Security: IOExtend/RvtIO

SECURITY.md

Security policy

Supported versions

RvtIO 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 RvtIO, 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

RvtIO parses files that can come from untrusted sources. Problems that matter most:

  • crashes, hangs or unbounded memory use caused by a crafted .rvt or .rfa file;
  • writing files outside the folder a command was given (path traversal in output or dump paths);
  • any behaviour that executes code or contacts the network (the library does neither).
