Security Policy

Scope

FeedYourSpider is a thin wrapper around third-party network and recon tools (nmap, netcat, tcpdump, tshark, hping3, arp-scan, masscan, nikto, dnsenum, whatweb). This policy covers vulnerabilities in the wrapper itself — for example:

  • Command injection through unsanitized prompts.
  • Path traversal in output-file handling.
  • Privilege escalation paths introduced by the launcher (e.g. sudo invocations on untrusted input).
  • Tampered automatic-installation flows.

Vulnerabilities in the wrapped tools themselves are out of scope — please report those directly to their upstream maintainers.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security reports.

Use one of these private channels:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories: https://github.com/WhiteMuush/FeedYourSpider/security/advisories/new
  2. The maintainer's contact email listed on their GitHub profile.

Include:

  • A description of the vulnerability and its impact.
  • Steps to reproduce (menu choices, prompt inputs, environment).
  • The commit SHA or release tag where you observed it.
  • Whether you intend to publish your own write-up, and a target date.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement within 7 days.
  • A coordinated fix in a dedicated branch.
  • Credit in the fix's release notes if you wish.

Only the latest release on main is supported. There is no LTS line.

Responsible use reminder
