Security Policy

OpenWorker is a security-positioned project; we hold ourselves to the standard we pitch. If you find a vulnerability, we want to hear about it.

Reporting a vulnerability

Email security@openworker.com with:

  • a description of the issue and its impact,
  • reproduction steps or a proof of concept,
  • the version you tested (app version from the About screen, or a commit hash).

Please use email rather than a public issue so a fix can ship before details are public. We'll acknowledge your report within 3 business days, keep you updated as we work on it, and credit you in the release notes when the fix ships (unless you prefer otherwise). Please give us a reasonable window to fix before public disclosure.

Scope

  • The desktop app and local agent server in this repository - including the permission gates, approval/reviewer flow, and audit trail. Bypasses of the human-only floors or approval gates (e.g. via prompt injection or a malicious MCP tool) are in scope and treated as high severity.
  • The OAuth broker service used for managed connectors.

Out of scope: vulnerabilities in third-party model providers or connected services themselves, and issues requiring an already-compromised machine.

Supported versions

The latest release only. The app auto-updates, so fixes reach installs quickly - this is also why we don't patch older versions.

There is no bug bounty program at this time.
