Security

Ferris' Forge runs a small web server on your computer that compiles and runs Rust code and Neovim. If you find a way to misuse it, please tell me privately first.

Reporting a problem

Use Report a vulnerability (the Security tab of this repository). Please don't open a public issue for it.

Include what you did, what happened, and your OS and rustc --version. I'll reply as soon as I can and credit you in the fix unless you'd rather not be named.

Only the latest release and master get fixes.

What counts

The game is meant to keep its powers to its own page and to the player sitting at it. These are security problems:

  • Another website, another program or another user on the computer can use the game's API, run code through it, or read your save (for example by getting around the #key=… check).
  • The server can be reached from outside 127.0.0.1.
  • A program you run in a level gets past its limits (memory, file size, CPU time, the 5-second timeout) or keeps running after the run is over.
  • The compiler can be made to use unbounded memory or time from a small program.

These are expected, not vulnerabilities:

  • Code you write runs as you, with your files and network, just like cargo run. Don't paste code you wouldn't run in a terminal.
  • Anyone who has your game key (from save/game.key or the printed link) can use the game.
  • Ferris (Claude Code) sees the code and questions you send him.
