Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report security issues privately, not as a public issue.

Use Report a vulnerability on this repository's Security tab. It opens a private thread visible only to the maintainer. If that isn't available to you, email security@whsoul-tools.com instead.

Please include what you were doing, what happened, and enough detail to reproduce it. If you believe the issue is being exploited, say so in the first line.

This is a small project maintained by one person. You should get a first reply within a week. If you hear nothing after that, assume the message did not arrive and follow up by email.

Supported versions

Only the latest release receives fixes. Kaflow Search has no auto-update, so applying a fix means downloading the new version from the releases page.

What is in scope

In scope The desktop application, the published crates in this repository, and the online services it contacts
Out of scope Your Kafka cluster, Schema Registry, or credentials — the app talks to systems you configure, and how those are secured is outside its control
Also out of scope The unsigned installer warning. That is expected and documented in the README; it is not a vulnerability report

What the app does with your data

Messages, credentials, and search queries stay on your machine. What does leave it, and what is retained, is described in the Privacy Notice.

Disclosure

Please give a reasonable window to ship a fix before publishing details. Once a fix is released, credit is given in the advisory unless you prefer otherwise.

There aren't any published security advisories
