Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please report them via one of these methods:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories: Use the Security Advisory feature
  2. Email: Send details to matpiton@protonmail.com

Scope

Security-sensitive areas in this plugin:

  • Crypto (src/crypto.rs): AES-128-CBC primitives. Bugs that allow plaintext recovery without the embedded key, or that cause buffer over-reads on malformed input, are in-scope.
  • Format parsers (src/{dlc,ccf,rsdf,metalink}.rs): Malformed container blobs that trigger panics, infinite loops, or DoS-grade memory growth.
  • Trust boundary: This plugin declares http = false. A change that re-enables outbound network calls without an explicit ADR + plugin.toml capability bump is a security regression.

What to Include

  • Type of vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce (a minimal container blob is ideal)
  • Impact assessment
  • Suggested fix (if any)

Response Timeline

  • Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours
  • Initial assessment: Within 1 week
  • Fix or mitigation: Depends on severity

We appreciate responsible disclosure and will credit reporters in the security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
