Reporting a vulnerability

Report privately through GitHub: Report a vulnerability.

Please do not open a public issue, a pull request, or a discussion for a suspected vulnerability, and please do not post details anywhere public until a fix has shipped.

A useful report includes:

  • the app version and build type (debug, internal, release)
  • the Android version and device
  • what an attacker gains, and what access they need to get there
  • the steps to reproduce it, with a log excerpt or screenshot if you have one

Redact your own credentials, tokens and site URL before sending anything. If a report would require sharing a live API key or session token, describe the request instead of including the secret.

What to expect

  • Acknowledgement within three working days.
  • An assessment, with a severity and a decision on whether it is in scope, within seven days.
  • High severity fixes go into the next release. Lower severity fixes are scheduled openly in the issue tracker once a public description is safe.

You will be credited in the release notes and the advisory unless you would rather stay anonymous. This is an unpaid project; there is no bug bounty.

Scope

In scope, in this repository:

  • storage and handling of site credentials and OAuth tokens; the app keeps API keys, secrets and tokens in EncryptedSharedPreferences under an AES256-GCM master key
  • the API client and anything that could send credentials or ticket data somewhere other than the configured site
  • the local Room cache of tickets and agents, and what an attacker with device access can read from it
  • push notification registration and payload handling
  • the release pipeline: the signing setup, the workflows under .github/workflows, and the published APK

Out of scope:

  • Frappe Framework and Frappe Helpdesk themselves. Report those to Frappe through https://frappe.io/security.
  • configuration and hosting of the Helpdesk site the app connects to, including its permissions, roles and API key policy
  • anything that needs a rooted or already compromised device, or physical access to an unlocked phone that is signed in
  • results from automated scanners with no working attack path against this app
  • the placeholder values in local.properties.sample and google-services.json.sample, which are not real credentials

Notes for reporters

The app talks only to the site URL you configure, and it is distributed as a signed APK from the GitHub releases page of this repository. An APK from anywhere else is not ours and is not covered by this policy.
