Security Policy

Supported versions

We maintain security fixes for the currently released builds of Numeric Clock:

Extension branch GNOME Shell Version line Status
main 45–47 v17.x Actively supported
legacy/42-44 42–44 v16.x Critical fixes only

If you’re on an older line, please upgrade to a supported version.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue. Use one of these private channels:

  1. GitHub → Security → “Report a vulnerability” (preferred). This creates a private advisory thread with maintainers.
  2. Email: [email protected]

Include, if possible:

  • A clear description and impact
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Affected GNOME Shell version(s) and OS
  • Relevant logs (e.g. journalctl --user -b 0 -o cat | grep -i numeric-clock)
  • Whether the issue also affects the legacy 42–44 build

Response & disclosure timeline

  • Acknowledgement: within 48 hours
  • Triage & initial assessment: within 7 days
  • Fix, mitigation, or plan: within 30 days for supported lines

We coordinate a disclosure date with you. Once a fix is released, we’ll publish a GitHub Security Advisory and, if appropriate, request a CVE through GitHub.

Reporters will be credited in release notes unless you request otherwise.

Scope

This policy covers the Numeric Clock extension code and release packages in this repository and on GNOME Extensions. It does not cover vulnerabilities in GNOME Shell itself, other extensions, or your distribution packages.

Safe-harbor

We will not pursue legal action against good-faith research and reporting that:

  • Avoids privacy violations and data destruction,
  • Does not degrade other users’ experience, and
  • Respects coordinated disclosure.

If in doubt, contact us first.
