Security Policy

Keyfold handles credentials. If you find a vulnerability, please help us fix it before it's public.

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Please use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting instead:

  1. Go to the Security tab of this repository.
  2. Click "Report a vulnerability".
  3. Describe the issue, how to reproduce it, and its potential impact.

This opens a private advisory visible only to maintainers until a fix is ready, so the issue can't be exploited before it's patched.

We aim to acknowledge reports within 5 business days and to ship a fix (or at least a mitigation plan) before any public disclosure.

What's in scope

Keyfold's threat model is documented in PROJECT_PLAN.md (§ Security and encryption model). Particularly high-value reports:

  • Anything that lets ciphertext be decrypted without the Master Key
  • Anything that lets a removed vault member keep decrypt access after rotation
  • Anything that lets a Drive editor substitute a public key without detection (the member-list signature / fingerprint check being bypassable)
  • Content-script or extension-page XSS, CSP bypasses, or eval-equivalent code execution
  • Autofill triggering on the wrong origin, or filling into a cross-origin iframe without a click

What's out of scope

  • Reports that assume physical access to an already-unlocked, unlocked device
  • Issues in third-party dependencies without a demonstrated path to impact in Keyfold itself (report those upstream too)
  • The known, documented limitation that a forgotten master password means permanent data loss by design (see PROJECT_PLAN.md § Recovery)

Supported versions

Keyfold is pre-1.0 and under active development. Until a 1.0 release, only the latest commit on main is supported — please confirm an issue still reproduces there before reporting.

There aren't any published security advisories
