This policy is the default for repositories owned by
@carlosferreyra that do not define their
own SECURITY.md. Individual repositories may publish a stricter policy.
Unless a repository states otherwise, only the latest release on the default branch receives security fixes. Older tags are supported on a best-effort basis.
| Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| latest release | ✅ |
| older releases | ❌ |
Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security problems.
- Go to the affected repository on GitHub.
- Open the Security tab → Advisories → Report a vulnerability.
- Fill out the private advisory form.
This keeps the report private until a fix is ready and lets us coordinate a CVE if one is warranted.
If the repository has private vulnerability reporting disabled, email contact@carlosferreyra.me with:
- A description of the vulnerability and its impact.
- Affected repository, versions, and commit SHA.
- Steps to reproduce (minimal PoC preferred).
- Any suggested mitigation.
- Whether you would like to be credited in the advisory.
If you want to encrypt the report, request a public key in a first, content-free email.
We aim to:
- Acknowledge your report within 3 business days.
- Provide a triage assessment (severity + next steps) within 7 days.
- Release a fix for High/Critical issues within 30 days, Medium within 90 days. Low-severity issues are patched on the normal release cadence.
These are targets, not guarantees — these are personal projects maintained on a best-effort basis.
- We follow coordinated disclosure: please give us a reasonable window to ship a fix before publishing details.
- We will credit reporters in the published advisory unless asked not to.
- We publish advisories via GitHub Security Advisories and, when applicable, request a CVE.
The following are generally not considered vulnerabilities:
- Missing security headers on static demo / documentation sites.
- Denial-of-service caused by exhausting resources on a local machine.
- Findings that require a compromised developer workstation or stolen credentials.
- Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies — report those upstream, then open a regular issue here so we can bump the dependency.
Researchers acting in good faith under this policy — avoiding privacy violations, service disruption, and data destruction — will not have legal action pursued against them for their research.
