Security Policy

CopyFail Guard is a defensive mitigation utility. It intentionally does not include exploit code, privilege-escalation proof-of-concepts, or weaponized vulnerability checks.

Reporting a security issue

If you find a security issue in this project, please open a private advisory on GitHub or contact the maintainer directly through the repository owner profile.

Please include:

  • affected command or file
  • host/container runtime details
  • exact CopyFail Guard commit or release
  • reproduction steps that do not include exploit payloads
  • expected vs actual behavior

Scope

In scope:

  • unsafe file writes or symlink handling
  • incorrect mitigation/rollback behavior
  • seccomp profile corruption
  • misleading verification output
  • documentation that could cause unsafe production rollout

Out of scope:

  • requests for exploit code
  • proving exploitability of a third-party kernel build
  • bypasses requiring root on the host
  • unrelated hardening requests outside algif_aead / AF_ALG

Design principles

  • Patch and reboot remain the definitive fix.
  • Mitigation must be reversible and auditable.
  • Container seccomp guidance should preserve existing baseline policy where possible.
  • Validation must be non-exploit and safe to run in production-like environments.
