Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

If you discover a security issue, report it privately so we can address it before public disclosure.

Preferred: GitHub Security Advisories (private report)

Email (optional): security@mortolian.com — use if you cannot access GitHub advisories

Include as much detail as possible:

  • Description of the issue and potential impact
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Affected version or commit
  • Any proof-of-concept or suggested fix (optional)

We aim to acknowledge reports within 72 hours and will keep you informed of progress.

What to report

Examples of issues we care about:

  • Authentication or session bypass
  • Cross-team data access (tenant isolation)
  • SQL injection, XSS, CSRF in sensitive flows
  • Insecure file upload or download
  • Webhook or payment integration flaws (Stripe, PayFast)
  • Secrets or credentials exposed in the repository

What is out of scope

  • Denial-of-service against a self-hosted instance without a demonstrated application flaw
  • Issues in third-party services (report to the vendor)
  • Missing security headers on deployments you control
  • Social engineering

Safe harbour

We appreciate responsible disclosure. We will not pursue legal action against researchers who report issues in good faith and follow this policy.

Self-hosters

If you run your own instance:

  • Keep APP_DEBUG=false in production
  • Use HTTPS and strong passwords for database, Redis, and MinIO
  • Apply updates from master or tagged releases promptly
  • See docs/SELF_HOST.md
