Reporting a vulnerability

Email security@olib.ai with:

  • A short description of the issue
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Your platform and the Owl Sidecar version
  • Whether the issue affects the app, the command-line tool, or the pairing and connection flow

We acknowledge reports within 2 business days and aim to ship a fix within 14 days for confirmed high-severity issues.

Please do not file a public GitHub issue for security reports.

Scope

In scope:

  • Any path that lets a device or session reach a proxy it is not authorized to use
  • Weaknesses in pairing, session tokens, or the mutual authentication of the tunnel
  • Privilege or sandbox issues in the signed binaries
  • Tampering with the update or download path

Out of scope:

  • Behavior of the sites and services you route traffic to
  • Rate limits or account policy enforced by the Owl portal

Design notes

Traffic runs directly between the browser and the paired device over a mutually authenticated tunnel. The coordination service helps the two sides find each other and does not carry or see your traffic. Pairing binds a device to a single account, and a session cannot reach a device owned by another account.

Credit

We do not run a paid bounty program, but we will credit researchers (with permission) in the release notes for the version that contains the fix.
