QuickRapidX is in active development, so only the latest release gets fixes. There are no long-lived branches and no back-porting.
| Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| 0.5.x | ✅ |
| < 0.5 | ❌ |
Worth knowing before you report — and before you build from source. QuickRapidX touches the system in ways an ordinary program does not:
- writes to
HKCU— Recycle Bin limits, accessibility hotkey prompts, autostart; - asks for administrator rights for component store repair, hibernation and the
removal of
Windows.old; - takes ownership of files and rewrites their permissions when deleting
Windows.old; - launches other programs, including with cut-down rights through AppContainer, Windows Sandbox and Sandboxie;
- creates shortcuts and pins them to the taskbar and the Start menu.
Isolation as a whole is experimental. Treat it as a convenience, not as a security boundary: it narrows what a program can reach, it does not contain a program that actively tries to escape.
Report privately, not through a public issue.
- GitHub Security Advisories — the Security tab of this repository. Preferred: the report stays private until a fix ships.
Please include the version, the Windows build, what you did, what happened, and what you expected. A crash log or the exact registry path helps more than a screenshot.
What to expect. A first reply within seven days. If the report is accepted, you will hear when a fix is planned and when it ships, and you will be credited in the changelog unless you ask otherwise. If it is declined, you will be told why — silence is not an answer we give.
- Anything requiring an attacker who already has administrator rights on the machine: at that point the game is already over, with or without this app.
- Escaping from isolation. See above — it is not a security boundary and does not claim to be.
- Vulnerabilities in Windows itself, in Sandboxie, or in programs launched through QuickRapidX. Report those to their authors.
