Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open public issues for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, report privately via one of:

Include:

  • A description of the issue and its impact.
  • Steps to reproduce (a proof of concept if possible).
  • Affected version / commit.

We aim to acknowledge reports within a few days and to ship a fix or mitigation as quickly as is practical, crediting you unless you prefer to remain anonymous.

Scope and threat model

MacCam is a fully offline, App-Sandboxed macOS app with no network code. Its trust boundaries are narrow:

  • It records the local camera/microphone to a user-selected local folder.
  • Settings live in the app's sandboxed UserDefaults.
  • It receives standard screen-lock distributed notifications (for guard mode).

Reports most relevant to this model include: sandbox escapes, arbitrary file read/write/delete outside the chosen folder, privilege escalation, or any path by which data could leave the machine. General Gatekeeper friction from ad-hoc signing is expected and documented, not a vulnerability.
