In scope — these are security vulnerabilities:
- Detection bypass: A command or URL that should trigger a rule but doesn't (false negative in a security-critical path)
- Shell injection via hooks: Tirith's shell hooks introducing command injection vectors
- Audit log tampering: Ability to suppress or forge audit log entries
- Policy bypass: Circumventing blocklist/allowlist enforcement
- Information disclosure: Tirith leaking sensitive data beyond the local audit log
Not in scope:
- False positives (non-malicious commands flagged) — file a regular bug report
- Detection of novel attack techniques not covered by existing rules — file a feature request
- Issues requiring local root/admin access — tirith does not defend against privileged local attackers
Tirith processes commands and pasted text entirely locally. During check and paste:
- No network calls are made
- No data leaves your machine
- Analysis results are written to a local JSONL audit log only
- Full command text is redacted in logs (first 80 chars, truncated)
The audit log lives at ~/.local/share/tirith/audit.jsonl (or platform equivalent). Disable with TIRITH_LOG=0.
Tirith has no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting, no phone-home behavior.
Release artifacts are built via GitHub Actions with:
