SECURITY.md

Security policy

deb-native is pre-alpha and not independently audited. Treat it as unsafe for anything you would not run in a throwaway Termux install.

Reporting

Please do not open a public issue for a security problem. Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting (Security → Report a vulnerability), or contact the maintainer (https://github.com/jronminh). Include what you ran, the prefix's boot/version, and the impact. Response is best-effort; there is no SLA.

Scope

The runtime has no isolation by design: a prefix's programs are ordinary processes of the app that runs them, and any of them can reach the app's files (the threat model is accidental leaks, docs/architecture.md). So the interesting issues are narrower:

  • In scope: the tracer or the shim doing something a program did not ask for — a path mapped to the wrong file, a write landing outside the prefix when the program named a path inside it, build-prefix.sh touching anything outside the directory it was given.
  • Out of scope: the lack of isolation itself, anything that needs root, and anything that requires an already-compromised Termux.
