Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in this project or any other software maintained by Posit, PBC, we encourage you to report it responsibly. Please do not open a public issue. Instead, please use the Report a vulnerability function available via the security tab.

Your report should include (if possible):

  • a clear description of the vulnerability, including impact and affected versions
  • steps to reproduce the issue
  • any relevant code snippets, logs, or proof-of-concept exploit
  • suggested remediation or mitigation, if known

We aim to acknowledge receipt of your report within 7 business days and provide an update on remediation progress within 14 business days.

Coordinated Disclosure

We follow a coordinated disclosure approach. Once the issue is confirmed and a fix is ready, we will:

  • notify you prior to public disclosure
  • credit you in the release notes (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
  • publish a security advisory and update affected versions
  • if severe enough, assist with publishing a CVE

Security Best Practices

To minimize your exposure:

  • always use the latest stable release
  • avoid running our tools with unnecessary privileges
  • review and validate third-party extensions or plugins before use
