Security Policy

Supported Versions

Subterrans is in pre-1.0 development. Only the main branch receives security fixes. Once we tag releases, this table will list supported ranges.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open public issues for security-sensitive bugs.

Use GitHub's Private Vulnerability Reporting on this repository:

  1. Go to the repository's Security tab.
  2. Click Report a vulnerability.
  3. Fill out the private advisory form with as much detail as you can provide.

This routes the report directly to the maintainers through an authenticated, private channel — your email is never exposed and we get a GitHub notification.

What to Include

  • A clear description of the issue and its impact.
  • Steps to reproduce (seed, inputs, save-file snippet — whatever applies).
  • Affected commit SHA or version if known.
  • Proof-of-concept if you have one.
  • Your suggested severity (CVSS or plain language is fine).

What to Expect

  • Initial acknowledgement: within 7 days.
  • Triage and preliminary assessment: within 14 days.
  • Fix or mitigation plan: communicated privately before any public disclosure.
  • Credit: if you want it, we'll credit you in the advisory and release notes; if not, we'll keep your report anonymous.

Subterrans is a small, early-stage project — responses may be slower than a commercial product. Thanks for your patience.

Scope

In scope:

  • Code in this repository (game client, simulation, save/load, any server components if added later).
  • Save-file parsing (e.g. crafted save files causing RCE or denial-of-service in the client).
  • Dependency vulnerabilities with a working impact path into this codebase.

Out of scope:

  • The surrounding website infrastructure, marketing site, and account/login systems — those are separate projects and have their own reporting channels.
  • Vulnerabilities in upstream dependencies without a demonstrated impact on Subterrans; please report those to the upstream project first.
  • Social engineering, physical attacks, or anything requiring prior compromise of a user's device.

Safe Harbor

We will not pursue legal action against researchers who:

  • Make a good-faith effort to follow this policy.
  • Avoid privacy violations, data destruction, or service disruption.
  • Give us reasonable time to fix the issue before public disclosure.

Thanks for helping keep Subterrans and its players safe.
