Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it through GitHub's private vulnerability reporting.

Please do not open a public issue for security vulnerabilities.

What to Expect

This is a side project maintained in spare time. Critical vulnerabilities will be prioritized, but please be patient with response times.

  • Acknowledgment: Best effort, typically within a few days
  • Resolution: Depends on severity and complexity
  • Disclosure: Coordinated disclosure after a fix is available

Scope

hushtype runs entirely locally -- no network services, no user accounts, no data storage beyond local config. The primary attack surface is:

  • PyInstaller executable integrity
  • Clipboard handling (temporary clipboard access during paste operations)
  • Whisper model download (first run only, from HuggingFace)

Out of Scope

  • Social engineering attacks
  • Attacks requiring physical access to the machine
  • Issues in upstream dependencies (report those to the respective projects)
