undergroundwires efa05f42bc Improve security by isolating code execution more
This commit enhances application security against potential attacks by
isolating dependencies that access the host system (like file
operations) from the renderer process. It narrows the exposed
functionality to script execution only, adding an extra security layer.

The changes allow secure and scalable API exposure, preparing for future
functionalities such as desktop notifications for script errors (#264),
improved script execution handling (#296), and creating restore points
(#50) in a secure and repeatable way.

Changes include:

- Inject `CodeRunner` into Vue components via dependency injection.
- Move `CodeRunner` to the application layer as an abstraction for
  better domain-driven design alignment.
- Refactor `SystemOperations` and related interfaces, removing the `I`
  prefix.
- Update architecture documentation for clarity.
- Update return types in `NodeSystemOperations` to match the Node APIs.
- Improve `WindowVariablesProvider` integration tests for better error
  context.
- Centralize type checks with common functions like `isArray` and
  `isNumber`.
- Change `CodeRunner` to use `os` parameter, ensuring correct window
  variable injection.
- Streamline API exposure to the renderer process:
  - Automatically bind function contexts to prevent loss of original
    context.
  - Implement a way to create facades (wrapper/proxy objects) for
    increased security.

# Security Policy
Security is a top priority at privacy.sexy.
Please report any discovered vulnerabilities responsibly.
## Reporting a Vulnerability
Efforts to responsibly disclose findings are greatly appreciated. To report a security vulnerability, follow these steps:
- For general vulnerabilities, [open an issue](https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/issues/new/choose) using the bug report template.
- For sensitive matters, [contact the developer directly](https://undergroundwires.dev).
## Security Report Handling
Upon receiving a security report, the process involves:
- Confirming the report and identifying affected components.
- Assessing the impact and severity of the issue.
- Fixing the vulnerability and planning a release to address it.
- Keeping the reporter informed about progress.
## Security Practices
### Application Security
privacy.sexy adopts a defense in depth strategy to protect users on multiple layers:
- **Link Protection:**
privacy.sexy ensures each external link has special attributes for your privacy and security.
These attributes block the new site from accessing the privacy.sexy page, increasing your online safety and privacy.
- **Content Security Policies (CSP):**
privacy.sexy actively follows security guidelines from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) at strictest level.
This approach protects against attacks like Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection.
- **Host System Access Control:**
The desktop application segregates code sections based on their access levels.
This provides a critical defense mechanism, prevents attackers from introducing harmful code into the app, known as injection attacks.
### Update Security and Integrity
privacy.sexy benefits from automated update processes including security tests. Automated deployments from source code ensure immediate and secure updates, mirroring the latest source code. This aligns the deployed application with the expected source code, enhancing transparency and trust. For more details, see [CI/CD Documentation](./docs/ci-cd.md).
Every desktop update undergoes a thorough verification process. Updates are cryptographically signed to ensure authenticity and integrity, preventing tampered versions from reaching your device. Version checks are conducted to prevent downgrade attacks.
### Testing
privacy.sexy's testing approach includes a mix of automated and community-driven tests.
Details on testing practices are available in the [Testing Documentation](./docs/tests.md).
## Support
For help or any questions, [submit a GitHub issue](https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/issues/new/choose). Addressing security concerns is a priority, and we ensure the necessary support.
