Security Policy
Supported Versions
We aim to provide security updates for the latest version of Fabric.
We recommend always using the latest version of Fabric for security fixes and improvements.
Reporting Security Vulnerabilities
Please DO NOT report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.
Preferred Reporting Method
Send security reports directly to: kayvan@sylvan.com and CC to the project maintainer at daniel@danielmiessler.com
What to Include
Please provide the following information:
- Vulnerability Type: What kind of security issue (e.g., injection, authentication bypass, etc.)
- Affected Components: Which parts of Fabric are affected
- Impact Assessment: What could an attacker accomplish
- Reproduction Steps: Clear steps to reproduce the vulnerability
- Proposed Fix: If you have suggestions for remediation
- Disclosure Timeline: Your preferred timeline for public disclosure
Example Report Format

Security Considerations
API Keys and Secrets
- Never commit API keys to the repository
- Store secrets in environment variables or secure configuration
- Use the built-in setup process for key management
- Regularly rotate API keys
Input Validation
- All user inputs are validated before processing
- Special attention to pattern definitions and user content
- URL validation for web scraping features
AI Provider Integration
- Secure communication with AI providers (HTTPS/TLS)
- Token handling follows provider best practices
- No sensitive data logged or cached unencrypted
Network Security
- Web server endpoints properly authenticated when required
- CORS policies appropriately configured
- Rate limiting implemented where necessary
Vulnerability Response Process
- Report Received: We'll acknowledge receipt within 24 hours
- Initial Assessment: We'll evaluate severity and impact within 72 hours
- Investigation: We'll investigate and develop fixes
- Fix Development: We'll create and test patches
- Coordinated Disclosure: We'll work with reporter on disclosure timeline
- Release: We'll release patched version with security advisory
Timeline Expectations
- Critical: 1-7 days
- High: 7-30 days
- Medium: 30-90 days
- Low: Next scheduled release
Bug Bounty
We don't currently offer a formal bug bounty program, but we deeply appreciate security research and will:
- Acknowledge contributors in release notes
- Provide credit in security advisories
- Consider swag or small rewards for significant findings
Security Best Practices for Users
Installation
- Download Fabric only from official sources
- Verify checksums when available
- Keep installations up to date
Configuration
- Use strong, unique API keys
- Don't share configuration files containing secrets
- Set appropriate file permissions on config directories
Usage
- Be cautious with patterns that process sensitive data
- Review AI provider terms for data handling
- Consider using local models for sensitive content
Known Security Limitations
AI Provider Dependencies
Fabric relies on external AI providers. Security depends partly on:
- Provider security practices
- Data transmission security
- Provider data handling policies
Pattern Execution
Custom patterns could potentially:
- Process sensitive inputs inappropriately
- Generate outputs containing sensitive information
- Be used for adversarial prompt injection
Recommendation: Review patterns carefully, especially those from untrusted sources.
Security Updates
Security updates are distributed through:
- GitHub Releases with security tags
- Security advisories on GitHub
- Project documentation updates
