Reporting a vulnerability

Report privately through GitHub: Open a private security advisory

Do not open a public issue, pull request, or discussion for a security problem, and do not post details publicly before a fix is available.

What belongs here

This repository is documentation. Reports in scope:

  • A rule, field table, state transition, or test vector on this site that is wrong in a way that could cause loss of funds or a divergent implementation.
  • A claim about Bitcoin Universe support that overstates what the products actually do.
  • A defect in the client-side validator that reports a valid payload as invalid, or an invalid payload as valid.
  • A privacy or supply-chain problem with the site itself: unexpected network requests, injected third-party resources, or content that could execute untrusted code.

Report elsewhere:

  • Vulnerabilities in the BRC-20 protocol rules themselves belong upstream with the Layer1 Foundation.
  • Vulnerabilities in Bitcoin Universe applications, wallets, or indexers belong in that product's repository, or through private advisory on the relevant repository.

What to include

  • The exact page and, where applicable, the rule number (for example spec.html#r16).
  • What the documentation says and what the correct behavior is.
  • Evidence: a reference to the upstream rules, a reference implementation, or an on-chain example.
  • The impact you expect if an implementer follows the incorrect text.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement of the report through the advisory thread.
  • An assessment of impact and, for confirmed issues, a correction to the affected pages and an entry in the changelog.
  • Credit in the advisory if you want it.

Safe harbour

Testing against this site means reading it and running the client-side validator in your own browser. Do not attempt to attack GitHub infrastructure, other users, or unrelated Bitcoin Universe systems as part of a report.
