Supported Versions

This project is released as open source without a formal support policy. Security fixes will be backported at the maintainers' discretion. We encourage users to follow the main branch for the latest patches.

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security issue, please contact us at security@openai.com with the details. We aim to acknowledge new reports within three business days.

Please do not file public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities. Include the following information in your email when possible:

  • Description of the issue and potential impact
  • Steps to reproduce or proof-of-concept exploit
  • Any mitigations you have identified
  • Suggested CVSS score (if available)

We will coordinate disclosure following a reasonable remediation period. If you are able to provide a patch or mitigation, please include it.

Best Practices for Users

  • Rotate API keys and credentials regularly and store them outside of version control.

  • Review .env.example for required configuration and avoid committing .env files.

  • Run trufflehog git file://. (or similar tooling) before publishing forks to ensure secrets are not present in commit history.

  • Periodically audit dependencies:

    pip install pip-audit && pip-audit
    npm audit --omit=dev

    (These commands require internet access.)

  • Limit access to sample datasets that may contain sensitive information, and replace them with your own data before deploying publicly.
