Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

If you discover a security vulnerability in Aegleseeker, please do not open a public issue. Instead, please report it responsibly to the maintainers.

Responsible Disclosure

  1. Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability until it has been addressed
  2. Do not access systems or data you are not authorized to access
  3. Do provide detailed information about the vulnerability
  4. Do allow reasonable time for a fix before public disclosure (typically 90 days)

Reporting Process

  1. Email security details to the project maintainers
  2. Include:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if available)
  3. Allow time for acknowledgment and response
  4. Work with maintainers to verify and deploy fixes

Security Considerations

DLL Injection Risks

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

Recommended Usage

  • 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

Vulnerability Classes

We take the following vulnerability classes seriously:

  1. Arbitrary Code Execution: Any means to execute unintended code
  2. Memory Corruption: Buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc.
  3. Privilege Escalation: Unauthorized elevation of privileges
  4. Information Disclosure: Unauthorized access to sensitive data
  5. Denial of Service: Causing application crashes or freezes
  6. Hook Bypasses: Ways to circumvent security mechanisms

Known Limitations

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

Security Best Practices

For Users

  • 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

For Developers

  • 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

Dependencies Security

ImGui

  • Status: Third-party library
  • Updates: Check for security updates regularly
  • Version: Current version pinned in build system
  • Vulnerabilities: Monitor ImGui repository for issues

MinHook

  • Status: Third-party library
