Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability, do not open a public issue. Instead, follow these steps:

  1. Open a private/draft security advisory on GitHub.
  2. Provide a detailed description of the vulnerability, including:
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fixes (if any)
  3. We will acknowledge your report as quickly as possible and provide a timeline for a fix.
  4. Once the vulnerability is fixed, we may publicly disclose it (with credit to you, if desired).

Security Best Practices for Contributors

  • Avoid using user-controlled input directly in shell commands or workflows.
  • Follow the OWASP Cheat Sheet Series for secure coding practices.
  • Report any suspicious activity or potential vulnerabilities immediately.

Recognition

Security researchers and contributors who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities will be publicly acknowledged in our release notes (unless anonymity is requested).
