Hey there!

I belong to an open source security research community, and a member (@dwisiswant0) has found an issue, but doesn’t know the best way to disclose it.

If not a hassle, might you kindly add a SECURITY.md file with an email, or another contact method? GitHub recommends this best practice to ensure security issues are responsibly disclosed, and it would serve as a simple instruction for security researchers in the future.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

discord and getting in touch with Markus or Taloth is likely be the best bet as far as the disclosure route, for now at least.

Same concept - albeit different discords and a different dev team - for Lidarr/Radarr/Readarr/Prowlarr for future reference.

Nice catch there, we should be able to fix it. Also thx for the SECURITY.md suggestion, most ppl can find us one way or the other, but having it explicitly in an .md file is a good idea.

@Taloth - great, thanks for the confirmation!

If you think the report is valid, you can mark it on the report page, and the researcher will be awarded their bounty for their research.

Also, you can bag a bounty for fixing it too! 🤗
