SECURITY.md

Security Policy

TokenBench is a client-side JWT toolkit whose entire premise is that your tokens, secrets, and keys never leave your browser. A vulnerability here isn't an inconvenience — it's a broken promise. We take reports seriously and want to make them easy.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report privately, not in a public issue. A public issue on a security tool is a disclosure before there's a fix.

Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:

https://github.com/kalisada/tokenbench/security/advisories/new

(If that link 404s, private reporting hasn't been enabled yet — open a regular issue asking us to enable it, without vulnerability details, and we'll respond.)

What helps:

  • What you found, and the security impact.
  • Steps to reproduce — a token, a payload, or a sequence of actions.
  • The page, browser, and version.

You'll get an acknowledgement within a few days. We'll confirm the issue, agree a timeline, fix it, and credit you if you'd like.

What we're most interested in

Because of what this tool claims, these matter most:

  • Anything that sends a token, secret, key, or claim off the machine — a network request carrying user input, a leak into analytics, a write to storage. The privacy guarantee is the product.
  • XSS — a token or claim value that executes rather than rendering as text.
  • Crypto and key-parsing flaws — a signature reported valid when it isn't, or the reverse; a mishandled PEM/DER/JWK; algorithm-confusion the tool should catch but doesn't.
  • CSP or header weaknesses that widen any of the above.

Scope

  • In scope: the live site (tokenbench.dev) and the code in this repository.
  • Out of scope: findings that require a already-compromised browser or malicious extension; social engineering; volumetric/DoS testing against the host; reports from automated scanners with no demonstrated impact.

Safe harbor

We won't pursue or support legal action against good-faith research that follows this policy: stay within scope, don't access or modify other people's data, don't degrade the service for others, and give us reasonable time to fix an issue before disclosing it publicly.
