Reporting a vulnerability

  • Do not open a public issue for a suspected vulnerability.
  • Report privately via GitHub Security Advisories for this repository.
  • Include: affected version, deployment type (Docker/bare-metal/Kubernetes), a minimal reproduction, and the impact you believe it has.

Response targets

Stage Target
Acknowledgement 5 business days
Initial assessment (severity, affected versions) 10 business days
Fix or mitigation, once confirmed best-effort, scaled to severity

Scope notes

gpm terminates TLS and handles authentication (OIDC, forward-auth, client-cert/mTLS, local admin login) for every request that crosses it. Its attack surface includes:

  • The data plane (public ports 80/443): TLS termination, routing, the middleware chain, and every auth gate.
  • The control plane (admin port 8081): the REST API and web UI, which are not meant to be exposed directly to the internet: see docs/deployment.md and the README's Security section.
  • The git-backed config store: secrets are referenced via ${ENV:} / ${FILE:} placeholders and never committed in plaintext by design; a report that a literal secret can end up committed is in scope.

Out of scope: vulnerabilities in a proxied backend application itself, or in an operator's own reverse-proxy/ingress fronting gpm's admin plane.

There aren't any published security advisories
