Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public GitHub issue for a suspected vulnerability. This repository is public; an issue describing a live weakness is a disclosure to everyone who can read it, including before it is fixed.

Report privately, by either route:

  • GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting — the Security tab → Report a vulnerability. Preferred, because it keeps the report, the discussion and the fix in one place.
  • Direct contact@ib823 on Telegram, as listed in LICENSE.

Please include what you observed, the URL or code path, and what an attacker would gain. A proof-of-concept helps; testing beyond what is needed to demonstrate the issue does not.

What to expect

This is a small project without a staffed security team, so no response-time guarantee is offered rather than one being offered and missed. Reports are read and acted on; expect an acknowledgement within a week.

Scope

Only the code in this repository. Do not test against the live deployment — it carries real engagement data belonging to third parties. Run it locally (see README) and demonstrate findings there.

Out of scope: findings that require an already-compromised account or device; missing hardening headers with no demonstrated impact; results from automated scanners submitted without a working proof-of-concept; and denial of service.

What this repository does not contain

No credentials, connection strings, API keys or tokens are committed. Every credential-shaped value in the tree is a placeholder in .env.example or a postgres:postgres@localhost fixture used by CI and the test suite. Real values live only in the deployment environment.

If you believe you have found a genuine secret in the repository or its history, treat it as a vulnerability and report it privately using the routes above.

Licence note

This software is proprietary and all rights are reserved. Public readability is not a licence to use, copy or modify it — see LICENSE. Reporting a security issue in good faith is welcome regardless.
