Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in pyrattler-recipe-autogen, please report it privately using one of the following methods:

Preferred: GitHub Security Advisories

Use GitHub Security Advisories to report vulnerabilities privately. This allows us to:

  • Discuss the vulnerability privately
  • Work on a fix before public disclosure
  • Coordinate disclosure timing
  • Issue security advisories when appropriate

Alternative: Email

Send an email to: [email protected]

  • Use "SECURITY: pyrattler-recipe-autogen vulnerability" in the subject line
  • Include as much detail as possible (see details below)

What to Include

Please try to be as explicit as possible, describing:

  1. Vulnerability Type: What kind of security issue is this?
  2. Impact: What could an attacker potentially do?
  3. Attack Vector: How would someone exploit this?
  4. Affected Components: Which parts of pyrattler-recipe-autogen are affected?
  5. Reproduction Steps: Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  6. Environment: OS, Python version, pyrattler-recipe-autogen version
  7. Proof of Concept: Sample code or commands (without working exploits)
  8. Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for how to address the issue

Security Considerations

Input Validation

pyrattler-recipe-autogen processes pyproject.toml files and generates recipe.yaml files. Key security considerations:

  • TOML Parsing: We use Python's built-in tomllib for parsing TOML files
  • File System Access: The tool reads from and writes to the file system based on user input
  • Subprocess Execution: Limited subprocess usage for version detection (git, poetry, etc.)
  • Path Handling: User-provided file paths are processed

Potential Risk Areas

Areas where security vulnerabilities might occur:

  1. Path Traversal: File path handling and validation
  2. Code Injection: TOML content processing and YAML generation
  3. Command Injection: Subprocess execution for tool detection
  4. Denial of Service: Resource consumption during file processing
  5. Information Disclosure: Error messages and debug output

Security Response Process

When a security vulnerability is reported:

  1. Acknowledgment: We'll acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
  2. Assessment: We'll assess the vulnerability and determine severity
  3. Fix Development: We'll work on a fix while maintaining confidentiality
  4. Testing: We'll test the fix thoroughly
  5. Disclosure: We'll coordinate disclosure timing with the reporter
  6. Release: We'll release a security update and publish an advisory

Timeline Expectations

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Assessment Complete: Within 1 week
  • Fix Available: Depends on complexity, typically 1-4 weeks
  • Public Disclosure: After fix is released and users have time to update

Public Discussions

Please do not publicly discuss potential security vulnerabilities until:

  • A fix has been developed and released
  • Sufficient time has passed for users to update
  • We've coordinated the disclosure timing

This helps limit the potential impact and protects users who haven't yet updated.

Security Best Practices for Users

When using pyrattler-recipe-autogen:

  1. Keep Updated: Use the latest version when possible
  2. Validate Inputs: Be cautious with pyproject.toml files from untrusted sources
  3. Review Outputs: Check generated recipe.yaml files before use
  4. Sandbox Usage: Consider running in isolated environments for untrusted inputs
  5. Report Issues: Report any suspicious behavior or potential security issues

Recognition

We appreciate security researchers and users who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities. Contributors who report valid security issues will be:

  • Credited in the security advisory (unless they prefer to remain anonymous)
  • Mentioned in release notes
  • Added to our security acknowledgments

Questions?

If you have questions about this security policy or need clarification on reporting procedures, please open a GitHub Discussion or email [email protected].
