We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly.

What to Expect

  • Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours of your report
  • Initial Assessment: Within 1 week
  • Resolution Timeline: Depends on severity and complexity
  • Credit: We'll credit you in the release notes (unless you prefer anonymity)

Scope

Security issues we're interested in:

  • Local file access beyond intended scope
  • Arbitrary code execution
  • Data corruption or loss

Security Best Practices

Kindling is a desktop application that:

  • Stores data locally in SQLite databases
  • Reads project files from user-specified locations
  • Does not transmit data over the network (in current version)

For Users

  • Download Kindling only from official sources (GitHub Releases)
  • Verify checksums when available
  • Keep your operating system updated
  • Be cautious when importing files from untrusted sources
