Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Use GitHub's private reporting instead:

  1. Go to the Security tab of this repository.
  2. Click Report a vulnerability to open a private advisory draft.
  3. Include: what you found, the affected file(s)/version, a minimal reproduction, and the impact as you see it (what an attacker gains, what data is exposed).

If you'd rather email: sunil.gentyala@ieee.org.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement within a few days.
  • If confirmed, a fix is developed against a private branch/advisory, then released together with a published GHSA advisory crediting the reporter (unless you ask to stay anonymous).
  • If it's not a vulnerability (e.g. a hardening suggestion or a false positive in DockerDNA's own findings), it'll be redirected to a regular issue instead.

Scope

In scope: DockerDNA's own code (dockerdna/) — logic bugs that cause it to mishandle secrets it detects, misreport findings in a security-relevant way, or otherwise behave unsafely when run as documented.

Out of scope: vulnerabilities in Dockerfiles/compose files DockerDNA is scanning (that's the tool's whole job — please open those as regular findings against your own project, not as a DockerDNA vulnerability), and vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies (report those upstream; we'll pick up the fix on the next pip install --upgrade).
