Reporting a vulnerability

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

Email the maintainer directly at a.lacava@northeastern.edu with the subject prefix [SECURITY]. Include:

  • A description of the vulnerability and its impact.
  • Steps to reproduce (commands, configuration, sample inputs).
  • The version / commit you tested against.
  • Any suggested mitigation, if you have one.

You may use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting on the public mirror as an alternative.

Supported versions

This is a research library. Only the latest minor release on main is actively supported with security fixes.

Version Supported
Latest main Yes
Older releases No (please upgrade)

Response expectations

  • We aim to acknowledge reports within 7 calendar days.
  • Critical issues are targeted for a fix within 30 days of acknowledgement; lower-severity issues are scheduled with the reporter.
  • Disclosure is coordinated with the reporter. Reporters are credited in release notes unless they request otherwise.

Scope

In scope: code under this repository, its build/release pipeline, and its packaging on PyPI (dapps).

Out of scope: third-party dependencies (please report to the upstream project), infrastructure outside this repo, and issues that require attacker-controlled access to a host already running the dApp.

There aren't any published security advisories
