Reporting a Vulnerability

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Report privately via GitHub Security Advisories.

Include:

  • A description of the vulnerability and its potential impact.
  • Steps to reproduce or a proof of concept (a small input file is ideal).
  • The affected crate (opensqlany or opensqlany-cli).
  • The OS, Rust toolchain, and crate version you were running.

Expect an initial acknowledgment within 7 days.

Scope

In scope:

  • Parser correctness on malicious input. Crashes (panics, out-of-bounds reads, infinite loops), arbitrary file writes, or memory corruption triggered by a crafted SA17 page-store file are in scope. opensqlany is #![forbid(unsafe_code)] so memory corruption in safe Rust would be unexpected.
  • Path-traversal or arbitrary-file-write bugs in the opensqlany CLI.
  • Supply-chain integrity of published artifacts on crates.io: tampered manifests, missing provenance, unsigned releases.

Out of scope:

  • Denial of service via legitimately oversized database files.
  • Vulnerabilities in third-party crates with no demonstrated exploit path through this stack. Forward those upstream.
  • Bug reports about format-spec inaccuracy or unsupported page types
    • file those as regular GitHub issues.

Disclosure

We follow coordinated disclosure. Reporters are credited in the release notes unless they prefer to remain anonymous. We aim to ship a fix within 30 days of confirming a high or critical issue.

Note on reverse-engineered formats

OpenSQLAnywhere is clean-room: it is derived from observation of on-disk bytes and from SAP's own public documentation. It ships with no SAP code or binaries. Bug reports about parser inaccuracy are welcome but are not security issues.
