Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for security problems. Instead, use GitHub private vulnerability reporting for this repository. If that channel is unavailable, open an issue that only asks a maintainer to get in touch — without any technical detail — and we will move the exchange to a private channel.

When reporting, never include:

  • credentials, API keys, or tokens (rotate anything you suspect leaked);
  • personal recordings, camera frames, or other local media;
  • private runtime traces, telemetry, or workspace contents.

A minimal description of the affected component and the conditions to reproduce is enough. We will acknowledge reports as quickly as we can; this is an experimental project maintained on a best-effort basis.

Scope notes

The settings window is a trusted local configuration surface. Enabling an external MCP server authorizes its configured command to run with the user's permissions; review the command, arguments and environment before saving. Keep remote content out of this configuration authority.

  • The runtime treats external search results and visual content as evidence, never instructions; reports about prompt-injection boundaries are in scope and welcome.
  • Configuration errors must not echo secret values; any counterexample is a bug.
  • Codex workspace paths, Camera file inputs, and the loopback-only MyContext provider base are validated before use; reports about bypasses of those validations are in scope.
  • Home Assistant and AutoGLM are retired: legacy settings for them fail closed before any client is constructed, and a configuration that still reaches one of those endpoints is a bug.
  • Live provider integrations (Qwen realtime, OpenAI, Gemini, Volcengine, Tavily, Codex) run with the credentials you configure locally; secure those credentials as you would for any other tool.
  • The reference self-hosted voice services in serving/ bind to loopback and do not authenticate requests. Do not expose their ports beyond a trusted machine; use an SSH tunnel or an authenticating reverse proxy.
