Security Policy

Beamhall is a security boundary: it stands between an untrusted AI agent and real infrastructure. We take vulnerabilities seriously and appreciate responsible disclosure.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, discussions, or pull requests.

Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:

  • Go to the repository's Security tab → Report a vulnerability (GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting), or
  • email security@beamhall.com with the details.

Please include:

  • a description of the issue and the component affected (e.g. the MCP tool surface, the egress reconciler, the secret vault, the audit chain);
  • the steps to reproduce, or a proof of concept;
  • the impact you believe it has — in particular, whether it lets the agent or a workload cross a boundary it should not (read a secret, widen egress, escape its workspace, tamper with the audit log, or escalate on the host);
  • any suggested remediation.

What to expect

  • We will acknowledge your report within 3 business days.
  • We will work with you to understand and validate the issue, and keep you updated on remediation progress.
  • We will credit you in the release notes when the fix ships, unless you prefer to remain anonymous.

Scope

The security model and its boundaries are documented in docs/threat-model.md. Findings that demonstrate a way to:

  • obtain a raw credential the agent is never meant to see,
  • weaken or bypass the immutable hardening baseline,
  • escape a workload's isolation tier (runc or runsc),
  • defeat the default-deny egress model,
  • forge or tamper with the audit chain undetected, or
  • cross from one workspace into another,

are exactly the high-value reports we want.

The threat model also states the known residual risks plainly (e.g. a compromised running workload can read its own injected secrets by design, and the shared-kernel risk under runc). A report that restates a documented residual risk is still welcome as a discussion, but is not considered a new vulnerability.

Supported versions

Beamhall is pre-1.0 and under active development. Security fixes are applied to the main branch; until a stable release line exists, please test against main.
