The Redgear A20 Control Center project takes hardware safety, memory safety, and user security seriously. Because this software communicates directly with peripheral microcontroller hardware via raw USB HID Feature Reports, we maintain strict safety guardrails.
Security and stability updates are provided for the following versions:
| Version | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
0.1.x |
✅ Yes | Current active release |
< 0.1.0 |
❌ No | Exploratory reverse-engineering builds |
We welcome reports regarding:
- Hardware Communication Safety: USB Feature Reports or parameters that could induce microcontroller buffer overflows, MCU deadlocks, or GPIO scan loop starvation.
- Win32 P/Invoke Memory Safety: Unhandled pointer dereferences, buffer overflows, or handle leaks in
hid.dllorsetupapi.dllcalls. - Privilege & Execution Safety: Any vector allowing unauthorized privilege escalation, persistence, or malicious payload execution.
(Note: Third-party physical hardware damage resulting from modifying source code to bypass safety delays or send arbitrary unknown opcodes to the device is outside project liability; please see our DISCLAIMER.)
