Security policy

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. Even small tools can introduce real risk — this one reconfigures network adapters from an elevated process — so vulnerability reports are very welcome.

Supported versions

Only the latest tagged release on GitHub is supported. Older versions will not get fixes; please upgrade first.

How to report a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security-sensitive findings. Use one of these private channels instead:

  1. Preferred: GitHub's private security advisories. Go to the Security tab of this repo and click "Report a vulnerability". GitHub will route it to me privately.
  2. Email: engelgardt2024@gmail.com with the subject prefix [security].

Please include:

  • The version of netswitch you tested (output of the startup banner is enough).
  • Steps to reproduce.
  • An assessment of impact.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement within 3 business days.
  • A first technical reply within 7 business days.
  • A fix and a public advisory once the issue is resolved. Reporters are credited unless they prefer to stay anonymous.

Out of scope

  • Behavior when run without administrator privileges (the tool refuses to start in that case anyway).
  • Issues that require the attacker to already control the user's machine.
