Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open public issues for security vulnerabilities.

Use one of the following private channels:

  1. GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting (preferred):
    • Open the repository Security tab.
    • Choose "Report a vulnerability" to submit a private report.
  2. Security advisory workflow:
    • If you already have maintainer access, open a draft advisory in the repository advisories section.

What to Include in a Report

Please include as much detail as possible:

  • A clear description of the issue and impact.
  • Affected components, modules, endpoints, or files.
  • Reproduction steps or a proof-of-concept.
  • Any logs, traces, screenshots, or stack traces that help reproduce the issue.
  • Suggested remediation if available.

Response Targets

Maintainer response targets are:

  • Initial acknowledgment: within 72 hours.
  • Triage and severity assessment: within 7 days.
  • Mitigation or fix plan: as soon as practical based on severity and exploitability.

These targets are goals, not strict guarantees.

Disclosure Process

  • We will validate and triage the report privately.
  • We may ask for additional details or test cases.
  • Once a fix is ready, we will coordinate disclosure timing.
  • Public disclosure should happen only after a fix (or mitigation guidance) is available.

Safe Testing Guidelines

When testing this project for vulnerabilities:

  • Do not access or modify data that does not belong to you.
  • Do not perform denial-of-service, destructive load, or social-engineering attacks.
  • Keep testing scoped to this repository and systems you are explicitly authorized to test.
  • Avoid sharing exploit details publicly before coordinated disclosure.

Thank you for helping keep this project and its users safe.
