Security Policy

Supported Versions

Version Supported Notes
0.4.x Latest stable line
0.3.x Critical fixes only
< 0.3 End-of-life

We follow Semantic Versioning as soon as we hit 1.0.0.
Before that, breaking changes may land in any minor release.

Reporting a Vulnerability

  • Private disclosure first.
    Please do not open public GitHub issues for security bugs.

  • How to report

    1. To report a vulnerability, please use the GitHub disclosure in the security tab to alert us to a security issue.
  • What to include
    A minimal PoC or reproduction steps
    Affected Nyx version (nyx --version) and OS
    Impact explanation (e.g. RCE, DoS, data leak)

  • Response timeline
    We acknowledge within 3 business days and give a status update every 7 days thereafter until resolution.

Disclosure Process

  1. We confirm the issue and assign a CVE (via GitHub or MITRE).
  2. A fix is developed on a private branch and back-ported if needed.
  3. Coordinated release: new version on crates.io + public advisory.
  4. Credit is given to the reporter unless they request anonymity.

Scope & Severity

This policy covers vulnerabilities that let an untrusted Nyx input cause:

  • Remote or local code execution in the Nyx process
  • Privilege escalation, data exfiltration, or denial of service

False positives / missed detections in scan results are quality issues, not security issues—please file normal GitHub issues for those.
