Email zachary@ambroslabs.io with the details. Please do not file public GitHub issues for security reports.
We aim to acknowledge new reports within two business days and to patch confirmed vulnerabilities in coordination with the reporter before any public disclosure.
- Anything in this repository.
- The on-disk artifacts malcom produces (snapshot dirs, application.db, bootstrap output).
- Bugs in cosmos-sdk, cometbft, pebble, or other upstream dependencies. Report those to the relevant project.
- Denial-of-service requiring an attacker-controlled snapshot served
via the standard cometbft state-sync protocol — see
THREAT-MODEL.md for the trust boundary; malcom
treats unverified P2P snapshots as adversarial input and the
defenses live in
malcom snapshot fetch's per-chunk hashing and inmalcom verify.
