Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via:

  1. Email: Send details to the maintainer (preferably encrypted)
  2. GitHub Security Advisory: Use the Security Advisories feature

What to Include

Please include the following information:

  • Type of vulnerability (e.g., SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass)
  • Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the vulnerability
  • The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  • Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Status Update: Within 7 days
  • Fix Release: Depends on severity (typically within 14 days for critical issues)

Security Best Practices

When using this project:

  1. Never commit .env files - Always use .env.example as a template
  2. Use strong GitHub tokens - Limit token scope to minimum required permissions
  3. Secure your MySQL credentials - Use strong passwords and restrict access
  4. Keep dependencies updated - Regularly update to patch known vulnerabilities
  5. Enable Redis authentication - If using Redis, set a strong password

Known Security Considerations

  • This project accesses GitHub API - ensure your tokens are properly scoped
  • CVE scanning depends on OSV.dev API - verify API responses before acting
  • Alert webhooks may contain sensitive information - secure your webhook endpoints

Security Features

This project includes:

  • Rate limiting for GitHub API calls
  • Distributed lock via Redis to prevent concurrent scans
  • Secure sandbox execution via OpenSandbox
  • Sensitive file exclusion via .gitignore
  • Structured logging without sensitive data leakage
