Please don't open a public issue for security vulnerabilities. Instead:
- Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting (Security tab → "Report a vulnerability") on this repo, or
- Contact the maintainer (@Fi3w0) directly.
Include what you found, how to reproduce it, and its potential impact.
- Acknowledgement within 1 week.
- Fix timeline depends on severity. Critical issues (privilege escalation, memory corruption reachable by a compromised client, etc.) are prioritized; low-severity issues are folded into normal release cycles, generally within 30 days.
TideWM is a Wayland compositor, so it mediates untrusted client input by design. Reports involving crashes, memory unsafety, or privilege issues triggerable by a malicious Wayland client are especially welcome.
