Security Policy

workdir runs untrusted code, so security reports are high priority.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for a suspected vulnerability.

Use GitHub private vulnerability reporting for this repository. If that is not available, email security@workdir.dev with:

  • the affected component or API,
  • a short impact summary,
  • reproduction steps or a proof of concept,
  • any logs, versions, and deployment details that help reproduce the issue.

We will acknowledge valid reports promptly, triage severity, and coordinate a fix before public disclosure.

Supported versions

The supported open-source target is the current main branch and the latest tagged release, once releases exist. Hosted workdir deployments may run patched code ahead of the public release while a vulnerability is being fixed.

Scope notes

  • The mock runtime has no isolation and is for local development only. It refuses to start unless WORKDIR_ALLOW_INSECURE_RUNTIME=1 is set.
  • Production isolation depends on the Firecracker runtime, the jailer, KVM, nftables policy, and correctly built guest images.
  • Known deferred hardening work is tracked in docs/REVIEW.md.

Reports about sandbox escapes, cross-tenant access, credential leakage, SSRF, billing bypass, privilege boundaries, and image-building abuse are all in scope.
