Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report security vulnerabilities privately to info@astermd.com.

Do not open a public issue for a security report. Public disclosure before a fix is available puts every integrator at risk.

Include, where you can:

  • the affected version of astermd/sdk;
  • a description of the issue and its impact;
  • steps to reproduce, or a minimal proof of concept;
  • any suggested remediation.

We will acknowledge your report and keep you updated on remediation progress. Please give us a reasonable opportunity to release a fix before disclosing the issue publicly.

Supported versions

Security fixes are applied to the latest released minor version. Please upgrade before reporting an issue against an older release.

Handling credentials and PHI

This SDK is a client for an API that carries personal and protected health information. A few obligations sit with you, the integrator:

  • Never commit your clientSecret. Load it from an environment variable or a secrets manager.
  • Debug logging is redacted by default. debug: true masks bearer tokens, the client secret, PHI verification tokens, and the bodies of patients/* requests and responses. Passing debugRedact: false disables that and writes live credentials to your sink — use it only against non-production credentials and never leave it on.
  • Debug logs still record URLs, headers, and non-patient bodies. Treat the log destination as sensitive and apply the same retention and access controls you would to any other system carrying customer data.
  • Token caches contain live credentials. FileTokenStore writes its cache with 0600 permissions; if you implement your own TokenStore, protect it at least as well.
  • Using this SDK does not by itself make your application HIPAA compliant. Compliance depends on your own infrastructure, policies, and agreements. Contact info@astermd.com regarding a Business Associate Agreement.
