What to include in your report

Please include as much of the following information as possible to help us understand and reproduce the issue:

  • Type of vulnerability (e.g., code injection, arbitrary file read, etc.)
  • Full paths of the source file(s) related to the issue
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the vulnerability
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the vulnerability and how it might be exploited

What to expect

  • We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 5 business days.
  • We will investigate and provide an initial assessment within 10 business days.
  • We will notify you when the vulnerability has been fixed.

Security Considerations

This package is a scientific/engineering library for PV irradiance modeling. It:

  • Does not handle user authentication or authorization
  • Does not store or transmit sensitive user data
  • Processes numerical simulation inputs provided by the user

Users should exercise caution when loading simulation data from untrusted sources, as malformed inputs could potentially cause unexpected behavior.

Disclosure Policy

We follow responsible disclosure. Once a fix is available, we will:

  1. Release a patched version
  2. Publish a security advisory on GitHub
  3. Update the changelog with details of the fix

There aren't any published security advisories
