Scope

In Scope

  • Script injection via malicious URLs
  • Unauthorized file system access beyond Download folder
  • Credential or token exposure in logs or temp files
  • Dependency vulnerabilities (yt-dlp, FFmpeg)

Out of Scope

  • Issues in third-party tools (yt-dlp, FFmpeg) — report those upstream
  • Social engineering attacks
  • Denial of service on local machine

Security Design

  • No credentials stored — Hazel does not handle user accounts or tokens
  • Minimal permissions — only READ storage for music library, no MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
  • No telemetry — no data is collected or transmitted
  • In-app updates — APK downloads verified via GitHub Releases API

Keeping Dependencies Updated

App updates are delivered via GitHub Releases with in-app download and install.
