  • Exposure of secrets in logs or telemetry

Responsible Disclosure

Please provide reasonable time for investigation and remediation before publicly disclosing any security vulnerability.

The goal is to protect users while addressing issues responsibly.


Security Design Principles

Bisync Hub follows several core security principles:

  • Local-first operation
  • Principle of least privilege
  • Credential redaction by default
  • Explicit user actions for destructive operations
  • Review before synchronization changes
  • No intentional collection of user data

Users remain responsible for securing their own systems, accounts, and Rclone configurations.

Third-Party Components

Bisync Hub integrates with third-party software and libraries that are distributed under their own licenses.

Security reports relating to third-party dependencies may be redirected to the appropriate upstream project when necessary.
