Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Email the maintainers directly (see repository contact info) or open a private security advisory via GitHub's Security → Advisories tab.

Include:

  • Description of the issue
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Affected version (git hash or tag)
  • Potential impact

We will acknowledge reports within 72 hours and aim to resolve confirmed vulnerabilities within 14 days.


Known security boundaries

Smriti is a single-user tool with no authentication layer. It is designed for local or private-network deployment.

Do not expose the backend port (8000) to the public internet. The API has no authentication; anyone who can reach it can read and write all data.

If you deploy Smriti on a server:

  • Put the backend behind a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, etc.)
  • Restrict access with network-level controls or auth middleware
  • Change the default database credentials in docker-compose.yml and .env
  • Do not commit backend/config/providers.yaml — it is gitignored for this reason

API keys

API keys are configured via environment variables or backend/config/providers.yaml (gitignored). They are never returned by any API endpoint. The backend logging middleware applies a SecretGuardFilter that redacts sk-* patterns from all log output.
