Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please follow these steps:

Private Disclosure

Do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security issues via:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories: Use the Security tab in this repository
  2. Email: Contact the maintainers directly at security@codesnippetspro.com (if configured)

What to Include

When reporting a vulnerability, please provide:

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Potential impact and severity assessment
  • Suggested fix or mitigation (if known)
  • Your contact information for follow-up

Response Timeline

  • Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
  • Initial Assessment: We will provide an initial assessment within 5 business days
  • Resolution: Critical vulnerabilities will be addressed with high priority; timeline depends on complexity

Disclosure Policy

  • Security issues will be privately addressed before public disclosure
  • We will coordinate disclosure timing with the reporter
  • Public disclosure will occur after a fix is released and users have time to update

Security Best Practices

When using this action:

  1. Pin versions: Use specific version tags (e.g., @v1.0.0) rather than @main
  2. Credential management: Use GitHub Secrets for sensitive credentials (SVN passwords, tokens)
  3. Review dependencies: Regularly update to the latest supported version
  4. Audit usage: Monitor action logs for unexpected behavior

Known Security Considerations

Docker Socket Access

This action uses docker run and docker exec commands on the GitHub Actions runner. While the action itself does not bind-mount the Docker socket or use privileged mode, users should be aware that:

  • The action requires Docker to be available on the runner
  • Commands are executed via Docker on the runner host
  • Ensure your runner environment follows security best practices

Credential Exposure

When using SVN commands with authentication:

  • Always use GitHub Secrets for credentials
  • Use --no-auth-cache flag to prevent credential caching
  • Use --non-interactive to avoid interactive prompts
  • Review logs to ensure credentials are not inadvertently exposed

Contact

For security-related questions or concerns, please contact the maintainers through the appropriate channels listed above.
