Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do NOT open a public issue to report a security vulnerability.

Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting to submit your report directly. This keeps the details confidential while we work on a fix.

If the vulnerability is in a specific repository (e.g. zaparoo-app, go-pn532), please report it through that repository's Security tab → "Report a vulnerability" instead.

What to Include

  • Steps to reproduce the vulnerability
  • Affected version(s) and platform(s)
  • Impact assessment (what an attacker could achieve)
  • Any proof-of-concept code, if available

Supported Versions

We accept vulnerability reports for the latest stable release and the current development branch (main). Older releases are not supported with security patches — users should update to the latest version.

Response Timeline

  • Acknowledgement: within 3 business days
  • Initial assessment: within 7 business days
  • Fix or mitigation: depends on severity, but we aim for 30 days for critical issues

Disclosure Policy

We follow coordinated disclosure. Once a fix is available, we will:

  1. Release a patched version
  2. Publish a GitHub Security Advisory with full details
  3. Credit the reporter (unless they prefer to remain anonymous)

We ask that reporters do not disclose the vulnerability publicly until a fix has been released. If you have not received a response within 14 days, you may follow up on your original report.
