Security policy

Supported versions

Security fixes target the latest tagged cecli release and the current master branch.

Reporting

Do not include credentials, private memory dumps, exploit payloads, or personal data in public issues. Use a private security advisory in the authorized GitHub repository once it exists, or contact the repository owner through their verified GitHub profile.

Operational safety

  • Use cecli only on systems and processes you own or are explicitly authorized to inspect.
  • Bind ceserver to trusted interfaces and restrict access with host firewalls or authenticated tunnels.
  • Keep the optional cebridge bound to loopback unless a firewall or authenticated tunnel restricts every permitted client.
  • On macOS, sign only the intended cecli binary with build/macos-debugger.entitlements; debugger permission is powerful, does not bypass SIP, and should not be added to unrelated binaries.
  • On Windows, elevate cecli --native only when the authorized target requires matching integrity; do not use elevation to probe unrelated or protected processes.
  • Treat process memory as sensitive data.
  • Preview writes with --dry-run, require --yes, and prefer --verify.
  • Do not run remote file, injection, debugger, or termination capabilities without an explicit review of target authorization and rollback behavior.
  • Prefer memory scan; use memory aobscan --yes only when testing the server-side packet against the bundled patched server. Older unpatched servers contain an unsafe experimental scanner.
  • Review local paths before remote put, remote get, or pipe write --file; those commands can transfer sensitive files and require explicit confirmation for mutation.
  • cecli does not invoke a shell for command arguments. Paths, patterns, values, and pipe payloads are parsed locally or transmitted as protocol data, so normal filesystem syntax is not rejected as shell syntax.
