Security Policy

Thank you for helping keep this project and its users safe.

Reporting a vulnerability

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

Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting for this repository:

This channel is private, visible only to the maintainers and to GitHub's security infrastructure.

What to include

When reporting, please include as much of the following as you can:

  • A clear description of the issue and its potential impact.
  • The affected component (for example, plugins/newton/skills/newton or a tool-rules file).
  • Steps to reproduce or a proof of concept.
  • Any suggested mitigation or fix, if you have one.

What to expect

  • An initial acknowledgement as soon as the maintainer sees the report.
  • A follow-up with an assessment and a plan (accept, mitigate, or decline) once triage is complete.
  • Public disclosure, if any, coordinated with the reporter after a fix or mitigation is available.

Scope

This policy covers the contents of this repository — the marketplace manifest, the Newton plugin, the Newton skill, and the generated tool-rules files. It does not cover:

  • The Claude Code CLI, Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, the Claude API, or any other first-party Anthropic product. Please report those through Anthropic's own security channels.
  • Third-party tools that ingest this skill (Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, etc.). Please report those through each tool's own security channel.

Safe harbour

Good-faith security research on this repository — including reproduction of the issue on your own fork or test account — will not be pursued or treated as a violation of this project's terms, provided you:

  • Avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, or disruption to other users.
  • Do not exfiltrate any data beyond the minimum necessary to demonstrate the issue.
  • Give the maintainers a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue before any public disclosure.
