Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security-sensitive reports.

Email the maintainer with:

  1. A description of the issue and impact
  2. Steps to reproduce
  3. Affected versions

We aim to acknowledge reports within a few business days and will coordinate a fix and disclosure timeline with you.

Credentials

tick stores your Jira API token in ~/.config/tick/token or config.toml. Treat these files like passwords:

  • Restrict file permissions (chmod 600 on the token file)
  • Prefer TICK_TOKEN in your shell environment for ephemeral sessions
  • Never commit tokens to git

Local cache

tick writes per-view ticket JSON under ~/.config/tick/cache/. These files can contain issue summaries and metadata. Restrict directory permissions and treat the cache as sensitive on shared machines.
