Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security problems.

Use GitHub's private reporting: Security → Report a vulnerability on this repository. Include what you found, steps to reproduce, and the affected version. You can expect an acknowledgement within a few days.

Things worth knowing

  • ByteTide makes no network connections of its own. The only outbound traffic is email alerts if you configure SMTP.
  • SMTP passwords are currently stored as plain text in the local settings table (app_settings). Use a dedicated or app-specific password, not a primary account password. Improving this (e.g. Windows DPAPI) is a welcome contribution.
  • The Windows Service runs with whatever account you install it under. Prefer a least-privilege account where possible.
