Security: herdloom/app

SECURITY.md

Security

Thank you for looking. Herdloom runs on a developer's machine, works on their source code, and drives agents that can change files, so security reports are taken seriously.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report privately, not in a public issue.

Include what you found, how to reproduce it, what an attacker could do with it, and the app version. A proof of concept helps; a working exploit is not needed.

What to expect

First reply within 3 working days
Assessment within 10 working days
Fix for a confirmed issue in the next beta build, or sooner if serious

You will be credited in the release notes when a report leads to a fix, unless you would rather not be.

In scope

  • The Herdloom application and the local service it runs
  • The way Herdloom stores credentials, tokens and agent output on disk
  • The way Herdloom isolates work in git worktrees and branches
  • Anything that lets one project's work reach another's, or reach the main checkout unasked

Out of scope

  • The coding agent CLIs themselves, and the models behind them: report those to their authors
  • Issues that need an attacker to already have full access to the machine and the user's account
  • Missing hardening that has no demonstrated impact
  • Anything in a repository you do not own or have permission to test against

Please do not

  • Test against machines or repositories that are not yours
  • Run denial of service, spam, or social engineering against anyone
  • Access, change or keep other people's data

Handling your report

Reports are read by the author. They are not shared with anyone else, and the details stay private until a fix is out.
