Security Policy

Promptfall is a static browser game published by a security community — so its own security posture should hold up to scrutiny. This document describes what is in scope, how to report a vulnerability privately, and what to expect.

Security model

Promptfall is deliberately simple: static files served from GitHub Pages. There is no backend, no database, no account system, and no user-generated content. The public site runs cookieless pageview counters (GoatCounter and Cloudflare Web Analytics) and stores nothing about players. That keeps the attack surface small — but not zero.

Scope

In scope — vulnerabilities in Promptfall itself:

  • Script injection / XSS — any path where game content (level data, lesson text, quiz content, song lyrics) or URL parameters reach the DOM unsafely.
  • Supply chain — the npm dependency tree, the build pipeline, and anything that could alter what ships to the published site.
  • CI / deployment — the GitHub Actions workflows that build and deploy to Pages, including secrets handling and permissions.
  • Third-party embeds — the analytics beacons: anything that would let them execute beyond their documented, cookieless pageview role.

Out of scope:

  • Gameplay bugs, balance issues, and broken levels — file a regular issue.
  • Accuracy of the OWASP educational content — also a regular issue; we want the report, just not through the security channel.
  • Availability of GitHub Pages itself.

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not file a public GitHub issue for a security vulnerability. Use GitHub's private security advisory:

  1. Go to the Security tab on this repository.
  2. Click Report a vulnerability.
  3. Include enough detail to reproduce — the page, the input or content path involved, the observed behavior, and browser/OS if relevant.

GitHub will create a private advisory thread between you and the project maintainers. If GitHub Security Advisories are unavailable to you for any reason, email developer@exabeam.com with the subject line Promptfall security report and the same level of detail.

What to expect

  • We aim to acknowledge reports within a few business days.
  • Confirmed vulnerabilities are fixed in the live site (it deploys from main, so fixes ship as soon as they merge) and credited in the release notes unless you prefer otherwise.
  • Since the only distribution channel is the published site, there are no old versions to patch: the latest deployment is the only supported version.

There aren't any published security advisories
