Security Policy

ScriptCat is a Manifest V3 browser extension that runs user-provided scripts with broad privileges, so we take security reports seriously. Thank you for helping keep users safe.

Supported Versions

ScriptCat is distributed through the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, and Edge Add-ons and auto-updates to the latest release. Security fixes ship in new releases only:

Version Supported
Latest stable release
Current beta channel
Any older / superseded version ❌ — update to the latest

Because the stores auto-update, staying on the latest version is the most reliable mitigation.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub Issues, Discord, the Telegram group, or any other public channel — doing so discloses the issue to attackers before a fix is available.

Instead, report it privately:

  1. Preferred — GitHub private vulnerability reporting. Open a private advisory at https://github.com/scriptscat/scriptcat/security/advisories/new (repo Security tab → Report a vulnerability). The report is visible only to you and the maintainers.
  2. Fallback. If you cannot use that, send a private direct message to a maintainer via Telegram or Discord asking for a private channel — do not post details in the public chat.

Please include, as far as you can:

  • affected version(s), browser, and OS;
  • the impact — what an attacker can actually do;
  • step-by-step reproduction, plus a proof-of-concept userscript or page if applicable;
  • any suggested fix or mitigation.

What to expect

  • We aim to acknowledge your report within a few days and to keep you updated as we investigate.
  • We follow coordinated disclosure: we prepare a fix and agree a disclosure timeline with you before any public write-up, and we credit you unless you ask to stay anonymous.

中文上报指引

不要通过公开的 GitHub Issue、Discord、Telegram 群或任何公开渠道提交安全漏洞——那会在修复发布前把问题暴露给攻击者。

请改用私密渠道:

请尽量附上:受影响版本 / 浏览器 / 操作系统、影响说明(攻击者能做什么)、复现步骤与 PoC、以及可能的修复建议。我们会尽快确认并与你协调披露时间,默认在公开前先修复,并为你署名(除非你希望匿名)。
