This document outlines the security considerations and best practices for the "the-bike-game (text-based)" project.
- Authentication and Authorization
- Input Validation
- Data Sanitization
- Error Handling
- External Dependencies
- Code Review and Testing
- Reporting Vulnerabilities
The "the-bike-game" is a single-player text-based game and does not require user authentication or authorization. There are no user accounts or access control mechanisms in place.
User inputs, such as keyboard commands (e.g., 'W', 'A', 'S', 'D', 'X'), are limited to predefined values. Input validation is not explicitly required since the game only accepts specific keypresses.
The game does not interact with external databases or user-generated content that could introduce data sanitization concerns. It processes user inputs for gameplay but does not store or transmit sensitive data.
Error handling in the "the-bike-game" is minimal. The game primarily focuses on gameplay, and any errors are typically handled by closing the game with a game over message. There is no sensitive information to protect, and errors are not logged.
The game relies on standard C++ libraries for basic functionalities, including input/output and random number generation. These libraries are part of the standard C++ distribution and are considered reliable.
The code for "the-bike-game" has not undergone formal security testing. As a text-based game, the focus is on gameplay functionality rather than security. Contributors are encouraged to follow coding best practices.
As "the-bike-game" is a simple text-based game, it does not have a dedicated security team or formal vulnerability reporting process. Users are encouraged to use best practices for responsible disclosure if they discover vulnerabilities.
This document provides an overview of security considerations for the "the-bike-game (text-based)" project. Given its simplicity and focus on gameplay, it does not require extensive security measures. Contributors are encouraged to follow general coding best practices.
For any urgent security concerns or vulnerabilities, please contact the project maintainers through the GitHub repository.
