Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub/GitLab issues.

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities to us privately using one of these methods:

Primary Contact

Email: security@grimrepo.dev (coming soon) PGP Key: Available at .well-known/security.txt

Response Time: We aim to acknowledge reports within 48 hours and provide an initial assessment within 7 days.

Alternative Contacts

For immediate security concerns, you can also reach maintainers via:

What to Include in Your Report

Please include as much of the following information as possible:

  1. Type of vulnerability (e.g., XSS, injection, authentication bypass)
  2. Affected component(s) (e.g., specific module, function, or endpoint)
  3. Step-by-step reproduction instructions
  4. Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if available)
  5. Impact assessment (what an attacker could achieve)
  6. Suggested remediation (if you have ideas)
  7. Your contact information for follow-up questions

Our Commitment

When you report a vulnerability, you can expect:

  1. Acknowledgment within 48 hours
  2. Regular updates on our investigation and remediation progress
  3. Credit in our security advisories (if you wish to be named)
  4. Coordinated disclosure - we will work with you on timing of public disclosure
  5. No legal action against good-faith security researchers

Security Update Process

  1. Triage (1-2 days): Validate and assess severity
  2. Fix Development (variable): Develop and test patch
  3. Advisory Draft (1 day): Prepare security advisory
  4. Coordinated Disclosure (negotiated): Work with reporter on timing
  5. Public Release: Patch release + public advisory
  6. Post-Mortem (optional): Analyze root cause and prevention

Severity Classification

We use the following severity levels:

Critical

  • Remote code execution
  • Authentication bypass
  • Data breach potential
  • Response: Emergency patch within 24-48 hours

High

  • Privilege escalation
  • Cross-site scripting (stored)
  • SQL injection
  • Response: Patch within 7 days

Medium

  • Cross-site scripting (reflected)
  • Information disclosure
  • Denial of service (authenticated)
  • Response: Patch within 30 days

Low

  • Minor information leaks
  • Denial of service (unauthenticated, limited impact)
  • Response: Patch in next scheduled release

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Keep Updated: Always use the latest version
  2. Review Permissions: Understand what access the userscript requires
  3. Audit Sources: Only install from official sources (GitLab, GreasyFork)
  4. Report Issues: If something seems suspicious, report it

For Contributors

  1. Input Validation: Validate all external inputs
  2. Output Encoding: Properly encode outputs to prevent XSS
  3. No Secrets: Never commit API keys, tokens, or credentials
  4. Dependency Audits: Run npm audit before submitting PRs
  5. SAST Tools: Use static analysis tools during development

Known Security Considerations

Userscript Environment

As a userscript, GrimRepo runs in users' browsers with elevated privileges. We take special precautions:

  1. Content Security Policy: We restrict inline scripts and external resources
  2. DOM Isolation: We use shadow DOM to prevent interference
  3. No External Calls: Offline-first architecture minimizes attack surface
  4. Minimal Permissions: We request only necessary browser permissions

Sandboxing

  • User-provided configurations are validated and sanitized
  • No eval() or Function() constructors on user input
  • Strict TypeScript types prevent injection vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Disclosure Policy

We follow Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure:

  1. Private Reporting: Vulnerabilities reported privately
  2. Investigation Period: 90-day maximum before public disclosure
  3. Patch Development: We develop and test fixes
  4. Coordinated Release: Public disclosure after patch is available
  5. Credit: Security researchers credited in advisories (opt-in)
