Security policy

Supported versions

Rowork is in early development (0.x). Only the latest release receives fixes.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for a security problem. Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting on this repository: Security → Report a vulnerability. Include what you found, how to reproduce it, and the impact you see.

You can expect an acknowledgement, then a fix and a coordinated disclosure.

What is in scope

Rowork runs external programs (npm, Rojo, roblox-ts, Rokit, and on Linux Flatpak), downloads release files, and writes into your project, so the interesting cases are:

  • running unintended commands, for example through crafted arguments or a hostile rowork.json or plugin;
  • downloading or running a file that was not verified;
  • writing outside the project directory;
  • leaking a secret (a token, a cookie) into output, logs or generated files.

What Rowork already does

  • Programs are started without a shell (cross-spawn), so an argument is never interpreted as a command.
  • Rokit is only run after its archive matches the SHA-256 that GitHub publishes for it; a release without a checksum is refused.
  • Rowork never asks for, stores or sends a Roblox cookie, an API key or an npm token.
