Reporting a Vulnerability

Report security vulnerabilities to elderreimondpena@gmail.com.

Do not open public issues for verified or suspected security vulnerabilities.

Response timeline:

  • Acknowledgment within 72 hours
  • Fix target within 14 days for critical issues
  • Disclosure coordinated after patch release

Scope

RecoverX is a forensic file recovery and carving tool. It operates on disk images and block devices provided by the user. The tool itself does not transmit data over a network. Security concerns are primarily related to:

  • Maliciously crafted disk images that could trigger unexpected code paths
  • Command injection via file paths or device names
  • Resource exhaustion from pathological inputs

Best Practices

  • Always scan disk images from trusted sources
  • Run with minimal required privileges
  • Validate inputs when using programmatic APIs
