Report a vulnerability
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in the Steroid CLI, its install scripts or steroidkit.com, email [email protected]. Please report it privately first rather than in a public issue or post, so we can fix it before it is widely known.
What to include
- What the issue is and what an attacker could do with it.
- Steps to reproduce it, or a proof of concept.
- The affected version — run
steroid --version— and your operating system, or the URL if it concerns the website. - How you would like to be credited, if at all.
Please do not
- Access, change or delete data that is not yours.
- Run tests that degrade the service for other people, such as load or denial-of-service tests.
- Use social engineering against us or our users.
Check the installer before you run it
The install command downloads and runs a script from the public steroidkit/releases repository on GitHub. You can read it first: install.sh for macOS and Linux, and install.ps1 for Windows.
