Security Policy

Overview

mywebui is a local-first system designed to run inside a trusted boundary (e.g. a developer workstation, VM, or private server).

Security is treated as a first-class design constraint, not an afterthought. However, this project is currently in alpha and should not yet be considered production-hardened.


Supported Versions

Only the latest tagged alpha release is supported for security review.

  • Older alpha tags may contain known or unknown issues
  • No security backports are provided before beta

Threat Model

mywebui assumes:

  • The host machine is trusted
  • The operator controls local access
  • No hostile multi-tenant environment
  • No exposure directly to the public internet

Out of scope (by design):

  • Cloud threat models
  • Zero-trust internal networking
  • Malicious local administrators
  • Compromised host OS

This is a deliberate design choice, not an oversight.


Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security issue, please do not open a public issue.

Instead, report it privately via one of the following:

Please include:

  • A clear description of the issue
  • Steps to reproduce (if applicable)
  • Potential impact
  • Affected versions or commit hash

Disclosure Policy

  • Valid reports will be acknowledged within 72 hours
  • Fixes will be developed privately
  • Public disclosure will occur after a fix is available
  • Credit will be given if requested

Current Security Guarantees

Within the alpha scope, the project guarantees:

  • Explicit authentication and authorization boundaries
  • No silent tool execution
  • Auditable side-effects
  • No background network access without configuration
  • No telemetry or data exfiltration

These guarantees are enforced by design and covered by tests where applicable.


Alpha Caveat

This project is not yet suitable for high-risk or production environments.

If you require:

  • Strong sandboxing
  • Hostile multi-user guarantees
  • Remote exposure hardening
  • Formal security audits

Please wait for beta or contribute to the hardening effort.
