Security Policy

Responsible Use

PolicyForge contains documentation of Windows Group Policy configurations, including a Red Team Evasion section that documents attack paths through policy misconfigurations.

This content exists exclusively to help defenders understand attacker techniques and validate their detection coverage. All offensive content:

  • Is paired with a direct defensive mitigation
  • Is mapped to a MITRE ATT&CK technique
  • Requires explicit written authorization to use in any environment

Misuse of this material may violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the Computer Misuse Act (UK), or equivalent laws in your jurisdiction.


Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in PolicyForge's automation scripts or tooling:

  1. Do NOT open a public GitHub issue
  2. Email: security@samotech.dev (or open a GitHub Security Advisory)
  3. Include:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (optional)

We will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours and aim to release a fix within 14 days for critical issues.


Reporting Incorrect Policy Guidance

If a policy entry contains incorrect registry values, wrong CSP mappings, or guidance that could cause harm if followed:

  1. Open a GitHub Issue using the Correction template
  2. Label it security-correction and high-priority
  3. We treat incorrect security guidance as a critical issue

Policy on Offensive Content

PolicyForge will not publish:

  • Zero-day exploits or unpatched vulnerabilities
  • Complete attack toolchains (only technique awareness)
  • Content without a corresponding defensive fix
  • Anything targeting specific organizations or individuals

Content that crosses these lines will be removed immediately upon report.
