Reporting a Vulnerability

The team takes security vulnerabilities seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose any vulnerabilities you find.

How to Report

Please do NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via one of the following methods:

  1. Email: Send details to security@mitosis.org
  2. GitHub Security Advisories: Use the private vulnerability reporting feature

🔐 Optional: If your report contains sensitive information, we recommend encrypting it using PGP.
Our public key is currently unavailable but will be published by [DATE]. In the meantime, please use one of the following secure methods:

  • Use a secure file-sharing service with password protection and share the password via a separate channel.
  • Encrypt your report using a tool like OpenSSL and share the decryption key via a separate channel.

What to Include

When reporting a vulnerability, please include:

  • Type of issue (e.g., buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
  • Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
  • The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  • Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: We will acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 48 hours
  • Investigation: We will investigate and validate the vulnerability within 7 days
  • Resolution: We will work on a fix and provide updates on our progress
  • Disclosure: We will coordinate with you on the disclosure timeline

Responsible Disclosure

We believe in responsible disclosure and ask that you:

  • Give us reasonable time to investigate and fix the issue before public disclosure
  • Do not access, modify, or delete data that doesn't belong to you
  • Do not perform any actions that could negatively impact other users
  • Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability until we have addressed it

Security Features

chain implements several security measures:

  • Code Audits: Regular security audits of critical components
  • Dependency Scanning: Automated scanning for known vulnerabilities in dependencies
  • Static Analysis: Continuous static code analysis for security issues
  • Access Controls: Strict access controls for critical infrastructure
