Oxytools follows a single active development branch. Only the latest published release receives security fixes — there is no backport policy for older versions.
Please report vulnerabilities by opening a Pull Request:
→ https://github.com/Promethyxx/Oxytools/pulls
Describe the issue and, if possible, include a fix directly in the PR.
A PR can be merged as soon as it's reviewed and approved — there is no coordinated disclosure delay; the fix becomes public as soon as it's merged.
- Oxytools version affected (version number, or commit if built from source)
- Platform (Windows / Linux x64 / Linux ARM / macOS) and variant (bundled / office)
- Reproduction steps, or a minimal file/input that triggers the issue
- Estimated impact (what the vulnerability actually allows)
Oxytools is maintained by a single person, on their own time — there is no formal SLA. An acknowledgement within a few days is a reasonable goal, not a guarantee. Fix turnaround depends on severity and complexity.
In scope: Oxytools' own source code (all modules), the repository's scripts and CI workflows, and how the application invokes the third-party binaries it bundles (ffmpeg, ffprobe, mkvpropedit).
Out of scope: vulnerabilities in ffmpeg, mkvtoolnix, or any other third-party dependency itself — those should be reported directly to their respective projects. That said, a report is still welcome here if a vulnerable version of a bundled binary is still being distributed by Oxytools after an upstream fix.
The project's Rust dependencies are audited automatically in CI via
cargo-deny (licenses, sources, RustSec security advisories) — see
deny.toml for the configuration and documented exceptions.
