Security Policy

Supported versions

limen is in pre-1.0 development. Until a tagged 1.0 release, only the tip of the develop branch receives security fixes. Once 1.0 ships, the latest minor release receives fixes.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, report privately by either of:

Please include:

  • A description of the issue and its impact.
  • Steps to reproduce, or a proof-of-concept if you have one.
  • The version of limen (or commit SHA) where you observed the issue.
  • Your environment: OS, terminal emulator, Go version if relevant.

You can expect:

  • An acknowledgement within 72 hours.
  • A status update within 7 days, including a planned fix timeline or a rationale for closing the report.
  • Credit in the release notes when the fix ships, if you'd like.

Scope

limen is a CLI tool that reads JSON from local disk and shells out to ssh and tmux. The primary attack surface to consider:

  • hosts.json parsing. Malformed input must fail safely, not exec unexpected commands.
  • SSH command construction. Values from hosts.json end up as arguments to ssh. Verify nothing in the construction path allows argument injection (e.g. a hostname like --option=...).
  • The tmux ls output parser. Output is treated as data; nothing should be evaluated as a command.

Out of scope:

  • Vulnerabilities in ssh, tmux, the user's ~/.ssh/config, or the bubbletea / lipgloss libraries themselves. Report those upstream.
  • Bugs that require an attacker to already have write access to the user's ~/.config/limen/ directory — at that point they own the user account.
