Security Policy

Supported versions

While UniSwitch is pre-1.0, only the latest release and the main branch receive security fixes. Once there's a 1.0, this section will list which major versions are supported.

Version Supported
main (latest) yes
older releases no

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for a security vulnerability. Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting: go to the repository's Security tab → Report a vulnerability. This opens a private advisory visible only to maintainers until it's resolved.

Include, as far as you can:

  • A description of the vulnerability and its potential impact
  • Steps to reproduce, or a proof of concept
  • The affected version or commit

You should get an acknowledgment within a few days. This is a community-driven project without a dedicated security team, so response and fix timelines depend on maintainer availability rather than a fixed SLA, but security reports are prioritized over regular bug fixes.

Scope

In scope:

  • The conversion pipeline (packages/core, packages/languages/*) — particularly anything that could turn malicious input source code into unexpected behavior on the machine running the conversion.
  • The web app and API (apps/web) — particularly anything affecting the hosted instance or a self-hosted deployment.
  • The webhook listener (apps/webhook) — particularly signature verification and anything that could let an unauthorized request trigger a deploy.

Out of scope:

  • Vulnerabilities that require an already-compromised server or physical access.
  • Missing security headers or best-practice suggestions with no demonstrated exploit, these are welcome as a regular issue rather than a security report.
  • Social engineering.

A note on what UniSwitch does with source code

UniSwitch parses source code, it does not execute it. Converting a file does not run the code in that file, in the CLI, the web app, or the hosted instance. If you find a code path where conversion does result in execution of submitted input, that's a vulnerability and should be reported through the process above, not filed as a feature gap.

Disclosure

Once a fix is available, an advisory is published crediting the reporter (unless anonymity is requested) with a description of the issue and affected versions. Coordinated disclosure is preferred, please allow time for a fix before discussing a vulnerability publicly.
