Reporting a Vulnerability

If you find a security vulnerability, do not report it in a public issue. Use one of the private channels below.

Option 1: GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting (preferred)

  1. Open this repository's Security tab
  2. Click "Report a vulnerability"
  3. Include steps to reproduce, the blast radius, and a suggested fix if you have one

This keeps everything private until a fix is live.

Option 2: Without a GitHub account

Reach the maintainer through the website: https://flote-app.vercel.app

What to expect

  • First acknowledgement: within 5 business days
  • Initial assessment: within 14 days (severity plus a fix plan)
  • Fix and advisory: within 90 days for high severity, per responsible disclosure
  • Credit: named in the advisory and release notes, if you want to be

Out of scope

  • macOS Gatekeeper and notarization warnings -- known, and documented in the website FAQ
  • Vulnerabilities in Ollama itself when used for AI Organize -- report those to the Ollama project
  • The website (served by Vercel) is not the primary source, but serious reports are still welcome

Security features in place

  • GitHub secret scanning: enabled, on push and across history
  • GitHub Push Protection: enabled, blocks pushes containing secrets
  • Dependabot security updates: enabled
  • .env*, *.key, *.pem, DevSecrets.swift: structurally excluded via .gitignore
  • Source-available licence: you can audit what the app does with your notes

Why source-available?

  • Insurance against a solo developer disappearing: the fork keeps working
  • You can verify in code that your notes are not being read or shipped anywhere
  • You keep the right to patch and fix it yourself

See the Why Open section of README.md for the longer version.
