Reporting

Report privately through GitHub Security Advisories. Please do not open a public issue for something unfixed.

Include the version or commit, and a transcript or steps that reproduce it if you can. Expect a first reply within a week.

What is worth reporting

bough parses files written by another program and serves a page on loopback, so the interesting cases are:

  • A crafted transcript that causes a crash, a hang, or a read outside the history directory
  • Anything binding to an address other than 127.0.0.1
  • Any write under an agent's data directory. bough is strictly read only there
  • Any outbound request from the served page. Everything it needs is embedded

Reading history that the user already owns is the whole point of the tool, not a vulnerability.

There are no releases yet, so there is no supported version table. Fixes land on main.
