Reporting a vulnerability

Email henrry.220267@gmail.com with SECURITY in the subject line, or open a private security advisory.

Please don't open a public issue for anything exploitable.

Include what you have: the affected file, what an attacker gets out of it, and a way to reproduce if you have one. A rough report beats a polished one that never gets sent.

I'll acknowledge within 72 hours and tell you whether I think it's a real issue and roughly when it'll be fixed.

Supported versions

The latest release on main. This is a small project — there are no backported security branches.

Scope

Findings that count:

  • A determinism break — the same answer and sources producing a different report across runs. Determinism is the property that lets this gate CI, so losing it is the serious defect.
  • Catastrophic mis-grounding: a fabricated number reported as supported, which defeats the tool's highest-value check.
  • Any code path that makes a network call or executes input. groundcheck is pure and offline by design.

Findings that don't:

  • Ordinary false positives or false negatives from the lexical heuristic. It is documented as a heuristic, not an oracle; tune --threshold or open a normal issue.
  • Requests to support semantic (embedding/NLI) matching — that is a feature direction, not a defect.
