Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in secrets-dispatcher, please open a GitHub issue.

Include:

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Potential impact
  • Suggested fix (if any)

Scope

The following are in scope:

  • Bypassing approval prompts (accessing secrets without user consent)
  • Privilege escalation through the D-Bus proxy
  • Trust rule bypass (request approved that should have been denied)
  • Audit log tampering or evasion
  • Information disclosure through the web UI or API
  • Process chain detection spoofing

Security Model

secrets-dispatcher operates as a same-user proxy — it runs with the same privileges as the user's session. It does not provide isolation between privilege levels; its purpose is to add visibility and approval controls to operations that would otherwise happen silently.

See the README for the full architecture.
