Security Policy

Supported Versions

hashprep is currently in beta (0.1.0bX). Only the latest beta release on the main branch receives security updates. Older pre-releases are not patched — please upgrade to the newest version to pick up fixes.

Version Supported
0.1.0b3
< 0.1.0b3

Once hashprep reaches a stable 0.1.0 release, this table will be updated to reflect supported minor versions.

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in hashprep (the Python package, the CLI, or the documentation website under web/), please do not open a public GitHub issue.

Instead, report it privately through one of the following channels:

Please include as much of the following as you can:

  • A clear description of the issue and its impact.
  • The affected version(s) and component (library, CLI, website).
  • Steps to reproduce, a proof of concept, or a minimal failing example.
  • Any known mitigations or workarounds.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement: within 72 hours of your report.
  • Initial assessment: within 7 days, including whether the report is accepted, needs more information, or is declined (with reasoning).
  • Fix and disclosure: for accepted reports, we will work on a fix, prepare a patched release, and coordinate a disclosure timeline with you. Reporters will be credited in the advisory unless they prefer to remain anonymous.

Scope

In scope:

  • The hashprep Python package and CLI.
  • The documentation site in web/.
  • Build, packaging, and release tooling in this repository.

Out of scope:

  • Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies — please report those upstream. If a dependency issue affects hashprep users, we still appreciate a heads-up so we can bump the pinned version.
  • Issues that require physical access to a user's machine or already-compromised environments.
  • Denial of service caused by passing intentionally malformed datasets far outside the documented usage (e.g., multi-TB crafted inputs on a laptop).
