Tacklebox is published as a Go binary and as a container image on GHCR. Only the latest release is actively supported.

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, report them privately via GitHub Security Advisories:

1. Go to the Security tab
2. Click Report a vulnerability
3. Provide a detailed description of the issue, including steps to reproduce

You can expect:

• Acknowledgment within 48 hours
• Status update within 5 business days
• Resolution timeline based on severity

Tacklebox:

• Is written in Go (memory-safe language)
• Runs with elevated privileges (root required for disk operations)
• Executes bootc, dracut, sgdisk, and other system tools with validated arguments
• Uses BuildKit secret mounts, never environment variables, for sensitive data
• Operates on user-provided images from trusted registries

• GitHub Actions are pinned to commit SHAs
• The Go build is reproducible via go build with pinned toolchain
• Container images are built from multi-stage Dockerfiles with minimal surface
• External dependencies are managed via go.mod with checksum verification

We follow coordinated disclosure:

1. Reporter submits vulnerability privately
2. We investigate and develop a fix
3. Fix is released in a new version
4. Advisory is published after release
