What the app can do to a machine

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.

Reporting a vulnerability

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.

Out of scope

  • 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.
