Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

If you discover a security vulnerability in this project, please report it responsibly:

  1. Do NOT open a public GitHub issue
  2. Email the maintainers directly or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature
  3. Include detailed information about the vulnerability:
    • Description of the issue
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if any)

Supported Versions

Version Supported

Security Measures

This project implements several security controls:

Command Injection Prevention

  • Uses execFile and execFileSync instead of exec to prevent shell injection
  • Validates all user-provided git references against a strict pattern
  • No user input is directly interpolated into shell commands

Path Traversal Protection

  • All file paths are validated to ensure they remain within the working directory
  • Symlinks are resolved and checked against the working directory
  • Only .js and .mjs files are allowed for proof-of-concept execution

Input Validation

  • Git references are validated with regex patterns
  • File paths undergo realpath resolution and boundary checks
  • Timeout and buffer limits on executed commands

Least Privilege

  • PoC execution is limited to Node.js scripts only
  • 30-second timeout on PoC execution
  • 1MB output buffer limit

Security Analysis Features

This tool is designed to identify security vulnerabilities in code, including:

  • Hardcoded secrets
  • Injection vulnerabilities (SQL, XSS, Command Injection, SSRF)
  • Broken access control
  • Insecure data handling
  • Authentication issues
  • LLM safety concerns
  • Privacy violations

  4. Keep dependencies up to date
  5. Run npm audit regularly

Dependency Management

  • Dependencies are regularly updated
  • npm audit is run to identify vulnerable dependencies
  • Lock files are committed to ensure reproducible builds
