Security: attaform/Attaform

SECURITY.md

Security Policy

Thanks for taking the time to report a security issue in Attaform. Coordinated disclosure helps every consumer of the library, and is genuinely appreciated.

Supported versions

Attaform is pre-1.0. The most recent 0.x minor on the latest dist-tag receives security fixes; older minors do not. Once 1.0 ships, the support window expands; the policy will be updated then.

Version Supported
0.18.x
< 0.18

Reporting a vulnerability

Preferred channel — GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting:

https://github.com/attaform/Attaform/security/advisories/new

This routes the report directly to the maintainer through GitHub's encrypted advisory workflow. The thread stays private until a fix ships and an advisory is published.

Backup channel — email:

oswald.kay.chisala@gmail.com with the subject prefix [security][attaform]. Use this only if GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting is unavailable.

Please include, as best you can:

  • Affected version(s) of Attaform.
  • A minimal reproducer, or a clear description of the attack surface.
  • The impact you've assessed (RCE, data exposure, supply-chain, etc.).
  • Whether the issue is publicly known or already mitigated downstream.

Scope

In scope:

  • The published attaform npm tarball and everything it ships at runtime.
  • The build and publish pipeline under .github/workflows/.
  • The docs site at apps/site/ (the Vercel deployment of docs.attaform.dev and attaform.dev).
  • Repository-level configuration: branch protection, secrets handling, trusted publishing setup.

Out of scope:

  • Transitive dependency CVEs that do not reach Attaform's consumer surface (those are tracked through Dependabot + Dependency Review).
  • Vulnerabilities in third-party Nuxt, Vue, or Vite plugins that the docs site loads but the library itself does not depend on.
  • Social-engineering of maintainers, account-recovery flows, or non-technical impersonation.
  • Issues that require a compromised maintainer credential as a precondition (the project already invests in WebAuthn 2FA, trusted publishing, and branch protection to harden that surface).

Response targets

The maintainer is solo. The targets below are best-effort, not contractual.

  • Initial acknowledgement: within 5 business days of receipt.
  • Triage outcome (confirmed / not-a-vuln / needs-more-info): within 10 business days.
  • Fix timeline:
    • Critical (RCE, supply-chain compromise, prototype pollution affecting consumer code): targeted within 14 days.
    • High / moderate: next patch release on the supported minor.
    • Low / informational: next minor.

If a fix requires a coordinated release window with downstream consumers, the embargo will be discussed in the advisory thread before publication.

Disclosure

After a fix ships:

  1. A GitHub Security Advisory is published with the CVE (if assigned) and credit to the reporter (or anonymous, as preferred).
  2. The advisory is mirrored to the npm registry through npm audit metadata.
  3. A note is added to CHANGELOG.md under the affected version.

Thank you again.
