Security: IOExtend/IOScene

SECURITY.md

Security policy

Supported versions

IOScene is at 0.x: a patch release adds or fixes, and only a minor release may break. Security fixes are made on the latest release only.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for a security problem. Use GitHub private vulnerability reporting: open the Security tab of the repository and choose "Report a vulnerability". Include the version of IOScene, the API call, and a description of the problem. A sample file that triggers it helps, but do not send files with confidential content.

You can expect an acknowledgement within a few days. Fixes are released as soon as they are verified, and the report is credited unless you prefer otherwise.

Scope

IOScene reads scene JSON files that can come from untrusted sources. Problems that matter most:

  • crashes, hangs or unbounded memory use caused by a crafted scene file, in SceneJson or in Validate();
  • any behaviour of the library that executes code, contacts the network or writes outside the path it was given (the library does none of these; it writes only the file passed to SceneJson.Save, through a temporary file next to it that it then moves over that file).

The reader does not validate a scene. A consumer that takes files from untrusted sources calls Validate() and checks the ids it follows.
