Security: ehsanenaloo/Winora

.github/SECURITY.md

Security policy

Winora runs as administrator and changes Windows settings, so security reports matter.

Supported versions

Only the latest release gets security fixes. Please update before you report.

Report a problem

Do not open a public issue for a security problem. Use GitHub private vulnerability reporting:

https://github.com/ehsanenaloo/Winora/security/advisories/new

Please include:

  • the Winora version (shown in About Winora) and your Windows build,
  • the part that is affected, such as the desktop app, the command-line tool or the installer,
  • the steps to reproduce it,
  • the impact you expect.

Do not include personal data.

What happens next

The maintainer confirms the report and works on a fix. The fix comes in a new release. You are credited if you want to be. Please give a fair amount of time for a fix before you talk about the problem in public.

Scope

In scope:

  • making Winora change something outside its own lists,
  • making a change happen without the review or without your confirmation,
  • making the app act for a less privileged user or process,
  • leaking personal data through the diagnostics export or the log.

Out of scope:

  • an attacker who already has administrator rights,
  • an attacker who changes their own settings directly,
  • the behavior of Windows or of programs Winora starts,
  • problems that need a modified copy of Winora.
