Reporting

Report vulnerabilities privately through GitHub Security Advisories on this repository, or by opening an issue asking for a private contact if that is not available. Please do not disclose details publicly until a fix is released.

Handling of credentials and run artifacts

  • SSH and sudo passwords are passed to the remote over stdin or the SSHPASS environment variable, never as command-line arguments.
  • Remote scripts run under sudo. Package names taken from a plan are shell-quoted before use.
  • Run artifacts (patch_plan.json, patch_results.json, *.xlsx) describe your fleet and its missing patches. They are gitignored. Do not commit them or share them outside the team.
  • Values written into the Excel report are neutralised against spreadsheet formula injection.
