Security: uncoalesced/TuringOS

Security

SECURITY.md

Security policy

TuringOS sits between AI agents and your filesystem, so we take security reports seriously.

Supported versions

TuringOS is pre-release. Only the latest main branch receives security fixes.

Version Supported
main Yes
Older commits / forks No

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public issue, discussion, or PR for security problems.

Report it privately through GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:

  1. Go to the repository's Security tab.
  2. Click Report a vulnerability.

In the report, include:

  • The affected component (e.g. sandbox/, core/, bazaar/, ui/, ISO)
  • Steps to reproduce, or a minimal proof of concept
  • The impact: what an attacker or a misbehaving agent can do
  • Your environment (distro, kernel, filesystem, TuringOS commit)

What we especially want to hear about

  • Sandbox escape: an agent writing outside its ephemeral Btrfs snapshot
  • Approval bypass: changes reaching the real project without a reviewed diff and a human approval
  • Policy-layer bypass: agents running commands or reaching paths the policy should block
  • MCP / Clawd Bazaar: malicious or tampered tool servers, unsafe install paths, supply-chain risks
  • Privilege escalation in scripts, services, or the live ISO
  • Secret leakage: API keys or credentials exposed to agents, logs, or the UI

Out of scope

  • Vulnerabilities in upstream projects (Claude Code, Debian, Tauri/WebKitGTK, third-party MCP servers). Report those upstream. If TuringOS makes the problem worse, tell us as well.
  • Problems that need an already-compromised root account
  • Social engineering
