Please report vulnerabilities through GitHub private vulnerability reporting, rather than public issues or pull requests.
Include the affected version or commit, relevant configuration, a
reproducible example (including the exact OCOREAI_HOST / OCOREAI_PORT
bindings used), the model involved, and the demonstrated impact.
Clearly state the access an attacker needs and any required operator
actions. Scanner output alone is not sufficient.
Security fixes target the latest release and main. Older releases may
require an upgrade.
oCoreAI is a single-operator local inference server for the Apple-native coding agent. It is not a multi-tenant, untrusted-input service.
- The local user (the process owner) is trusted. Isolation from hostile local accounts or an already-compromised host is outside the threat model.
- In scope: authentication bypass of
OCOREAI_API_KEYS/OCOREAI_ADMIN_KEYS(including the non-loopback bind gate inServerAuthGate), unauthorized access to model weights, KV cache, prompt/history, or tool results, and unintended code execution on the host process. The admin/UI surface and OpenAI-compatible API routes are in scope. - Out of scope (by design): rate-limit tuning on a single-operator LAN, and any model-behaviour issue (bad output, tool misuse, hallucination) — these are product-quality issues, not vulnerabilities, unless they enable one of the in-scope bypasses.
- Out of scope: the upstream MLX / CoreAI SDK surfaces it consumes. Report those to their own channels.
oCoreAI refuses to bind a non-loopback address without OCOREAI_API_KEYS
set (ServerAuthGate; mirrors omlx 09a7c43). Any report that
depends on bypassing that gate is in scope; reports that assume a user
intentionally exposes an unauthenticated LAN endpoint are not.
Reports on main are reviewed on a best-effort basis. Please coordinate
disclosure through the private report to allow time for a fix or
mitigation. Confirmed vulnerability reports are credited in the relevant
fix or advisory unless the reporter prefers to remain anonymous.
