Security policy

Supported versions

Security fixes go to the newest release and to the development branch. Older releases do not receive them.

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public issue for a security problem. A public report tells everyone about the flaw before there is a fix. Report it privately to opensource@petrbalvin.org.

Include:

• the version or commit you tested, and the platform
• what the problem is, and what an attacker gains from it
• the smallest reproducer you have, ideally a test or a single command
• a suggested fix, if you have one

What to expect

• A human reads the report, and you get an acknowledgement.
• You are kept informed while the fix is being made, and told when it ships.
• The fix is released before the details are published, and the timing is agreed with you.
• The reporter is credited in the release notes only if they ask to be.

Out of scope

• Findings that require the attacker to already run code as the user, or to have local access.
• Missing hardening with no demonstrated impact.
• Flaws in a third-party dependency: report them to that project, and to this one only when this project's use of it makes them reachable.
