Security policy

Security and trust

The Team Fortress 2 module executes C# and starts the Source dedicated server with the current user's Windows permissions. WindowsGSH cannot guarantee arbitrary third-party or modified modules. Review source, manifests, dependencies, and download origins before use.

Download modules safely

Obtain the module from the official repository or another trusted source and install server files/plugins through legitimate Steam sources. Review MetaMod/SourceMod plugins independently and match their architecture to the selected server executable.

Protect credentials and server data

Protect GSLTs, RCON passwords, admin lists, logs, player addresses, plugins, configs, and backups. Keep RCON private and redact secrets from command lines and diagnostics.

Report a vulnerability

Use the private repository advisory page. Do not publish exploits, credentials, private server data, or unredacted diagnostics.

Include in a report

Include module/WindowsGSH/server versions, selected architecture, plugin provenance, reproduction steps, impact, and sanitized diagnostics.

Supported versions

Security fixes target the latest module release and current WindowsGSH module API unless stated otherwise.
