61+
### Limitations
62+
63+
- **Third-party Dependencies**: Security depends on the security practices of our dependencies
64+
- **User Environment**: Security of the end-user environment is outside our control
65+
- **Configuration**: Improper configuration by users may introduce security risks
66+
- **Physical Access**: Physical access to devices/flight controllers is not protected by this software
67+
