Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security bugs.

Send a report to jumoell@protonmail.com or message m1sterc001guy.97 on Signal.

Please include:

  • What the bug is and where it is in the code.
  • How to reproduce it, if possible.
  • What an attacker can do with it (steal funds, drain a wallet, leak the seed phrase or user data, deanonymize a user, brick the app, etc.).
  • Your name or handle, if you want credit in the fix announcement.

Encrypted Reports

For sensitive reports, Signal is preferred. If you would rather use email, encrypt it with PGP.

Check the fingerprint against the table above before you use the key.

Please keep the bug private until a fix is released and users have had time to upgrade.

Supported Versions

We only fix security bugs in the latest release. Older releases do not get patches. Run a current release.

Scope

In scope:

  • All code in this repository: the Flutter UI (lib/), the Rust wallet core (rust/), and the Android, Linux, and macOS platform code.
  • Fund safety, seed phrase and key handling, backup and recovery, transaction privacy, and anything that lets a third party spend or observe a user's funds without consent.
  • The interfaces the app exposes to the outside world: Lightning Address, Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC), Nostr relay handling, QR/invoice and invite code parsing, and deep links or intents handled by the app.

Out of scope:

  • Bugs in third-party software we depend on, including Fedimint itself (report them upstream, but tell us too if this app is affected). Fedimint vulnerabilities go to security@fedimint.org.
  • Attacks that need a majority of a federation's guardians to be malicious. The Fedimint threat model assumes fewer than one third of guardians are faulty.
  • Attacks that need physical access to an already unlocked device, or a rooted/jailbroken device compromised by other means.
  • Malicious federations or gateways doing what they are trusted to do (e.g. a federation the user chose to join refusing to honor ecash).
