Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please follow these steps:

1. Do Not Open a Public Issue

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

2. Report Privately

Send your report to:

3. Include Details

Please provide:

  • Type of vulnerability
  • Full path of source file(s) related to the issue
  • Location of affected source code (tag/branch/commit)
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if available)
  • Impact assessment
  • Suggested fix (if any)

4. Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Status Update: Within 7 days
  • Fix Timeline: Critical issues within 30 days

Security Best Practices

For Users

  1. Run with Appropriate Privileges

    # Only use sudo when necessary
    sudo python3 main.py
  2. Keep Dependencies Updated

    pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
  3. Verify Source

    # Always clone from official repository
    git clone https://github.com/U-C4N/Wif-G.git
  4. Review Permissions

    • Port scanning may require firewall exceptions
    • Network modifications need admin rights
    • Be cautious with optimization features

For Developers

  1. Code Review

    • All PRs require review before merge
    • Security-sensitive changes need extra scrutiny
  2. Dependency Scanning

    # Check for known vulnerabilities
    pip install safety
    safety check
  3. Static Analysis

    # Security linting
    bandit -r src/
  4. Input Validation

    • Always validate user inputs
    • Sanitize command-line arguments
    • Prevent injection attacks

Known Security Considerations

Network Scanning

  • Port scanning may trigger IDS/IPS alerts
  • Some networks block or rate-limit scanning
  • Ensure you have permission to scan the network

Privilege Escalation

  • Tool requires sudo for full functionality
  • Minimal privilege principle applied where possible
  • Root operations clearly documented

Data Handling

  • No sensitive data is stored permanently
  • Network credentials are never collected
  • Temporary files cleaned up on exit

Responsible Disclosure

We believe in responsible disclosure:

  1. Report the vulnerability privately
  2. Allow reasonable time for fix development
  3. Coordinate public disclosure timing
  4. Credit researchers appropriately (if desired)

Security Updates

Security patches are released as:

  • Critical: Immediate patch release
  • High: Within 7 days
  • Medium: Next minor version
  • Low: Next major version
