Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report vulnerabilities via GitHub Security Advisories.

What to include

  • A description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Potential impact
  • Suggested fix (if any)

Response timeline

  • 48 hours — acknowledgment of your report
  • 7 days — initial assessment and severity classification
  • 30 days — target for a fix release (depending on complexity)

Scope

The following are considered security issues:

  • Credential leaks (passwords, NTLM hashes, Kerberos tokens)
  • Flaws in the NTLMv2 implementation (authentication bypass, replay attacks)
  • TLS verification bypass outside of explicit accept_invalid_certs configuration
  • Memory safety issues in cryptographic operations
  • Sensitive data not being zeroized after use

Out of scope

  • Issues requiring physical access to the machine
  • Social engineering attacks
  • Denial of service via large payloads (use max_envelope_size to limit)

Credit

We will credit reporters in the release notes and CHANGELOG (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
