Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue in the OWASP Agentic AI Scanner, please report it responsibly.

For Vulnerabilities in the Scanner Itself

Do NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please use one of these methods:

  1. GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting (Preferred)

    • Go to the Security tab
    • Click "Report a vulnerability"
    • Fill out the form with details
  2. Email

    • Contact the maintainers directly via GitHub

What to Include

Please include the following in your report:

  • Type of vulnerability (RCE, path traversal, information disclosure, etc.)
  • Steps to reproduce the vulnerability
  • Affected versions
  • Potential impact
  • Suggested fix (if you have one)

Response Timeline

  • Initial Response: Within 48 hours
  • Status Update: Within 7 days
  • Fix Timeline: Depends on severity
    • Critical: 24-48 hours
    • High: 7 days
    • Medium: 30 days
    • Low: Next release

What to Expect

  1. Acknowledgment: We'll confirm receipt of your report
  2. Assessment: We'll evaluate the vulnerability
  3. Fix Development: We'll develop and test a fix
  4. Coordinated Disclosure: We'll work with you on disclosure timing
  5. Credit: We'll credit you in the release notes (unless you prefer anonymity)

For Vulnerabilities Detected BY the Scanner

If the scanner detects a vulnerability in your code, that's the scanner working as intended! 🎉

  • Check the documentation for remediation guidance
  • Use inline suppression (# noqa: AA01) for false positives
  • Open a bug report if you believe it's a false positive

Security Best Practices

When using this scanner:

  1. Keep it updated: Always use the latest version
  2. Review findings: Don't blindly suppress warnings
  3. Integrate in CI/CD: Catch issues early
  4. Use baselines carefully: Don't baseline real vulnerabilities

Scope

This security policy covers:

  • The owasp-agentic-scanner Python package
  • The CLI tool (owasp-scan)
  • Official GitHub Actions and integrations

It does NOT cover:

  • Third-party integrations
  • Forks of this repository
  • User-created rules or plugins

Recognition

We appreciate security researchers who help keep this project safe. Contributors who report valid vulnerabilities will be:

  • Credited in the release notes
  • Added to our Security Hall of Fame (coming soon)

Thank you for helping secure the AI security community! 🛡️
