Security policy
How to report a vulnerability, what's in scope, and how we handle it.
Supported versions
This project is pre-launch and under active development. There are no formal support guarantees yet; security fixes are handled on a best-effort basis.
Reporting a vulnerability
If you believe you've found a security issue:
- Do not open a public issue on Forgejo or GitHub.
- Email:
hello@allotmentology.tech- Include a short description, steps to reproduce, and any relevant logs or screenshots.
- If you need to share sensitive details, ask for a preferred secure channel in your first email.
We aim to acknowledge valid reports within 5 business days and to provide a rough remediation plan or next steps within 15 business days.
Infrastructure and hosting
Production runs on Allotment Technology Ltd's self-hosted Hetzner k3s cluster, reachable
at teasynaer.dev. Forgejo (git.allotmentology.tech) is the primary git host and CI
runner; GitHub is a push-mirror and fallback. Secrets are managed via the cluster's External
Secrets Operator + Infisical and are never committed to this repository.
Self-hosted instances run under whatever infrastructure the operator chooses — the guidance
above describes Allotment's own deployment (teasynaer.dev), not a requirement for
self-hosters.
In-scope areas
Security reports are most helpful when they relate to:
- Authentication and session handling (local admin, OIDC, forwarded-auth header trust).
- Access control around test packages, runs, and evidence.
- Leakage of secrets or credentials in the application, logs, or configuration.
- Evidence handling: redaction-before-storage, recording upload validation, retention.
- Issue-tracker adapter credential handling (Huly and future adapters).
- Host/infrastructure exposure relevant to the reference deployment.
- Supply-chain issues: malicious or compromised dependencies, secrets committed to the repo, CI workflow poisoning.
Vulnerability management
Reported and scanner-detected vulnerabilities are triaged against severity. CI blocks merges
on HIGH/CRITICAL findings from dependency and secret scanning (see .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml).
