As of v0.4.0 (2026-05), all reachable CVEs are closed via dependency upgrades. Remaining advisories are explicitly ignored in deny.toml with documented justification.

CI enforcement: sec-audit.yml job deny / advisories runs cargo deny check advisories without continue-on-error (S5 P0-4) — any new unsuppressed advisory blocks main merges.

Please do NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report them responsibly:

1. Email: Send details to the maintainers via GitHub private vulnerability reporting
2. GitHub: Use GitHub Security Advisories

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce
• Impact assessment
• Suggested fix (if any)

• Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours
• Assessment: Within 1 week
• Fix: Within 2 weeks for critical issues

OpenPRX implements defense-in-depth security:

• ReadOnly — Agent can only read, no shell or write access
• Supervised — Agent can act within allowlists (default)
• Full — Agent has full access within workspace sandbox

1. Workspace isolation — All file operations confined to workspace directory
2. Path traversal blocking — .. sequences and absolute paths rejected
3. Command allowlisting — Only explicitly approved commands can execute
4. Forbidden path list — Critical system paths (/etc, /root, ~/.ssh) always blocked
5. Rate limiting — Max actions per hour and cost per day caps

• Path traversal attacks (../../../etc/passwd)
• Command injection (rm -rf /, curl | sh)
• Workspace escape via symlinks or absolute paths
• Runaway cost from LLM API calls
• Unauthorized shell command execution

All security mechanisms are covered by automated tests (129 tests):

cargo test -- security
cargo test -- tools::shell
cargo test -- tools::file_read
cargo test -- tools::file_write

OpenPRX Docker images follow CIS Docker Benchmark best practices:

# Build and verify non-root user
docker build -t openprx .
docker inspect --format='{{.Config.User}}' openprx
# Expected: 65534:65534

# Run with read-only filesystem (production hardening)
docker run --read-only -v /path/to/workspace:/workspace openprx gateway

The docker job in .github/workflows/ci.yml automatically verifies:

1. Container does not run as root (UID 0)
2. Runtime stage uses :nonroot variant
3. Explicit USER directive with numeric UID exists
