Reporting a vulnerability

If you find a security issue in this module, please do not file a public GitHub issue. Instead, email the maintainer directly:

📧 info@angeo.dev

Include:

  • A description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce
  • The Magento version, PHP version, and module version affected
  • Any proof-of-concept code (if applicable)

We aim to acknowledge reports within 48 hours and to provide a fix or mitigation plan within 7 days for confirmed issues.

Supported versions

Version Supported
1.1.x ✅ Yes
1.0.x ⚠️ Critical fixes only until 2026-10-01
< 1.0 ❌ No

Threat model

This module:

  • Reads from ScopeConfig (admin-controlled values).
  • Writes the response body of Magento\Robots\Model\Robots::getData() via a plugin.
  • Performs HTTP GET requests against /robots.txt on the store's own base URL (admin Validate action and CLI angeo:robots:validate only).
  • Does not write to the database.
  • Does not write to the filesystem.
  • Does not accept input from frontend visitors.
  • Does not fetch from any external URL — the runtime remote bot registry was removed in 2.0.

Trust assumptions

  • Admin users are trusted to configure paths in bot_overrides correctly. If you do not trust your admin users, do not grant them Angeo_RobotsTxtAeo::config ACL.
  • TLS verification is on by default for all outbound HTTP calls. The --insecure CLI flag exists solely for local dev with self-signed certs and must not be used in production.

What we look for in reports

High signal:

  • Remote code execution
  • Stored XSS in admin panel
  • Path traversal in bot override fields
  • Cache poisoning of the served robots.txt
  • ACL bypass

Out of scope:

  • Self-XSS where the admin pastes JavaScript into a config field
  • DoS via extreme config values (e.g., one million Disallow lines) — that's a legitimate admin choice; we won't add input size limits unless they would prevent realistic admin error.
