The following are in scope for security reports:
- GitHub Actions workflows: Secrets exposure, workflow injection, supply-chain attacks
- Python scraper (
scripts/update_jobs.py): Arbitrary code execution, SSRF, credential leakage - Dependency vulnerabilities: Known CVEs in
requirements.txtdependencies - GitHub Pages frontend (
docs/): XSS, content injection, open redirects config.yml: Configurations that could enable malicious scraping behavior
The following are out of scope:
- Vulnerabilities in third-party job boards (Greenhouse, Lever, etc.) — report to those vendors
- Rate-limiting or IP banning by scraped sites (expected operational behavior)
- Social engineering attacks
When contributing to this project, please observe the following:
- Never hardcode credentials, tokens, or API keys — use GitHub Secrets and environment variables
- Validate all external data — data from scraped APIs should be treated as untrusted
- Pin dependency versions — use exact versions in
requirements.txtto prevent supply-chain attacks - Review GitHub Actions permissions — workflows should request the minimum permissions required
Thank you for helping keep New Grad Jobs and its users safe.
