This repository is a fork: upstream ava-labs/coreth plus the Chaintable pipeline tracer, which exports block data (headers, transactions, call traces, receipts, events, state diffs) to the Chaintable data pipeline.
First, determine where the issue lives. The key question: does it reproduce on an unmodified upstream build?
-
Upstream issue — reproduces on vanilla upstream (typically consensus, p2p networking, EVM execution, transaction pool, standard RPC, storage). It affects every user of the upstream client, not just this fork. Follow the upstream security process, not this document: https://github.com/ava-labs/coreth/security/policy
We pick up upstream security fixes through periodic upstream merges; please do not disclose upstream vulnerabilities here.
-
This fork's issue — only reproduces with this fork's binaries or published images, or involves the Chaintable pipeline layer: the pipeline tracer and its block-data output, the Dockerfile / image build, or the CI workflows. Follow our process below.
We provide security updates for the latest main branch and recent releases.
| Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| main | ✅ |
| Latest release | ✅ |
| older versions | ❌ |
If you discover a security issue in the Chaintable pipeline layer, do not open a public issue.
Please report it privately:
- GitHub Security Advisory on this repository (preferred)
- Email: bugbounty@debank.com
Include:
- Description of the issue
- Impact / severity assessment
- Steps to reproduce
- Proof of concept (if available)
We aim to:
- Acknowledge within 72 hours
- Provide initial assessment within 3–5 days
- Fix and release as soon as possible depending on severity
- We follow responsible disclosure
- Fixes may be developed privately before public release
- Credit will be given unless you request anonymity
Typical security-relevant areas of the Chaintable pipeline layer include:
- Integrity of the emitted block data (ordering, duplication, corruption)
- The pipeline tracer and any RPC endpoints it adds
- Resource exhaustion introduced by the pipeline tracer (memory / goroutine leaks)
- The published Docker images and the build / CI pipeline
This fork is a data producer for the Chaintable pipeline: its output feeds downstream indexing and query systems. Security issues here may propagate downstream — please report anything suspicious.
