Where to report

The one public program Fluent Bit runs.

Amounts are the top reward per severity in the currency each program pays. First response is the platform's measured average when it publishes one, else what the policy promises.

What is in scope

9 targets. 5 excluded.

  • https://fluentbit.io

    Web

  • Every input plugin the project ships rather than only the ones with a CVE, tail, forward, http, syslog, tcp and opentelemetry among them

    Products and areas

  • Every output plugin and its serialisation path, together with the TLS layer that carries records to the central backend and the credentials it holds

    Products and areas

  • MessagePack encoding and decoding, Fluent Bit's internal record format, through which every record passes whichever plugin produced it

    Products and areas

  • The C core: the event loop, the memory and chunk management layer, the scheduler and the configuration parser

    Products and areas

  • The HTTP monitoring and hot-reload interfaces the daemon exposes to an operator

    Products and areas

  • The parsers as a family: regex, JSON, LTSV, logfmt and the multiline engine, which is what OSS-Fuzz actually targets

    Products and areas

  • The project takes reports at [email protected] and through GitHub advisory reporting, and commits to acknowledging within 72 hours. What is covered is github.com/fluent/fluent-bit in full, with nothing narrower carved out

    Products and areas

  • The whole filter set, including the Kubernetes metadata filter that enriches records with cluster state

    Products and areas

No target matches. Try part of a host name, such as the company name.

Out of scope 5

Don't test these. A program can exclude a host another program covers; the program you report to decides.

  • Defects that live in a vendored third-party library rather than in Fluent Bit's own code, since coverage follows the repository and every project is a separate OSS-Fuzz entry

  • Fluentd (fluent/fluentd), which has no OSS-Fuzz integration and therefore no patch pathway at all, and whose own policy separately carves out in_debug_agent eval, record_transformer with enable_ruby, and ReDoS on Ruby 3.2 and below

  • One-line fixes for non-exploitable crashes and resource-exhaustion denial of service, which the Patch Rewards rules exclude by name and which describe most of this project's fuzzing output

  • Patches outside the one-to-twelve-month age window the rules impose

  • The Chronosphere and Calyptia commercial distributions, which are vendor products rather than this repository
