Security Policy

Privateer's privacy guarantee rests on the code in this repository, so we take reports about it seriously.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.

Email security@privateer.pro with:

  • a description of the issue and its impact,
  • steps to reproduce or a proof of concept,
  • the file(s) / commit involved.

We aim to acknowledge reports within 72 hours and will keep you updated on remediation. Coordinated disclosure is appreciated; we're happy to credit you once a fix ships.

In scope

This repo is the trust boundary of an end-to-end-encrypted app. The highest-value reports concern:

  • Cryptography — key derivation (Argon2id / HKDF), master-key wrap/unwrap, the content wire format, IV/nonce handling, anything that could weaken AES-256-GCM usage.
  • Key handling — any path where a master key, KEK, password, or wrapped blob could leak to the server, logs, or an attacker.
  • Ciphertext-only invariant — any server path that could persist or transmit user plaintext content.
  • Inference routing — any path that could send prompts to a non–Zero-Data-Retention provider when ZDR is required.
  • Web key-exfil surface — XSS/CSP/sandbox issues in the browser build that could reach the in-memory master key (see the web threat model in docs/E2EE_ARCHITECTURE.md).

Out of scope

This is an excerpt, not a runnable application. Reports that depend on the omitted closed components (billing, entitlement, infra) or on this excerpt "not compiling" are out of scope — those modules never touch plaintext. Findings about deliberately stubbed TRANSPARENCY REPO OMISSION blocks are also out of scope.

A note on recovery

By design there is no password/wallet recovery path. Forgetting credentials means permanent data loss. This is an intended property, not a vulnerability.
