Disclosure Policy

  • We follow the Responsible Disclosure principle
  • Please do not disclose vulnerability details publicly before a fix is released

  • For valid security reports, we will credit the reporter in the README contributors section (unless anonymity is requested)

Security Best Practices

When using OpenYida, please keep the following in mind:

  • Credentials: Cookie cache is stored locally at project/.cache/cookies.json — do not commit this file to version control
  • .gitignore: The project ignores .cache/ by default — do not remove this rule manually
  • Dependency security: Run npm audit regularly to check for dependency vulnerabilities
  • Environment isolation: Use separate Yida accounts for production and development environments

Scope

The following types of issues are in scope for this policy:

  • Authentication and authorization bypass
  • Cookie / credential leakage
  • Code injection or remote code execution
  • Known vulnerabilities in the dependency chain
  • Accidental exposure of sensitive information

The following are out of scope:

  • Social engineering attacks
  • Physical attacks
  • Non-security bugs already discussed in public Issues
