Security: app-dialect/vinyl

SECURITY.md

Security Policy

Vinyl runs with your user's permissions, reads your Now Playing session, and (with your consent) scripts your browser and music apps. We take that seriously.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please don't open a public issue for security problems. Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting. Include steps to reproduce and the macOS version. You'll get a response as soon as possible, and credit in the fix if you'd like.

Scope

Particularly interesting areas:

  • The Now Playing helper (Helper/), which is loaded into /usr/bin/perl
  • AppleScript sent to browsers and music apps (AppleScriptTarget, BrowserPlayback)
  • Data stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Vinyl

Supported versions

Only the latest release receives fixes during the beta.
