SECURITY.md

Security policy

Thank you for helping keep FilesCtrl and its users safe.

Reporting a problem

Please don't report security problems in a public issue. Report them privately instead:

  1. Go to the Security tab of this repo.
  2. Click Report a vulnerability and describe what you found, how to reproduce it, and which version of FilesCtrl you used.

Only the maintainer can see the report. I'll reply as soon as I can, work on a fix, and credit you in the changelog if you'd like.

Supported versions

Only the latest release gets security fixes. Please update before reporting, and check the changelog to see whether it's already fixed.

What counts

  • Your passwords, SSH keys or files leaking to anyone other than your own NFS, SMB, SFTP, FTP or WebDAV server
  • FilesCtrl connecting without checking a server's identity: an SFTP host key or a pinned certificate that changed and was accepted anyway, or HTTPS falling back to plain HTTP
  • A file name from a server or an archive (zip, 7z, rar, tar) making FilesCtrl write outside the folder you chose
  • Ways around the app lock, such as other apps reaching your servers through Android's file picker while FilesCtrl is locked, or protected screens showing up in screenshots when they shouldn't
  • Another app on the phone being able to make FilesCtrl read, change or delete files you didn't ask for
  • Anything that lets someone run code or read files they shouldn't

Problems in your NFS, SMB, SFTP, FTP or WebDAV server software itself should go to that project.

How releases are protected

Every release is built from this repo by GitHub Actions and signed with the same release key. Its SHA-256 certificate fingerprint is:

28:D8:D6:5B:3C:D6:BE:DB:A3:EB:E7:F8:52:21:C8:CE:AB:9B:07:24:02:43:86:35:76:4D:54:CD:E9:EA:70:07

The CtrlF-Droid repo only accepts APKs signed with this key.
