Security policy

Supported versions

nemo is early-stage software. Only the latest release gets security fixes.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security problems.

Report privately through GitHub: go to the Security tab and choose "Report a vulnerability".

Include what you can of:

  • the nemo version (nemo version) and your OS
  • the filesystem type and a minimal image or steps that trigger the problem
  • what you expected and what happened

You should get a reply within 7 days. Fixes are developed privately and published with a GitHub security advisory once a release is out.

Scope

In scope:

  • memory safety or crash bugs when parsing untrusted disk images
  • writes outside the intended image, file, or region
  • bypasses of the chain-of-custody write logging
  • problems in the release pipeline or published artifacts

Out of scope:

  • the hiding techniques themselves being detectable by forensic tools. That is a known limitation of slack-space and named-stream methods, not a vulnerability.
  • misuse of nemo against systems you do not own

Verifying releases

Each release ships checksums.txt (SHA-256) and a CycloneDX SBOM (sbom.cdx.json). Check your download with:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

There aren't any published security advisories
