# Coder Security
Coder welcomes feedback from security researchers and the general public
to help improve our security. If you believe you have discovered a vulnerability,
privacy issue, exposed data, or other security issues in any of our assets, we
want to hear from you. This policy outlines steps for reporting vulnerabilities
to us, what we expect, what you can expect from us.
You can see the pretty version [here](https://coder.com/security/policy)
# Why Coder's security matters
If an attacker could fully compromise a Coder installation, they could spin
up expensive workstations, steal valuable credentials, or steal proprietary
source code. We take this risk very seriously and employ routine pen testing,
vulnerability scanning, and code reviews. We also welcome the contributions
from the community that helped make this product possible.
# Where should I report security issues?
Please report security issues to security@coder.com, providing
all relevant information. The more details you provide, the easier it will be
for us to triage and fix the issue.
# Out of Scope
Our primary concern is around an abuse of the Coder application that allows
an attacker to gain access to another users workspace, or spin up unwanted
workspaces.
- DOS/DDOS attacks affecting availability --> While we do support rate limiting
of requests, we primarily leave this to the owner of the Coder installation. Our
rationale is that a DOS attack only affecting availability is not a valuable
target for attackers.
- Abuse of a compromised user credential --> If a user credential is compromised
outside of the Coder ecosystem, then we consider it beyond the scope of our application.
However, if an unprivileged user could escalate their permissions or gain access
to another workspace, that is a cause for concern.
- Vulnerabilities in third party systems --> Vulnerabilities discovered in
out-of-scope systems should be reported to the appropriate vendor or applicable authority.
# Our Commitments
When working with us, according to this policy, you can expect us to:
- Respond to your report promptly, and work with you to understand and validate your report;
- Strive to keep you informed about the progress of a vulnerability as it is processed;
- Work to remediate discovered vulnerabilities in a timely manner, within our operational constraints; and
- Extend Safe Harbor for your vulnerability research that is related to this policy.
# Our Expectations
In participating in our vulnerability disclosure program in good faith, we ask that you:
- Play by the rules, including following this policy and any other relevant agreements.
If there is any inconsistency between this policy and any other applicable terms, the
terms of this policy will prevail;
- Report any vulnerability youve discovered promptly;
- Avoid violating the privacy of others, disrupting our systems, destroying data, and/or
harming user experience;
- Use only the Official Channels to discuss vulnerability information with us;
- Provide us a reasonable amount of time (at least 90 days from the initial report) to
resolve the issue before you disclose it publicly;
- Perform testing only on in-scope systems, and respect systems and activities which
are out-of-scope;
- If a vulnerability provides unintended access to data: Limit the amount of data you
access to the minimum required for effectively demonstrating a Proof of Concept; and
cease testing and submit a report immediately if you encounter any user data during testing,
such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Personal Healthcare Information (PHI),
credit card data, or proprietary information;
- You should only interact with test accounts you own or with explicit permission from
- the account holder; and
- Do not engage in extortion.
