Security Policy

Supported Versions

Security fixes are provided for:

  • The latest release (main and newest tag)

Older tags may not receive patches.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open public issues for security problems.

Use one of these channels instead:

  • GitHub Security Advisory (preferred)
  • Private contact via GitHub to the maintainer

Include:

  • Clear description of the issue
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Impact and affected versions
  • Any suggested mitigation

Out of scope for security reporting:

  • General usage/support questions
  • Feature requests
  • UI/UX improvements without security impact

Response Process

The project will:

  1. Acknowledge the report
  2. Validate and reproduce
  3. Prepare a fix
  4. Publish a patched release and advisory notes when appropriate

Target response timelines:

  • Initial acknowledgment: within 72 hours
  • Triage outcome (confirmed / needs-info / rejected): within 7 days
  • Critical/high issues: prioritized for the next patch release

Severity guidance:

  • Critical: remote code execution, privilege escalation, credential/key compromise
  • High: meaningful local security bypass or sensitive data exposure
  • Medium: limited-impact abuse paths requiring specific preconditions
  • Low: hard-to-exploit or low-impact issues

Scope Notes

This project is a local macOS utility app and does not run a backend service. Most security concerns are expected around:

  • Local permission handling (Accessibility, automation behavior)
  • Packaging/signing integrity
  • Dependency or toolchain issues in release workflow

There aren’t any published security advisories
