Disclosure protocol
Security at Omarchy
How to responsibly report a security vulnerability in Omarchy.
Private channel
Report a vulnerability
If you believe you’ve found a security vulnerability in Omarchy, please tell the Omarchy Security Team privately so we have an opportunity to investigate and fix it before it is made public.
Please don’t report potential vulnerabilities publicly in GitHub Issues, Discord, or social media before they’ve been resolved.
Security boundary
What is a vulnerability?
We consider a bug a security vulnerability when it can be exploited to cross a meaningful security boundary: an untrusted or lower-privileged party gains access, permissions, or control they didn’t already have.
Code that could be more robust but does not cross a security boundary is an improvement rather than a security vulnerability. We may still merge a proposed fix and credit the reporter in our release notes.
Confirmed security vulnerabilities are eligible for credit below regardless of severity. Accepted improvements that don’t cross a security boundary may still be credited in our release notes.
Report contents
What to include
Give us enough information to understand and reproduce the issue:
- The affected component and Omarchy version.
- An explanation of what an attacker can do before and after exploitation.
- Steps to reproduce the issue and any proof of concept.
- Your preferred contact details for follow-up.
Disclosure window
Responsible disclosure
Please act in good faith while investigating and reporting vulnerabilities:
- Only test systems and accounts you own or have explicit permission to test.
- Avoid privacy violations, disruption, data destruction, and service degradation.
- Don’t exploit a vulnerability beyond what is needed to demonstrate it.
- Give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and address the issue before publishing details.
We’ll review your report and keep you informed as we’re able while we work toward a resolution.
