Security Policy

omc is a security tool. We take the integrity of its supply-chain defenses seriously and welcome reports of vulnerabilities.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.

Report vulnerabilities privately through GitHub Security Advisories:

  1. Go to https://github.com/turenlabs/omc/security/advisories
  2. Click Report a vulnerability
  3. Provide as much detail as you can: affected version, reproduction steps, and the impact you observed.

Using private advisories keeps the report confidential while we investigate and prepare a fix. We aim to acknowledge new reports within a few business days.

Please do not include real secrets, credentials, or live exploit payloads in a report. Use canary/placeholder values (e.g. evil.invalid) to demonstrate behavior, mirroring how the test suite is written.

Supported Versions

Security fixes are applied to the latest released minor version. Older versions are not maintained; please upgrade to the most recent release before reporting, and confirm the issue still reproduces there.

Version Supported
latest release (current minor) yes
older releases no

Scope — What omc Defends, and What It Does Not

omc is a deny-by-default, install-time / inspect-time gate for npm and PyPI packages. Being precise about its threat model matters, because relying on it for guarantees it does not make is itself a risk.

What omc does:

  • Profiles packages to a set of capability findings before they are linked.
  • Verifies those findings against a policy and produces an allow/deny verdict.
  • Never executes package install/lifecycle scripts. Inspection is static.
  • Runs a sound interprocedural-taint engine for the exec-cell path, and a lightweight text-scan profiler at install/inspect time.

What omc does NOT do:

  • It is not a runtime sandbox. Once you choose to execute code that omc has linked, omc does not contain, intercept, or monitor that execution. Use OS-level sandboxing (containers, seccomp, VMs) for runtime isolation.
  • It does not guarantee detection of every malicious package. The install-time text scan is a heuristic layer; a determined adversary may evade it. Treat a clean verdict as "no known capability findings," not "proven safe."
  • It does not replace dependency review, registry-side scanning, or reproducible-build verification.

In-scope vulnerability reports include: a way to obtain a benign verdict for a package that exercises a denied capability (a soundness gap in the gate), a way to make omc execute package code during inspection, or a path-traversal / injection bug in omc itself. Out-of-scope: the fact that omc does not sandbox code you deliberately run after it has been linked.
