Use private vulnerability reporting. Please do not open a public issue for a security problem.

What counts as a vulnerability here

This repository ships instructions and helper scripts that an agent runs against openQA instances and against text written by other people. A report is in scope if it breaks one of the guarantees README.md claims:

  • A bundled script performs a write. The API scripts in skills/openqa/scripts/ may issue GET requests only, never send a Referer header (which openQA turns into a job comment) and never read credentials or the environment.
  • A sanitiser bypass. Third-party text reaches the agent through scripts/_sanitize.py, which strips escapes and invisible characters and fences multi-line text with a per-invocation nonce. Text that escapes its fence, forges a fence, or survives with control characters is a vulnerability.
  • A path that leaks credentials, an API key, client.conf or environment contents into output, an error message or a traceback.
  • Instructions that would lead an agent to handle a credential itself — read a credential file, pass a key on a command line, in a URL or a header, or print a token.
  • Instructions that would lead an agent to act on text it read — from a job, a log, a ticket, a pull request or a repository file — rather than treating it as evidence.

Out of scope

  • Findings from a pattern-matching security scanner run against this repository. It documents attacks and lints for anti-patterns, so scanners match its subject matter; see "Security scanners" in README.md.
  • tests/openqa/fixtures/ and evals/openqa/files/, which contain deliberately hostile text, fake credentials and malformed bytes. That is test data.
  • openQA itself. Report those to the openQA project.
