Security

How to report a vulnerability — and our commitment to handling it responsibly.

KerPlace exists to protect other people’s data at rest, so security reports are taken seriously and handled honestly.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report privately first — do not open a public issue for a vulnerability, as that discloses the flaw to everyone before a fix exists.

Encrypt sensitive details if you can. If no PGP key is published yet, email first and a secure channel will be arranged before you send any working exploit.

What makes a good report

So the issue can be reproduced quickly:

  • the affected version,
  • clear steps to reproduce,
  • the impact, and
  • any proof-of-concept.

Our commitment

  • Reports are acknowledged promptly and you are kept informed.
  • Disclosure is coordinated: a fix first, then public credit if you would like it.
  • Researchers acting in good faith are engaged in good faith.
