Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not report security problems in public issues or pull requests.

Report via GitHub Security Advisories: https://github.com/mcavage/marsh/security/advisories/new

Send a short description first; we will agree there on how to share anything sensitive. Do not send credentials, tokens, or the contents of a guest home.

This is a small project maintained by Mark Cavage. There is no bounty and no guaranteed response time, but reports are read and answered.

What to include

  • marsh version (marsh --version), sbx version, macOS version.
  • Where the problem is: Mac host, shell VM, or Kit container, and which boundary you expected to hold (see the security model).
  • The starting access you assumed, what you expected, what happened, and the smallest reproduction with made-up data.
  • Whether jobs were still running and whether cleanup was reported uncertain.

Prefer receipt fields (marsh results show JOB --json) and hashes to full transcripts. Command arguments and paths can contain private information; redact them. Keep original evidence in a private directory outside the project and guest home, and do not reset or stop the scope just to tidy up a report.

Scope

In scope: escaping a Kit container or VM to the Mac, reaching another Kit's credentials or VM, a job gaining Docker, containerd, or sbx control, a split argv branch writing outside its fork, marsh touching a VM it did not create, and anything that undoes the security model.

Known and accepted, not vulnerabilities by themselves: sbx is trusted; the path-based sbx mount reopen; shared trust between projects in one MARSH_HOME; the authority you grant by publishing MCP or ACP tools or by using marsh --dev; agents' own sandboxes being turned off inside containers. Docker Sandboxes itself is Docker's product; report its bugs to Docker.

Test only systems and data you are allowed to use. Agent calls can cost money.
