Hidden Alchemy uses GitHub's built-in private vulnerability reporting: security vulnerabilities in any Hidden Alchemy repository should be reported through the Security → Report a vulnerability feature on the affected repository's GitHub page.
This is the only reporting channel. We do not maintain a public email address or external form for security reports.
- Acknowledgement: we aim to acknowledge receipt within 7 days of a report.
- Triage and fix: we aim to respond with an assessment and, where appropriate, a fix plan within a reasonable timeframe. Hidden Alchemy does not currently have a dedicated, funded security response team; the Core Team handles reports on a best-effort basis alongside regular maintainer work. We state this plainly so expectations are honest.
- Disclosure: we coordinate disclosure responsibly after a fix is released. We ask that you refrain from public disclosure until we have had the opportunity to respond.
This policy applies to software and infrastructure maintained under the Hidden
Alchemy organization. Reports about the organization's configuration (.github
repository) are handled through the same channel.
- Never commit secrets, tokens, or credentials to any repository.
- Never log secret material in workflow output, issue bodies, or comments.
- Report supply-chain or permission issues even if you are unsure whether they are in scope — we would rather triage an unnecessary report than miss a real one.
