I take the security of Flux Shell seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please follow these steps:

1. DO NOT open a public issue
2. Send a description of the vulnerability to [email protected]
3. Include the following information:
   • Type of vulnerability
   • Full path to source file(s) related to the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Impact of the vulnerability
   • (Optional) Suggested fix

You can expect:

• Acknowledgment of your report within 48 hours
• Regular updates on my progress
• Credit in the security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

Flux Shell includes a plugin system that can execute arbitrary code. To minimize risk:

1. Only install plugins from trusted sources
2. Review plugin source code before installation
3. Use the built-in code review feature: flux plugin install <url>
4. Plugins run with the same permissions as the shell itself

• Internal environment variables are stored encrypted
• Use env -s KEY=VALUE internal for sensitive data
• System environment variables are stored in plain text

• Config files are stored in user space only
• Permissions are set to 600 (user read/write only)
• Sensitive data should not be stored in the config file

1. Plugin Installation

   # Review code before installing
   flux plugin install <url> # Choose [O]pen for code review

2. Sensitive Data

   # Store sensitive data as internal variables
   flux env -s API_KEY=secret internal

3. Configuration

   # Check file permissions
   ls -l ~/.config/rip.choco.flux/config.fl
   # Should show: -rw------- (600)

• Environment variable encryption
• Plugin code review system
• Permission checks on startup
• Secure configuration storage
• Input sanitization
• Path traversal prevention

Please check my GitHub Issues tagged with security for any known security issues.
