We take the security of Onyx and our users seriously. Thank you for helping keep Onyx and its community safe by practicing responsible disclosure.
Security fixes are applied to the main branch and the latest tagged release.
We strongly recommend running the most recent release of Onyx. Older releases
are not guaranteed to receive backported security patches.
Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, pull requests, or discussions. Public reports give attackers a head start and put other users at risk before a fix is available.
Instead, please use GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting to file a report at https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/security/advisories/new. This creates a private advisory visible only to the maintainers and ensures your report is tracked rather than landing in an individual inbox.
Please include as much of the following as you can — it helps us triage faster:
- A description of the issue and the impact you believe it has.
- The Onyx version, deployment type (self-hosted, Onyx Cloud, Docker, Helm, etc.), and any relevant configuration.
- Step-by-step reproduction instructions or a proof-of-concept.
- Any logs, screenshots, or sample payloads that demonstrate the issue.
- Your name and a way to credit you in the advisory, if desired.
After you report a vulnerability:
- We will work with you to validate the issue and agree on a disclosure timeline. Typical investigations take up to 90 days, though many issues are resolved sooner.
- We will keep you informed of progress and let you know when a fix is released.
- Once a fix is available, we will coordinate public disclosure (release notes, GitHub Security Advisory, and CVE if applicable) and are happy to credit reporters who would like recognition.
In scope:
- The Onyx application code in this repository (backend, web, desktop, CLI, connectors, deployment manifests).
- Official Onyx-published Docker images and Helm charts.
Out of scope:
- Third-party services and integrations (please report those to the respective vendors).
- Findings that require access to a user's account or device, social engineering, or physical attacks.
- Denial-of-service issues caused solely by sending high volumes of traffic.
- Automated scanner output without a demonstrated, exploitable impact.
We will not pursue or support legal action against researchers who:
- Make a good-faith effort to follow this policy.
- Avoid privacy violations, data destruction, or service degradation.
- Give us a reasonable opportunity to remediate before any public disclosure.
Thank you for helping keep Onyx and our community secure.
