aaddrick--claude-desktop-debian/SECURITY.md

Security Policy

Report suspected vulnerabilities privately via GitHub Security Advisories. Do not open a public issue or post details in Discussions.

Scope

This project repackages an upstream Electron app. The boundary matters:

In scope — things this repo ships:

• Patches in scripts/patches/*.sh
• Packaging scripts in scripts/packaging/
• The launcher (scripts/launcher-common.sh) and the claude-desktop --doctor surface
• CI workflows under .github/workflows/
• The APT/DNF Cloudflare Worker under worker/
• The frame-fix wrapper and any other JS we inject into app.asar

Out of scope — file upstream:

• Vulnerabilities in the Claude Desktop application itself, the Anthropic API, or the claude.ai web app. Those go to Anthropic's support / disclosure channels — not here. This project can't fix them and shouldn't be the public record.

What to include in a report

• Reproducer: commands, environment, distro / desktop / session type
• Output of claude-desktop --doctor if relevant
• Affected version(s) — git describe --tags or the release tag you installed from
• Any related upstream CVEs or advisories you found while investigating

Response

GitHub Advisories notify @aaddrick. Acknowledgement is usually within a few days. Fix turnaround depends on the surface — packaging-layer bugs are usually fast; patches against minified upstream JS may need to wait for a tractable anchor in a future upstream release.

Disclosure history

Past privacy-sensitive fixes (e.g., issue-triage bot scoping, log redaction in --doctor output) landed through the normal PR flow with public history; there have been no embargoed disclosures to date. If that changes, this section gets entries with the advisory ID, the affected versions, and the fix.
