Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not put vulnerability details in a public issue.

  1. If the Security tab of this repository offers "Report a vulnerability" (GitHub's private vulnerability reporting), use it.
  2. If that option is not available, open a public issue containing only the words "security contact requested" and nothing else. A maintainer will contact you privately with a channel for the details.

What we consider in scope

qlever-dir builds a SPARQL endpoint from untrusted files dropped into a mounted directory, and its index-build path shells out (rapper, sed) to do it. In scope:

  • Anything that lets a crafted filename or file content escape the intended shell/SPARQL context during indexing (see the open injection-shaped issues: #5, #6, #8 — those are filed, triaged, and not what this policy is for; a new way to turn one into code execution or data exfiltration rather than a build error is).
  • Anything that lets the watcher or build process read or write outside the mounted data directory.

Known limitations — please don't report these as vulnerabilities

These are documented, already-filed design gaps, not undiscovered bugs: #4 (watcher failure is silent), #7 (no supervision or readiness signal), #10 (watcher misses files in directories created after startup). A report telling us these exist tells us nothing new; a report showing one of them is worse than described is in scope.

There aren't any published security advisories
