# Security Policy
## Reporting a Vulnerability
If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly:
1. **Do NOT open a public issue**
2. Email the maintainer or open a private security advisory on GitHub
3. Include steps to reproduce if possible
We'll respond within 48 hours and work on a fix.
## Security Best Practices
When deploying Hugging8n:
- **Enable basic auth** β€” set `N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER` and `N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` to protect your n8n instance from unauthorized access
- **Create a strong n8n owner password** during first-run setup
- **Set your Space to Private** β€” prevents unauthorized access to your n8n instance from the web
- **Keep your HF token scoped** β€” use fine-grained tokens with minimum permissions (read/write to your backup dataset only)
- **Set a strong `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY`** β€” protects your stored credentials; if lost, credentials cannot be recovered
- **Optionally set `CLOUDFLARE_PROXY_SECRET` in both Space and Worker** β€” recommended to prevent Worker URL abuse as an open proxy
- **Keep secure cookies enabled on HTTPS** β€” default is secure in this project; only disable for local non-HTTPS testing
- **Don't commit `.env` files** β€” the `.gitignore` already excludes them
- **Review n8n credentials** β€” periodically audit credentials stored in n8n
