Security Policy

Supported Versions

Hux UI is currently in active development (pre-1.0). We provide security updates for the following versions:

Version Supported
0.2.x
0.1.x
< 0.1

Note: As Hux UI is still in early development (0.x versions), we recommend always using the latest version to ensure you have the most recent security fixes and improvements.

What We Consider Security Vulnerabilities

For a Flutter UI component library like Hux UI, security vulnerabilities may include:

  • Input validation issues in form components (HuxInput, HuxCheckbox, etc.)
  • XSS vulnerabilities in web implementations of components
  • Data exposure through improper logging or debugging output
  • Theme/styling injection that could allow malicious content rendering
  • Dependency vulnerabilities in our underlying packages
  • Context menu security on web platforms (data leakage via context menus)
  • Chart rendering vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive data

Security Best Practices for Users

When using Hux UI in your applications:

Input Components

  • Validate user input on both client and server sides when using HuxInput
  • Sanitize data before displaying it in components
  • Use proper form validation with the built-in validator functions

Web Applications

  • Enable Content Security Policy (CSP) to prevent XSS attacks
  • Be cautious with user-generated content in HuxCard titles and content
  • Test context menus to ensure they don't expose sensitive information

Data Visualization

  • Sanitize chart data before passing it to HuxChart components
  • Avoid displaying sensitive information in chart titles or labels
  • Be mindful of data leakage through chart interactions

General

  • Keep Hux UI updated to the latest version
  • Review dependency vulnerabilities regularly with tools like flutter pub audit
  • Test your app with security scanners for web deployments

Dependencies

Hux UI relies on several dependencies. We monitor them for security issues:

  • flutter_feather_icons - Icon library
  • cristalyse - Chart rendering engine
  • universal_html - Web compatibility utilities

We regularly update these dependencies and will release security patches if vulnerabilities are discovered.

Responsible Disclosure

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

  • Security issues are handled privately until a fix is available
  • We coordinate with security researchers to ensure proper timing of disclosures
  • We aim to balance security with transparency for our users
