Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not file public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities.

Email <<SECURITY_EMAIL>> with:

  • A description of the vulnerability and its potential impact.
  • Steps to reproduce or a proof-of-concept (if safe to share).
  • Any suggested mitigations you have in mind.

We will acknowledge your report within 14 days and keep you updated on remediation progress. We follow responsible-disclosure practices: we ask that you allow us reasonable time to address the issue before public disclosure.


Supported versions

Version Supported
main (v0.1 alpha) ✅ security fixes go to main only
older tags ❌ no backports until v1.0 is released

quench is in alpha (v0.1). There is no stable release yet. Security fixes are applied to main; we will cut a patch release as needed. Backport support to older tags begins at v1.0.


Scope

In scope

  • Vulnerabilities in quench's Python package code that could compromise a caller's system, data, or credentials when quench is used as documented.
  • Credential leakage via log output, run manifests, or artifact bundles.
  • Path traversal or arbitrary file write via CLI arguments.

Out of scope

The tool sandbox (WBS §6) is NOT a security boundary at v0.1.

Per the risk table in docs/_source/wbs-v3.md §8, the tool sandbox is intended for development and controlled training use only. Running untrusted third-party tool code through quench is explicitly out of scope at this version. Do not run untrusted tool implementations in a security-sensitive environment.

The following are also out of scope:

  • Security of the AWS account or IAM policies that quench operates under (that is the operator's responsibility).
  • Vulnerabilities introduced by dependencies not directly maintained by this project (report those upstream).
  • Social-engineering or phishing attacks against maintainers.

Threat model

See docs/THREAT_MODEL.md for a summary of the threat model and known gaps at v0.1.
