Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue.

Report privately through GitHub Security Advisories:

https://github.com/oddurs/harrow/security/advisories/new

Include what you can: the version (harrow --version), your platform, what harrow was pointed at, and the smallest reproduction you have. harrow --screenshot 120x40 renders a frame as text with no terminal involved, which often makes a report reproducible on its own.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement within 3 days. If you have not heard back by then, assume it went astray and open a public issue saying only that you are waiting on a private report — no details.
  • An assessment within 7 days, with a severity and a plan.
  • A fix or a documented mitigation within 30 days for anything exploitable.
  • Credit in the release notes, unless you would rather not be named.

Scope

harrow reads Markdown files from the repository you point it at and shells out to cairn to change them. The interesting boundaries are:

  • Item files are untrusted input. They may come from a repository you cloned. A malformed or hostile item file must never do more than produce a warning in the diagnostics overlay.
  • Every subprocess is a cairn invocation built from a fixed argument vector, never a shell string. A report that shows an item's contents reaching a shell is a real finding.
  • The terminal must always be handed back, including on panic and on a signal. A path that leaves a terminal in raw mode is a bug worth reporting, though not usually a security one.

Out of scope: anything requiring an attacker who can already write to your ~/.config/harrow/, run arbitrary commands as you, or edit the repository you are working in.
