The maintainers of the ghasum project take security issues seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings. Due to the non-funded and open-source nature of the project, we take a best-efforts approach when it comes to engaging with security reports.

This document should be considered expired after 2026-01-01. If you are reading this after that date, try to find an up-to-date version in the official source repository.

Only the latest release of the project is supported with security updates.

The program considers the Go runtime and CLI arguments to be trusted. The content of the target repository are assumed to be correct but are otherwise untrusted. All other input and external content is considered untrusted. Any violation of availability, confidentiality, or integrity is considered an issue.

The project considers project maintainers and the GitHub infrastructure to be trusted. Any action performed by any other GitHub user against the repository is considered untrusted.

To report a security issue in the latest release or development head, either:

• Report it through GitHub, or
• Send an email to [email protected] with the terms "SECURITY" and "ghasum" in the subject line.

Please do not open a regular issue or Pull Request in the public repository.

To report a security issue in an older version - i.e. the latest release isn't affected - please report it publicly. For example, as a regular issue in the public repository. If in doubt, report the issue privately.

Try to include as many of the following items as possible in a security report:

• An explanation of the problem
• A proof of concept exploit
• A suggested severity
• Relevant CWE identifiers
• The latest affected version
• The earliest affected version
• A suggested patch
