Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Report vulnerabilities through GitHub private vulnerability reporting for this repository. Include:

  • a short description of the issue,
  • affected area, for example backend, frontend, Kubernetes, CI/CD, or seed data,
  • reproduction steps or proof of concept,
  • potential impact,
  • suggested fix, if known.

I will try to acknowledge valid reports within 7 days.

If the issue is accepted, I will prioritize a fix based on impact and may publish a security advisory or release note after the fix is available. If the report is declined, I will explain why when possible.

Scope

In scope:

  • authentication and authorization issues,
  • exposed secrets or credentials,
  • dependency vulnerabilities with practical impact,
  • unsafe file or object-storage access,
  • deployment configuration that exposes private services or data.

Out of scope:

  • denial-of-service against the public demo instance,
  • automated scanner output without a reproducible impact,
  • vulnerabilities in unsupported old tags,
  • issues that require access to private local configuration or secrets,
