Security: IOExtend/IOViewer

SECURITY.md

Security policy

Supported versions

IOViewer is in preview (0.x). 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 IOViewer, the command or 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

IOViewer reads files that can come from untrusted sources and writes HTML that is opened in a browser. Problems that matter most:

  • crashes, hangs or unbounded memory use caused by a crafted .glb, .obj or .json file;
  • script injection into the generated HTML through model names, properties or other text taken from the input;
  • writing files outside the path a command was given;
  • the --serve preview server exposing files other than the generated viewer, or listening beyond the local machine;
  • any other behaviour of the library that executes code or contacts the network (the library does neither; only the CLI --serve option opens a local HTTP server).
