Security Policy

Supported versions

VortexFlow currently has a single active branch (main). Only the latest commit on main receives security fixes. There are no released versions or maintenance branches.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue or pull request for a security vulnerability.

Instead, email the maintainer with the details:

  • Contact: pierre@redtrash.fr
  • Subject: [VortexFlow security] followed by a one-line summary

Include in your report:

  • The commit hash you tested against (git rev-parse HEAD).
  • A description of the vulnerability and its impact.
  • Steps to reproduce, ideally with a minimal proof-of-concept.
  • Any suggested mitigation, if you have one.

Response timeline

This is a small project with a single active maintainer; responses are best-effort.

Step Target
Acknowledgement of receipt within 7 days
Initial assessment within 14 days
Fix or mitigation plan communicated to reporter within 30 days
Public disclosure (after a fix is shipped) coordinated with reporter

Scope

In scope:

  • The backend/ Express API and its session handling
  • The frontend/ React application
  • The DOT validator and parser
  • Build / deployment configuration committed in this repository

Out of scope:

  • Third-party dependencies (please report upstream and let us know)
  • Issues that require physical access to a user's machine
  • Social engineering or denial-of-service against the maintainer
  • Findings on the dev host hardcoded in scripts (192.168.5.30) — that's a local-only address, not a deployed instance

Acknowledgements

If your report leads to a fix, you'll be credited (with your consent) in the relevant changelog entry under doc/changelog/.
