Thanks for helping keep Omnilium and its users safe. This policy is the org-wide default for every repository in the omnilium organization — go-sqlcipher and anything else that doesn't ship its own SECURITY.md.
Please report security issues privately — do not open a public issue, discussion, or pull request for a suspected vulnerability. Public reports expose users before a fix is available.
Use either channel:
- Email security@omnilium.com. This is the reliable channel and works for every repo.
- GitHub private vulnerability reporting — on a repo that has it enabled, open the Security tab and choose Report a vulnerability. This opens a private advisory only the maintainers can see.
If in doubt, email us — we'd much rather hear about something that turns out to be harmless than miss something that isn't.
A useful report usually includes:
- The repository or package affected, and the version or commit you tested against.
- A description of the issue and its impact — what an attacker could do.
- Steps to reproduce, ideally a minimal proof of concept.
- Any relevant environment details (OS, runtime, configuration).
You don't need all of this to reach out; send what you have and we'll follow up.
We support only the most recently published release of each package or repository — please reproduce against the latest version before reporting. We don't back-port security fixes to older releases; the fix ships in the next release instead. A repository that offers a longer support window will say so in its own SECURITY.md.
- Acknowledgement within 3 business days of your report.
- An initial assessment — whether we can reproduce it and how we rate the severity — within 10 business days.
- Updates as we work toward a fix, and credit for your report once a fix is released, unless you'd prefer to stay anonymous.
We practice coordinated disclosure: we'll work with you on a fix and a release, and we ask that you give us reasonable time to ship it before any public write-up. We'll always tell you when a fix is out.
We won't pursue or support legal action against anyone who reports a vulnerability in good faith — testing only against your own data and accounts, avoiding privacy violations and service disruption, and giving us a reasonable chance to respond before going public. If you're unsure whether something is in scope or in bounds, ask first at security@omnilium.com.
