Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in the Shai-Hulud 2.0 Detector tool itself, please report it responsibly.

How to Report

  1. Do NOT open a public issue for security vulnerabilities
  2. Email the maintainers with details of the vulnerability
  3. Include:
    • Description of the vulnerability
    • Steps to reproduce
    • Potential impact
    • Suggested fix (if any)

What to Expect

  • Initial response: Within 48 hours
  • Status update: Within 7 days
  • Fix timeline: Depends on severity
    • Critical: 24-48 hours
    • High: 7 days
    • Medium: 30 days
    • Low: Next release

Scope

In Scope

  • Vulnerabilities in the detector code
  • Issues that could lead to false negatives (missing detections)
  • Information disclosure vulnerabilities
  • Denial of service in the scanning process

Out of Scope

  • The Shai-Hulud 2.0 attack itself (report to npm/GitHub)
  • Packages listed in our database (that's the point!)
  • Social engineering attacks
  • Physical security

Safe Harbor

We consider security research conducted in good faith to be:

  • Authorized in accordance with this policy
  • Protected from legal action by us
  • Helpful to the community

We will not pursue civil or criminal action against researchers who:

  • Act in good faith
  • Avoid privacy violations
  • Do not destroy data
  • Report findings to us

Security Best Practices

When using this tool, we recommend:

  1. Regular Updates: Keep the action version updated
  2. Fail on Critical: Enable fail-on-critical: true
  3. Schedule Scans: Run daily scans via cron
  4. Monitor Outputs: Alert on any detections
  5. Multi-layer Defense: Use alongside other security tools
