Security Advisories

Users are encouraged to keep their local copies updated to receive the latest security improvements.

Best Practices for Reporting

To help us investigate vulnerabilities efficiently:

  • Provide detailed and accurate information.
  • Include reproducible steps whenever possible.
  • Share supporting evidence such as logs or screenshots.
  • Clearly describe the potential impact of the issue.
  • Avoid publicly disclosing the vulnerability before it has been addressed.

Providing complete information helps reduce investigation time and improves the response process.

Responsible Disclosure

We follow a responsible disclosure process and kindly request that security researchers:

  • Report vulnerabilities privately through the channels described above.
  • Allow reasonable time for investigation and remediation before public disclosure.
  • Refrain from actions that could compromise user data, privacy, or service availability.
  • Cooperate with maintainers during the validation and remediation process when additional information is required.

We deeply appreciate security researchers and contributors who help keep Career Pilot safe and secure. 🙏
