Reporting a Vulnerability

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.

Response

  • 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.

Scope

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.
