Security fixes apply to the latest release on the main branch only. Older tagged releases are not maintained. Upgrade to the latest version to receive patches.

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

Instead, report them privately using GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:

• Go to https://github.com/janosmiko/lfk/security/advisories/new
• Or navigate to the repository's Security tab → Advisories → Report a vulnerability

If you cannot use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting, you may instead open a minimal public issue asking for a private contact channel — without disclosing any vulnerability details — and a maintainer will follow up.

When reporting, please include as much of the following as possible:

• A description of the issue and its potential impact
• Steps to reproduce, or a proof-of-concept
• The affected version(s) of LFK
• Any suggested mitigations or fixes
• Whether you intend to disclose publicly, and your preferred timeline

You can expect the following from the maintainers:

• Acknowledgement within 14 days of your report
• Initial assessment (severity, scope, reproducibility) within 30 days
• Fix or mitigation for confirmed vulnerabilities as soon as practical, prioritized by severity
• Coordinated disclosure: we will work with you on a disclosure timeline and credit you in the release notes and advisory unless you prefer to remain anonymous

If you do not receive a response within 14 days, please escalate by opening a minimal public issue requesting acknowledgement (without vulnerability details).

In scope:

• The LFK binary and its source code in this repository
• Dependencies vendored or pinned by this repository
• Build, release, and CI/CD configuration in .github/workflows/

Out of scope:

• Vulnerabilities in upstream Kubernetes, kubectl, or client-go — please report those to their respective projects
• Issues that require an already-compromised local machine, kubeconfig, or cluster credentials
• Social engineering of maintainers or users

We support good-faith security research. If you make a good-faith effort to comply with this policy during your research, we will:

• Consider your research to be authorized
• Work with you to understand and resolve the issue quickly
• Not pursue legal action related to your research

Thank you for helping keep LFK and its users safe.
