  • Type of vulnerability
  • Full paths of affected source files
  • Location of the affected code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the issue

Security Best Practices

When using Orb:

  1. Keep Updated: Always use the latest version
  2. WebView Security: Be aware that tab WebViews load external content
  3. URL Validation: Be cautious when opening untrusted URLs
  4. File Permissions: Review file permissions when installing
  5. Dependencies: Keep system WebView engines updated

Known Security Considerations

WebView Isolation

  • Each tab uses a WebView to render web content
  • Standard web security policies apply (CORS, CSP, etc.)
  • No special sandboxing beyond system WebView engine

IPC Communication

  • Communication between Go and JavaScript is intentional
  • All bound functions are documented
  • No arbitrary code execution from web content to Go

Local File Access

  • The UI WebView only loads local trusted files
  • No remote content in the 3D space UI
  • Tab WebViews follow standard browser security

Security Updates

Security updates will be released as soon as possible after a vulnerability is confirmed. Updates will be announced via:

  • GitHub Security Advisories
  • Release notes
  • Project README
