If you discover a security vulnerability in Aegleseeker, please do not open a public issue. Instead, please report it responsibly to the maintainers.
- Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability until it has been addressed
- Do not access systems or data you are not authorized to access
- Do provide detailed information about the vulnerability
- Do allow reasonable time for a fix before public disclosure (typically 90 days)
- Email security details to the project maintainers
- Include:
- Description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce
- Potential impact
- Suggested fix (if available)
- Allow time for acknowledgment and response
- Work with maintainers to verify and deploy fixes
This project is designed for DLL injection into processes. Users should understand the security implications:
- Process Access: The DLL runs with the privileges of the target process
- Memory Access: Full access to process memory is granted
- System Calls: Can invoke Windows APIs available to the injected process
- Antivirus: Some antivirus software may flag injection attempts as malicious
- Development Only: Use in controlled development environments
- Authorized Applications: Only inject into applications you own or have permission to modify
- Isolation: Test in virtual machines or isolated systems
- Monitoring: Monitor system behavior after injection
- Cleanup: Ensure proper cleanup and process termination
We take the following vulnerability classes seriously:
- Arbitrary Code Execution: Any means to execute unintended code
- Memory Corruption: Buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc.
- Privilege Escalation: Unauthorized elevation of privileges
- Information Disclosure: Unauthorized access to sensitive data
- Denial of Service: Causing application crashes or freezes
- Hook Bypasses: Ways to circumvent security mechanisms
The following are not considered security vulnerabilities:
- Modifying game behavior: The project is designed to modify applications; this is intended
- Detection by anticheat: Systems designed to detect modifications will detect this
- Terms of Service violations: Using this to violate ToS of applications
- Process stability: Instability in target applications due to modifications
- Performance impact: Slowdowns caused by hooking and rendering
- Source Verification: Only compile from trusted source code
- Signature Verification: Verify DLL signatures if available
- Process Isolation: Use virtual machines for untrusted applications
- Firewall Rules: Monitor network access
- System Backups: Maintain backups before injection
- Administrator Privileges: Minimize unnecessary admin access
- Input Validation: Always validate input data
- Buffer Boundaries: Check buffer sizes before operations
- Memory Management: Properly allocate and free memory
- Error Handling: Handle errors gracefully
- Code Review: Request peer review for sensitive code
- Dependency Updates: Keep ImGui and MinHook updated
- Status: Third-party library
- Updates: Check for security updates regularly
- Version: Current version pinned in build system
- Vulnerabilities: Monitor ImGui repository for issues
- Status: Third-party library
- Updates: Check for security updates regularly
- Version: Current version used as-is
- Vulnerabilities: Monitor MinHook repository for issues
- Status: Official Microsoft library
- Updates: Apply Windows updates for security patches
- Vulnerabilities: Microsoft provides security bulletins
- Shader Compilation: Compiled shaders are validated by D3D11
- GPU Access: Direct GPU access through Direct3D APIs
