Reporting a Vulnerability

We take the security of Dazzlelink seriously. Although this is a local tool, we encourage responsible disclosure of any issues that may affect the safety or privacy of its users.

To report a vulnerability:

  1. Do not publicly disclose the issue
  2. Email the project maintainer with as much detail as possible:
    • Reproduction steps
    • System details
    • Potential impact
  3. Allow up to 48 hours for an initial response
  4. Coordinate disclosure – We aim to patch issues quickly and responsibly, and will work with you to manage coordinated disclosure if needed.

Security Considerations for Local Usage

Since Dazzlelink is primarily a local filesystem tool, please consider the following when using or contributing to the project:

Symbolic Link Handling

  • Be cautious when processing untrusted paths that may point to critical system files
  • Avoid running the script with elevated privileges unnecessarily

File Access Permissions

  • Ensure files written or copied maintain appropriate user/group permissions
  • If logging is enabled, verify logs do not capture sensitive paths or data

Third-Party Libraries

  • Keep pywin32 and other dependencies updated
  • Audit the contents of requirements.txt regularly for CVEs

Best Practices

  1. Keep your system and Python environment up to date
  2. Avoid running the tool with administrative or sudo privileges unless absolutely necessary
  3. Use virtualenv or venv to isolate your environment
  4. Review code and dependencies before running in sensitive environments
  5. Report any questionable behavior or access patterns you observe

Thank you for helping ensure Dazzlelink remains a secure and dependable tool!
