Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in OpenDecree, please report it responsibly.

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report it via GitHub Security Advisories with:

  1. A description of the vulnerability
  2. Steps to reproduce
  3. The potential impact
  4. Any suggested fix (optional)

You should receive a response within 48 hours. We will work with you to understand and address the issue before any public disclosure.

Supported Versions

Version Supported
0.10.x (alpha)
< 0.10

During alpha, only the latest minor release receives security backports. See GitHub Releases for the current version.

Artifact Attestations

All release binaries and Docker images are signed with Sigstore via GitHub Actions artifact attestations (SLSA provenance).

Verify a downloaded binary

gh attestation verify decree_linux_amd64.tar.gz --owner opendecree

Replace the filename with the archive you downloaded (e.g. decree-server_darwin_arm64.tar.gz).

Verify a Docker image

gh attestation verify oci://ghcr.io/opendecree/decree:VERSION --owner opendecree
gh attestation verify oci://ghcr.io/opendecree/decree-cli:VERSION --owner opendecree

Replace VERSION with the release version (e.g. 0.10.0-alpha.1).

Tamper-Evident Audit Log

OpenDecree maintains a tamper-evident audit chain for all configuration and admin mutations.

  • Each audit row stores a SHA-256 hash chaining it to the previous entry for the same tenant.
  • A database trigger rejects UPDATE/DELETE on rows older than 60 seconds, preventing silent history rewrites.
  • Operators can verify chain integrity with decree audit verify --tenant <id>.

The chain relies on hash chaining, not HMAC-keyed authentication. It is a deterrent against casual tampering; a compromised application credential can insert false entries that appear valid in the chain. See docs/development/threat-model.md for the full trust model.
