Scope
13 assets you may test, 7 excluded.
Domains 13
- argon2id.ts
- format-v1.md
- header.ts
- shieldfive.com
- the following code and specifications, at the latest published version of @shieldfive/crypto on npm, or any version still readable from a production deployment of shieldfive.com: No bounty
- the format header parser in src/format/header.ts No bounty
- the four cipher suites: aes-256-gcm-v1 (suite 0x01), xchacha20-poly1305-v1 (0x02), pq-hybrid-xchacha-mlkem1024-v1 (0x03), and the read-only legacy aes-gcm-v0 reader No bounty
- the hkdf-sha-256 and hmac-sha-256 primitives in src/internal/ No bounty
- the identity and sharing module in src/identity/ No bounty
- the kdf wrapper in src/kdf/argon2id.ts No bounty
- the threat model claims in spec/threat-model.md — if you can falsify a specific claim from that document, we want to know No bounty
- the v1 wire format as specified in spec/format-v1.md No bounty
- threat-model.md
Out of scope (7)
- denial-of-service against the public website or against npm registry endpoints
- side-channel attacks against the underlying browser subtlecrypto runtime, the user's cpu microarchitecture, or libsodium's wasm build. these are documented as out-of-scope in spec/threat-model.md
- theoretical attacks on the underlying primitives (aes, chacha20, ml-kem-1024, sha-256, argon2id) at the construction level — these belong in the academic literature
- these are not eligible for bounty under this program. reports of these will be acknowledged and read, but will not be paid
- the shieldfive.com web application, infrastructure, or any service shieldfive operates other than the crypto library. the web application is not yet open-source and is not yet eligible for a public bounty; we plan to extend the program after the web application has been independently audited
- vulnerabilities in dependencies (@noble/post-quantum, libsodium-wrappers-sumo, node.js, browsers, v8, jsc, webkit) — please report those upstream
- vulnerabilities that require an attacker to already control the user's device (malware, malicious browser extensions, keyloggers)
