How to report a vulnerability

Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting: open the repository's Security tab and click "Report a vulnerability". The report stays private, and the advisory and CVE, if one is warranted, come out of the same thread.

If you cannot use GitHub, email camilo.aguilar@gmail.com with the same details you would put in the report.

Do not open a public issue for a vulnerability.

What to expect

One maintainer runs this project. You get an acknowledgment within 7 days and an assessment — confirmed, not a vulnerability, or needs more information — within 30. I promise communication, not a fix date; the fix date comes out of the assessment.

Scope

In scope: the library as shipped — the TLS client, the crypto primitives, and the reference DRBG in drbg.[ch].

Out of scope, so triage stays fast:

  • Physical side channels: power analysis, electromagnetic leakage, fault injection.
  • Attacks that require a malicious ch_cfg, malicious I/O callbacks, or a compromised platform. The caller is trusted; the peer and the network are not.
  • Denial of service against the device that runs the caller's code. The caller owns its own event loop and timeouts.

The README's verification section and docs/decisions.md state the threat model in detail: what is proved, at what bounds, and what is only tested.

Supported versions

The latest release only. One maintainer does not promise backports.

Disclosure policy

Coordinated disclosure with a 90-day default, negotiable in either direction — shorter when the fix is easy, longer when a deployment needs it. Reporters get credited in the advisory unless they decline.
