Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

If you find a security issue in TruthLens — for example, a way to make the content script execute attacker-controlled code, a cross-site leak, or a storage-permission abuse — please report it privately first.

Email: ihtisham.skp@gmail.com Subject line: [TruthLens security]

Please include:

  • The browser and version you reproduced on
  • A minimal proof-of-concept
  • The impact you believe this has

We aim to acknowledge within 72 hours and ship a fix within 14 days for high-severity issues. Once a fix ships, we'll credit you in the release notes unless you'd rather stay anonymous.

Scope

In scope:

  • The extension code (manifest, background, content, detectors, popup, options)
  • Anything that could exfiltrate page content off-device (this would be a contradiction of the project's core promise)

Out of scope:

  • Heuristic false positives or false negatives (these are detector quality issues, not security issues — open a regular GitHub issue for those)
  • Issues that require a compromised host browser

Our commitments

  • No telemetry, ever.
  • No remote code loading.
  • No exfiltration of page content.
  • Minimal permissions — we only request what's needed for in-page scanning.
