Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security problems.

Use GitHub's private reporting instead: Security → Report a vulnerability on this repository (direct link). You can expect an acknowledgement within a few days.

Scope Notes

Things worth knowing before reporting:

  • These scripts intentionally run with the user's privileges (Stage 1 requires Windows Administrator) and provision a machine — "the script can modify your system" is by design, not a vulnerability.
  • WSL2 is a resource boundary, not a security boundary: Windows↔WSL interop is bidirectional by default, so compromise of either side implies compromise of the user context on both. See the "Security & trust" section of the README.
  • In scope: anything that lets a third party influence what the scripts download or execute — checksum bypasses, downgrade of pinned versions, URL/argument injection, credential or key exposure.
