Security Policy

Scope

The following are in scope for vulnerability reports:

  • Authentication and session handling (Cognito SRP, token storage, device remembering)
  • Credential exposure: API tokens, IMAP passwords, session files
  • Card data exposure: PAN, CVC, expiry leaking outside of the reveal code path
  • Permission issues: session or state files created with overly permissive modes
  • Dependency vulnerabilities with a realistic exploit path against this package

Out of scope: Extend's own API security, issues requiring physical access to the machine, and theoretical issues with no practical impact.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Report privately via GitHub Security Advisories. This keeps details confidential until a fix is available.

Include:

  • A description of the vulnerability and its impact
  • Steps to reproduce or a proof-of-concept
  • The version(s) affected

You will receive an acknowledgment within 72 hours. Fixes for confirmed vulnerabilities are typically released within 14 days.

What This Package Protects

Credentials: Extend email/password and IMAP credentials are accepted via env vars or interactive prompt. They are never written to disk.

Session tokens: Cognito tokens and device credentials are persisted to the state directory with 0600 file permissions (owner read/write only).

Card data: The JSONL audit ledger never stores PAN or CVC. The reveal command writes full credentials to disk only when --json-path is explicitly passed, and the file is created with 0600 permissions.

Kill switch: The HTTP client monitors for account-risk signals (403 responses, WAF blocks, verification prompts) and disables itself to reduce the risk of account suspension from runaway automation.

Responsible Disclosure

Please give us a reasonable window to fix and release a patch before disclosing publicly. We will credit reporters in the changelog unless anonymity is requested.
