Reporting a vulnerability

If you find a security issue — a secret-handling bug, an injection in the browser/MCP paths, an unsafe-deserialization, a supply-chain concern, or anything that could harm a user running this tool — please report it privately:

  • Use GitHub's Report a vulnerability (Security → Advisories), or
  • Open a minimal issue that says "security — please contact me" without the exploit details, and we'll move it to a private channel.

Please do not open a public issue with a working exploit before it's fixed.

We aim to acknowledge reports within a few days and to fix confirmed issues promptly. Thank you for disclosing responsibly.

Scope & handling of secrets

  • API keys are never committed. Commercial-detector and LLM keys are read from environment variables or a gitignored .env (see .env.example). The CLIs auto-load .env; real shell vars win.
  • Key-gated by design. No commercial-detector or hosted-LLM call runs unless you set its key — nothing bills silently.
  • No telemetry. This tool does not phone home. The only network calls are the detector/LLM APIs you configure and the optional --browser checker you point at a site.

Supported versions

This is an alpha research project; security fixes land on main. Pin a commit if you need stability.
