Security Policy

This repository contains instructions and templates, not a hosted service.

Reporting a problem

Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting form. Do not publish active credentials, private repository content, or a working exploit in a public issue.

For documentation errors that do not expose sensitive information, open a normal GitHub issue.

Safe use of examples

  • Read shell commands and hooks before executing them.
  • Use test accounts and least-privilege tokens for MCP servers.
  • Keep secrets in environment variables or an approved secret manager.
  • Start new integrations in read-only mode.
  • Never give an unattended workflow broader access than its task requires.
  • Treat web pages, issue text, and external tool output as untrusted input.

The sandbox limits what commands can access; the approval policy controls when Codex must pause. They are complementary controls, not substitutes.

See the official Codex security documentation.
