Security Policy

Important

Do not report vulnerabilities in public GitHub issues!

Reporting a Vulnerability

  1. Preferred: GitHub private vulnerability reporting
    • Repository page -> Security -> Report a vulnerability -> Submit report.
  2. Fallback: contact the maintainer directly and include "[SECURITY]" in the subject.

What Is a Security Issue

An issue is considered security-related if it can impact confidentiality, integrity, or availability.

Typical security issues:

  • Memory safety bugs that may lead to code execution or compromise.
  • Denial-of-service from untrusted input (crash, hang, resource exhaustion).
  • Unintended file, path, or privilege access.
  • Supply chain or build/packaging weaknesses in this repository.

Usually not security issues:

  • Crashes or warnings without security impact.
  • Performance, compatibility, or API ergonomics issues.
  • General feature requests.

What to Include

Please include:

  • Impact and affected versions/platforms/toolchain.
  • Reproduction steps or a minimal proof of concept.
  • Any known mitigations and whether the issue is already public.

Supported Versions

Security fixes are provided for the latest release and the default branch.

Version Supported
Latest release
Default branch (master/main)

Response Process

Best-effort targets:

  • Initial acknowledgment: within 10 days.
  • Triage decision: within 20 days.
  • Status updates: at least every 20 days while the issue is open.

Timelines may vary with complexity and maintainer availability.

Disclosure Policy

Please allow time for investigation and a coordinated fix before public disclosure. We follow coordinated disclosure and credit reporters who want acknowledgment.
