Thank you for helping keep Mincemeat and its users safe.
This repository contains the source for the public Mincemeat user documentation site at https://docs.mincemeat.id. Please follow the guidance below when reporting concerns or contributing changes.
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in Mincemeat, Mincemeat infrastructure, or this documentation site, please report it privately. Do not open a public GitHub issue, pull request, or discussion that includes vulnerability details.
Preferred reporting channels, in order:
- Email security@mincemeat.id with a clear description of the issue, impact, and reproduction steps.
- If email is not possible, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting on this repository (Security tab → "Report a vulnerability").
Please include:
- A description of the issue and its potential impact.
- Steps to reproduce, proof-of-concept code, or screenshots.
- Your name or handle for acknowledgement, if desired.
We aim to acknowledge new reports within 3 business days and to provide an initial assessment within 10 business days. Please give us reasonable time to investigate and remediate before any public disclosure.
If a published page, screenshot, code sample, or configuration in this repository exposes information that should not be public - such as credentials, customer data, private hostnames, internal IP addresses, private provider IDs, or stack traces with secrets - report it through the same security channels above so we can remove it quickly.
Before opening a pull request or merging documentation changes, contributors and reviewers must confirm that the change does not include any of the following:
- Production or staging credentials, API tokens, JWTs, session cookies, or access keys.
- Real customer account identifiers, email addresses, project names, or deployment IDs.
- Real customer domain names or DNS records (use the documented example domains instead).
- Private hostnames, internal IP addresses, or non-public service URLs.
- Provider account IDs, organization IDs, zone IDs, or other operator-only identifiers.
- Stack traces, logs, or error messages that contain any of the items above.
- Screenshots that show any of the items above, real user data, or UI captured from a non-seeded environment.
- Internal-only runbook content, incident details, or operations tooling instructions.
- Private repository names, internal Git remotes, or links into private GitHub repositories.
- Localhost or LAN URLs outside the approved DNS and command examples.
When in doubt, redact and ask a maintainer before merging. The CI secret scan is a backstop, not a substitute for review.
This policy covers:
- The contents of this repository.
- The published documentation site at https://docs.mincemeat.id.
For vulnerabilities in the Mincemeat product itself, please use the same private reporting channels.
