Reporting a Vulnerability

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

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, email the maintainer directly or use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting.

What to include

  • Description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Potential impact
  • Suggested fix (if any)

Response timeline

  • Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours
  • Assessment: Within 7 days
  • Fix release: As soon as practical, depending on severity

Scope

GameShift modifies system-level settings (services, registry keys, power plans, process priority) and requires administrator privileges. The following are in scope for security reports:

  • Privilege escalation beyond intended functionality
  • Unauthorized registry or filesystem modifications
  • Data exfiltration or unintended network activity
  • Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies

Security Design

  • GameShift makes no network calls and sends no telemetry
  • All data is stored locally in %AppData%\GameShift\
  • All system modifications are recorded in SystemStateSnapshot for full reversibility
  • Source code is open and auditable
