## Reporting a Vulnerability
|
|
|
|
We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue in Ghost, please follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
### For Security Researchers
|
|
|
|
1. **DO NOT** create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
|
|
2. Include detailed information about the vulnerability:
|
|
- Steps to reproduce
|
|
- Potential impact
|
|
- Suggested fix (if any)
|
|
- Your contact information
|
|
|
|
### Response Timeline
|
|
|
|
- **Initial Response**: Within 48 hours
|
|
- **Assessment**: Within 7 days
|
|
- **Fix Timeline**: Varies based on severity
|
|
- Critical: Within 7 days
|
|
- High: Within 14 days
|
|
- Medium: Within 30 days
|
|
- Low: Next release cycle
|
|
|
|
### Disclosure Policy
|
|
|
|
We follow responsible disclosure practices:
|
|
|
|
1. Security researcher reports vulnerability privately
|
|
2. We acknowledge receipt and begin investigation
|
|
3. We develop and test a fix
|
|
4. We prepare a security advisory
|
|
5. We release the fix and publish the advisory
|
|
6. Public disclosure after 90 days (or sooner if fix is available)
|
|
|
|
### Security Best Practices for Users
|
|
|
|
1. **Keep Ghost Updated**: Always use the latest version
|
|
2. **Run with Minimal Privileges**: Don't run as Administrator unless necessary
|
|
3. **Validate Detection Results**: Ghost is a tool to assist analysis, not replace human judgment
|
|
4. **Secure Your Environment**: Ensure your analysis environment is properly isolated
|
|
|
|
### Known Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
1. **Memory Access**: Ghost requires elevated privileges to read process memory
|
|
2. **False Positives**: Detection engines may flag legitimate software
|
|
3. **Evasion**: Advanced malware may evade detection techniques
|
|
4. **Performance Impact**: Intensive scanning may affect system performance
|
|
|
|
### Security Features
|
|
|
|
- Memory-safe Rust implementation
|
|
- Input validation on all API boundaries
|
|
- Minimal attack surface design
|
|
- No network communication by default
|
|
- Comprehensive error handling
|
|
|
|
### Vulnerability Categories We're Interested In
|
|
|
|
**High Priority:**
|
|
|
|
- Memory safety violations
|
|
- Privilege escalation
|
|
- Code injection vulnerabilities
|
|
- Authentication bypass
|
|
- Sensitive data exposure
|
|
|
|
**Medium Priority:**

|
|
|
- Denial of service
|
|
- Information disclosure
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Out of Scope:**
|
|
|
|
- Issues requiring physical access
|
|
- Social engineering attacks
|
|
- Third-party dependency vulnerabilities (unless exploitable through Ghost)
