Security Policy

Supported versions

Security fixes target the latest code on the main branch and the most recent GitHub Release (when releases exist). Older tags are not maintained.

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public issue for security problems.

Please report vulnerabilities privately using one of:

1. GitHub Security Advisories (preferred) — "Report a vulnerability" on the repository Security tab
2. A private message to the repository maintainers via GitHub

Include:

• A description of the issue and its impact
• Steps to reproduce or a proof of concept when safe to share
• Affected version or commit if known

What to expect

• Acknowledgement when a maintainer has seen the report
• An initial assessment of severity and scope
• A coordinated fix and disclosure timeline when the report is valid

We will not take legal action against good-faith research that follows this policy and avoids privacy harm, service disruption, or data destruction.

Scope notes for watermarks-remover

watermarks-remover is a local agent skill and a set of Python scripts that inspect and clean text and image files. Reports that matter most include:

• Path traversal or unsafe writes outside intended output paths
• Command injection when optional tools (c2patool, exiftool) are invoked
• Parser crashes or resource exhaustion on crafted images/text that affect the host beyond normal process failure
• Accidental leakage of user file contents in logs, error messages, or diagnostics that ship with the skill

Out of scope (unless they cause a concrete security impact in this project):

• Bypassing AI provenance marks for fraud, copyright evasion, or illegal non-disclosure (see skill references/ethics.md)
• Issues only in third-party tools (c2patool, exiftool, agents)
• Social engineering of individual users

Prefer private disclosure

After a fix is released, we may credit reporters who want public credit. Do not publish exploit details until a fixed release is available, unless we agree otherwise.
