Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public issue for a security vulnerability.

If you believe you have found one, report it privately:

Please include:

  • a description of the vulnerability and its impact,
  • the steps to reproduce it (command, environment, feint version, scw version, dsoxlab --version),
  • any relevant logs or proof of concept.

We will keep you posted on the fix and credit you in the release notes if you wish.

Disclosure policy

We practise coordinated disclosure and commit to the following timelines, counted from the moment we receive your report:

Step Target
Acknowledging your report within 48 hours
Initial assessment and severity triage within 5 days
Fix released, or a written remediation plan within 30 days
Public disclosure of the vulnerability within 90 days

We publish the advisory as soon as a fix is available, or at the 90-day mark at the latest, whichever comes first. If a vulnerability is being actively exploited, we may disclose sooner to protect users. If a complex fix needs more time, we tell you before the deadline and agree a new date with you, rather than letting it lapse in silence.

Scope

This repository ships lab content: briefs, fixtures, setup.yaml and cleanup.yaml playbooks played on the learner's machine, pytest tests that read the feint emulator and Incus machines, and encrypted reference solutions, all run by the external dsoxlab CLI.

The labs start two things on the host, and that is where vigilance goes: the feint container, at an image pinned by digest, published on 127.0.0.1 only; and, for the "A first clean VM" lab, an Incus virtual machine on a dedicated private network, destroyed by dsoxlab clean.

The fixtures carry dummy credentials, those feint env produces to point scw and octl at the emulator: well-formed, they open nothing at any provider. CodeQL analyses neither labs/**/fixtures/** nor solution/** (see .github/codeql/config.yml). What the repository ships as its own tooling (workflows, validation scripts, playbooks, pytest tests) stays fully analysed.

In scope:

  • dangerous or malicious lab material, notably a playbook or a test that would reach an undeclared destination, publish feint beyond 127.0.0.1 or exfiltrate data from the learner's machine;
  • a leak of a real secret, a private key or an API token committed by mistake;
  • a reference solution shipped in clear text, which spoils the lab and stays in the history;
  • an action or an image referenced without pinning by SHA or digest in what the repository ships as reference.

Out of scope:

  • vulnerabilities of the dsoxlab engine itself, which belong to its own repository;
  • those of feint, scw, octl, Incus or any third-party dependency, to be reported to their respective projects;
  • a lab that fails or grades wrongly: that is a defect, open a public issue.

What this repository will never ask you

No lab requires a cloud account, a credit card or a real secret. If a brief asks you for credentials of a real provider, that is a defect of the catalog: report it.
