Security

This section documents the known security findings in the Innovation Patterns (IPA) codebase and their disposition. IPA is a proof-of-concept reference implementation published to a public repository for demonstration and reuse. The findings recorded here are accepted for the POC context and must be addressed on any path to production.

Readers using IPA as a starting point for a production deployment should treat the Security Disposition as the canonical remediation backlog for the reference code.

  • Security Disposition — Catalog of known High, Medium, Low, and Informational findings, including the file location, CWE identifier, impact, and recommended resolution for each.

Scope​

The findings in this section cover infrastructure-as-code (CloudFormation), the Python backend (app-lib/), and the CI/CD pipeline configuration. They originate from manual review and automated security scanning (ASH) of the reference implementation.

Status​

Each finding in Security Disposition is accepted for the POC. Consumers adapting IPA for production workloads are expected to:

  • Review every finding against the target deployment context
  • Implement the documented resolution or an equivalent mitigation
  • Remove the corresponding entry from this backlog once remediated
