Security Policy

Maintenance model / Wartungsmodell

This project is open source and community-maintained on a best-effort basis. Security fixes and further development are provided by the maintainer and contributors through this public repository. There is no commercial Service Level Agreement (SLA) unless separately agreed in writing.

Because the project is distributed under an open-source license (see LICENSE), any organisation may additionally fork, audit, and self-maintain the code to satisfy internal assurance requirements.

BSI IT-Grundschutz context: Maintenance and the supply of security updates are ensured via active community/maintainer development (documented in CHANGELOG.md and the GitHub release history). Operators with high or very high protection needs should complement this with their own internal maintenance responsibility or a dedicated support agreement, as community support alone does not provide guaranteed response times.


Dieses Projekt ist Open Source und wird durch die Community/den Maintainer nach dem Best-Effort-Prinzip gepflegt. Sicherheitsfixes und Weiterentwicklung erfolgen ueber dieses oeffentliche Repository. Ein kommerzielles SLA besteht nicht, sofern nicht separat schriftlich vereinbart. Da das Projekt unter einer Open-Source-Lizenz steht, kann jede Organisation den Code zusaetzlich forken, pruefen und selbst pflegen, um interne Nachweispflichten zu erfuellen.

Supported versions / Unterstuetzte Versionen

Security updates are provided for the latest released minor version. Older versions receive fixes only at the maintainer's discretion.

Version Supported
1.7.x
< 1.7

Always run the most recent release. See the releases page.

Reporting a vulnerability / Schwachstelle melden

Please do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.

Use one of the following private channels:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories (preferred): Go to the repository's Security tab -> Report a vulnerability (private vulnerability reporting). This keeps the report confidential until a fix is published.
  2. Direct contact: Reach the maintainer via the profile on github.com/BetaHydri.

Please include:

  • Affected version / commit and component (e.g. web service, delegation script).
  • A clear description and, if possible, reproduction steps or a proof of concept.
  • The potential impact (e.g. privilege escalation, information disclosure).

Response process / Reaktionsprozess

Best-effort targets (no contractual guarantee):

Stage Target (best effort)
Acknowledge report within 5 business days
Initial assessment / triage within 10 business days
Fix or mitigation for critical as soon as practicable

Once a fix is available it is published as a new release, referenced in CHANGELOG.md, and — where appropriate — documented in a GitHub Security Advisory with a CVE identifier requested via GitHub.

Coordinated disclosure / Koordinierte Offenlegung

We follow coordinated (responsible) disclosure. Please give the maintainer a reasonable opportunity to publish a fix before disclosing details publicly. Reporters who wish to be credited will be acknowledged in the advisory and/or release notes.

There aren't any published security advisories
