Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure Policy
At DevDiff, the security and privacy of our users and their codebases are our top priority. We appreciate the contributions of security researchers, ethical hackers, and the open-source community in helping us maintain the highest standards of software security.
If you discover a security vulnerability in DevDiff CLI, VS Code extension (@eldrex/vscode), MCP server (@eldrex/mcp), core engine (@eldrex/core), or documentation site, we encourage you to report it to us promptly.
Reporting Guidelines
To ensure responsible handling of potential security issues, please follow these guidelines:
- Private Reporting First: Do not disclose vulnerabilities publicly (e.g. in GitHub Issues, Discord, or X/Twitter) until we have investigated and resolved the issue.
- Detailed Steps to Reproduce: Provide clear proof-of-concept (PoC) code, step-by-step instructions, command lines, or environment configurations required to reproduce the flaw.
- Avoid Destructive Testing: Do not perform actions that could disrupt live user environments or compromise user data.
