Security Policy

Supported versions

Only the latest published version of the extension receives security fixes. Older versions are not patched.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, report them privately via GitHub Security Advisories. This sends the report directly to the maintainers and keeps it confidential until a fix is published.

When reporting, please include:

  • A description of the issue and its impact (e.g. data exposure, privilege escalation, persistence across reloads).
  • Steps to reproduce, ideally with a minimal proof-of-concept.
  • The browser, browser version, and extension version where you observed the issue.
  • Any suggested mitigation, if you have one.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement within 7 days of report receipt.
  • Initial assessment (severity, scope, reproducibility) within 14 days.
  • Fix and disclosure timeline depend on severity. Critical issues will be patched and a new version published as soon as a working fix is verified; lower-severity issues may be bundled into the next monthly release.
  • Credit in the release notes (or a CVE record, if applicable), unless you prefer to remain anonymous.

Scope

In scope:

  • Code in this repository (background.js, manifest.json, _locales/).
  • Permissions or behaviors that expose user data beyond what's documented in README.md.
  • Privilege escalation via the extension's API surface.

Out of scope:

  • Vulnerabilities in Chromium itself, or in any browser's chrome.* API surface — please report those to the relevant browser vendor.
  • Social-engineering attacks against extension users.
  • Issues that require an attacker to already have local code execution on the victim's machine.

Contributors who responsibly disclose security issues will be credited here, unless they request anonymity.
