Reporting a Vulnerability

How to Report

Warning

Do NOT open a public issue for security vulnerabilities. Public disclosure before a fix is available puts all users at risk.

To report a security vulnerability, use one of the following methods:

Please include the following information in your report:

  • A clear description of the vulnerability.
  • Steps to reproduce the issue.
  • The potential impact or severity.
  • Any suggested fixes or mitigations, if available.

What to Expect

After submitting a vulnerability report, here's what happens:

  1. Initial response within 48–72 hours — We will acknowledge receipt of your report.
  2. Updates within 7 days — You'll receive a status update on the investigation.
  3. Fix within 30 days — We aim to resolve confirmed vulnerabilities within 30 days of the initial report.
  4. Credit in release notes — With your permission, we'll credit you in the release notes for the fix.

Security Update Process

When a vulnerability is confirmed, we follow this process:

  1. Private fix development — A patch is developed privately to prevent premature disclosure.
  2. New version release — A new version containing the fix is published to the Obsidian Community Plugins directory.
  3. Delayed disclosure — Details of the vulnerability are withheld until users have had time to update.
  4. Security advisory — A public advisory is published with full details after the disclosure period.

Security Best Practices

Follow these recommendations to keep your Project Planner installation secure:

  • Keep updated — Always run the latest version of the plugin. Enable automatic updates in Obsidian's settings if possible.
  • Trusted sources only — Only install Project Planner from the official Obsidian Community Plugins directory or the GitHub releases page.
  • Review permissions — Be mindful of what access any plugin requests and only grant permissions that are necessary.
  • Report suspicious behavior — If you notice unexpected behavior that could indicate a security issue, report it using the methods described above.
Note

Project Planner operates entirely on your local device. Your data is never sent to external servers by the plugin.
