Where to report

The one public program Sequoia PGP 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

8 targets. 5 excluded.

  • Certificate handling: canonicalisation, subkey and user-ID binding signatures, expiry and revocation, and the answer the library gives a caller about which key is valid for what

    Products and areas

  • Encryption and decryption, session key handling, and the symmetric and public-key algorithm implementations behind them

    Products and areas

  • Secret key material: parsing, passphrase protection and the memory handling around it, plus the pluggable crypto backends the crate can be built against

    Products and areas

  • Signature verification and the policy layer above it, which decides which algorithms, key sizes and signature types the library still treats as acceptable

    Products and areas

  • The packet layer: parsing and serialisation of OpenPGP packets, messages, signatures and certificates arriving from a sender the caller does not control

    Products and areas

  • The program is named for Sequoia PGP and prices a single severity ladder with no asset split, so the LGPL-2.0-or-later codebase is the whole of it: EUR 10,000 at critical down to EUR 500 at low

    Products and areas

  • The sq command-line front end and the other tooling built on the library, which is how most people actually run this code

    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 in an application that uses the library rather than in Sequoia's own code, which belong with that project

  • Defects that actually live in a third-party Rust crate the project depends on, which belong upstream with that crate

  • Findings the program grades below Low, since the recorded ladder stops at EUR 500 and prices nothing beneath it

  • Reports from anyone unwilling or unable to complete identity verification, since KYC is recorded as a condition of payment for this program

  • The project's own security page at sequoia-pgp.org/security/ returns 404, so there is no upstream-published exclusion list to fall back on either

  • CVE-2026-2625 Medium

    A flaw was found in rust-rpm-sequoia. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) file. During the RPM signature verification process, this crafted file can trigger an error in the OpenPGP signature parsing code, leading to an unconditional termination of the rpm process. This issue results in an application level denial of service, mak

  • The buffered-reader crate before 1.1.5 for Rust allows out-of-bounds array access and a panic.

  • The sequoia-openpgp crate before 1.16.0 for Rust allows out-of-bounds array access and a panic.

  • The sequoia-openpgp crate 1.13.0 before 1.21.0 for Rust allows an infinite loop of "Reading a cert: Invalid operation: Not a Key packet" messages for RawCertParser operations that encounter an unsupported primary key type.

This page gathers every public program listed under sequoia-pgp.org: platform programs, self-hosted policies and security.txt contacts. Each program's own policy decides what is in scope and what it pays; check it before you test.
