Security Guide
Comprehensive security features and best practices for Sonora.
#
Overview
Sonora implements multiple layers of security to protect against various threats including code injection, data breaches, and malicious plugins.
#
Credential Management
#
Encrypted Vault
from sonora.security import CredentialManager
# Initialize with master key
vault = CredentialManager("your_master_key")
# Store credentials
vault.store_credential("lavalink_password", "secret_password")
vault.store_credential("discord_token", "bot_token")
# Retrieve securely
password = vault.retrieve_credential("lavalink_password")
#
Key Rotation
# Rotate master key
new_vault = CredentialManager("new_master_key")
new_vault.store_credential("lavalink_password", password)
# Update configuration
config["master_key"] = "new_master_key"
#
Plugin Security
#
Code Validation
from sonora.security import PluginFirewall
firewall = PluginFirewall()
# Validate plugin code
violations = firewall.validate_code(plugin_source)
if violations:
raise SecurityError(f"Plugin rejected: {violations}")
#
Sandbox Execution
from sonora.security import PluginSandbox
sandbox = PluginSandbox()
# Execute plugin safely
result = await sandbox.execute(plugin_code, function_name="main")
#
Permission System
# Define plugin permissions
plugin = Plugin(
name="analytics",
permissions=["track.read", "queue.read"]
)
# Check permissions at runtime
if plugin.has_permission("track.modify"):
await modify_track(track)
#
Data Protection
#
Secure Deserialization
from sonora.security import SecureDeserializationLayer
deserializer = SecureDeserializationLayer()
# Safe JSON loading
data = deserializer.safe_json_loads(json_string)
#
Input Validation
def validate_track_data(data):
required_fields = ["title", "author", "uri"]
for field in required_fields:
if field not in data:
raise ValidationError(f"Missing {field}")
# Sanitize inputs
data["title"] = sanitize_string(data["title"])
return data
#
Network Security
#
Connection Encryption
# Force HTTPS/WSS
node_config = {
"host": "lavalink.example.com",
"port": 443,
"password": "password",
"secure": True # Forces WSS
}
#
Certificate Validation
import ssl
# Custom SSL context
ssl_context = ssl.create_default_context()
ssl_context.check_hostname = True
ssl_context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED
# Use in connections
connector = aiohttp.TCPConnector(ssl=ssl_context)
#
Runtime Protection
#
Exploit Guards
# Prevent common exploits
def guard_against_injection(query):
blocked_patterns = [";", "--", "/*", "*/", "xp_", "sp_"]
for pattern in blocked_patterns:
if pattern in query:
raise SecurityError("Potential SQL injection")
# Resource limits
MAX_REQUEST_SIZE = 1024 * 1024 # 1MB
MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS = 100
#
Memory Protection
# Prevent memory exhaustion
import resource
# Set memory limits
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_AS, (512 * 1024 * 1024, 512 * 1024 * 1024)) # 512MB
# Monitor memory usage
def check_memory_usage():
import psutil
process = psutil.Process()
memory_percent = process.memory_percent()
if memory_percent > 80:
logger.warning("High memory usage detected")
#
Authentication & Authorization
#
Bot Token Security
# Never log tokens
logger.info("Bot started") # Don't log token
# Use environment variables
token = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
if not token:
raise ConfigurationError("Discord token not found")
#
API Key Management
# Rotate API keys regularly
class KeyManager:
def __init__(self):
self.keys = {}
self.key_ttl = 3600 # 1 hour
def generate_key(self, service):
key = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
self.keys[service] = {
"key": key,
"created": time.time()
}
return key
def validate_key(self, service, key):
if service not in self.keys:
return False
key_data = self.keys[service]
if time.time() - key_data["created"] > self.key_ttl:
del self.keys[service]
return False
return key_data["key"] == key
#
Monitoring & Auditing
#
Security Logging
import logging
# Security-specific logger
security_logger = logging.getLogger("sonora.security")
security_logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)
def log_security_event(event_type, details):
security_logger.warning(f"Security event: {event_type}", extra={
"event_type": event_type,
"details": details,
"timestamp": time.time(),
"ip": get_client_ip()
})
#
Intrusion Detection
class IntrusionDetector:
def __init__(self):
self.failed_attempts = {}
self.block_threshold = 5
def record_failed_attempt(self, ip):
self.failed_attempts[ip] = self.failed_attempts.get(ip, 0) + 1
if self.failed_attempts[ip] >= self.block_threshold:
self.block_ip(ip)
log_security_event("ip_blocked", {"ip": ip})
def is_blocked(self, ip):
return ip in self.failed_attempts and self.failed_attempts[ip] >= self.block_threshold
#
Best Practices
#
Development Security
- Input Validation: Validate all inputs
- Output Encoding: Encode outputs properly
- Least Privilege: Use minimal permissions
- Fail Safe: Default to secure behavior
- Regular Updates: Keep dependencies updated
- Code Reviews: Review security-critical code
- Testing: Include security tests
#
Operational Security
- Monitor Logs: Watch for suspicious activity
- Regular Backups: Backup encrypted data
- Key Management: Rotate keys regularly
- Access Control: Limit system access
- Network Security: Use firewalls and VPNs
- Incident Response: Have response plans
- Compliance: Meet security standards
#
Plugin Security
- Code Review: Review plugin code
- Permission Audit: Check permissions regularly
- Sandbox Testing: Test in isolated environment
- Version Control: Track plugin versions
- Dependency Scanning: Check for vulnerabilities
- Update Policy: Keep plugins updated
- Revocation: Ability to disable compromised plugins
#
Incident Response
#
Detection
# Automated detection
def detect_anomalies():
# Check for unusual patterns
if player.queue.length > 1000:
log_security_event("queue_flood", {"length": player.queue.length})
if len(active_connections) > MAX_CONNECTIONS:
log_security_event("connection_flood", {"count": len(active_connections)})
#
Response
def emergency_shutdown():
# Graceful shutdown
await client.close()
# Notify administrators
await send_alert("Emergency shutdown triggered")
# Log incident
log_security_event("emergency_shutdown", {
"reason": "security_incident",
"timestamp": time.time()
})
#
Recovery
async def secure_recovery():
# Validate system state
await validate_system_integrity()
# Restore from clean backup
await restore_from_backup()
# Reinitialize security
await reinitialize_security()
#
Compliance
#
Data Protection
- Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
- Implement proper access controls
- Regular security audits
- Data minimization principles
#
Privacy
- Collect only necessary data
- Provide data export/deletion
- Transparent data usage
- User consent for data collection
This comprehensive security approach ensures Sonora remains secure against various threats while maintaining usability.
