CachyUninstall is a destructive-privilege application; vulnerabilities are treated as release blockers.
Do not open public issues for unpatched high-severity findings.
Report privately:
- Email: security@cachyos.org (subject:
[cachyuninstall] security report) - Or enable private vulnerability reporting on the GitHub repository and use "Report a vulnerability".
Include: affected version/commit, reproduction, impact, suggested severity, and whether you can help verify a fix.
We aim to acknowledge within 72 hours and coordinate disclosure after a fix or mutually agreed deadline.
The threat model and mitigations live in docs/SECURITY.md. Particularly in
scope: the privileged D-Bus helper, the wire protocol, package ownership
checks, symlink/TOCTOU handling, polkit policy.
Out of scope: attacks requiring physical access, or issues in upstream projects (pacman/libalpm, polkit, Qt, D-Bus) themselves — we still appreciate being informed when our usage pattern is the cause.
Only the latest release series receives security fixes until 1.x stabilizes.
