Rig reads your entire codebase to build its graph and runs a local server that exposes it over MCP and HTTP. We take that trust seriously.
- Everything is local. The graph lives in
.rig/rig.dbinside your project. Embeddings run on-device. No code, query, or graph data is uploaded anywhere. - The web map binds to loopback (
127.0.0.1) by default. Binding to a non-loopback address requires a bearer token (--auth); Rig refuses to bind externally without one. rig installwrites MCP server entries into your agent's config files (e.g..claude.json). It merges, never clobbers.- The first run downloads an embedding model from the Hugging Face CDN to your local model cache. This is the only outbound network call in the core flow.
Until a 1.0 release, only the latest published version receives security fixes.
Please do not open a public issue for security reports.
Email kingolajohn55@gmail.com with:
- a description of the issue and its impact,
- steps to reproduce (a minimal repro is ideal),
- any suggested remediation.
We aim to acknowledge within 72 hours and to ship a fix or mitigation before public disclosure. We'll credit you in the changelog unless you'd prefer to remain anonymous.
In scope: the rig CLI, the MCP server, the web server/auth, the installer's config writes, and anything that could exfiltrate local code or graph data.
Out of scope: vulnerabilities in upstream dependencies (report those upstream), and issues requiring a pre-compromised local machine.
