dotfiles-Alpine ships configuration plus one provisioning script. The config is
inert; bootstrap.sh is not — it runs with doas/sudo, installs packages, adds a
third-party apk repository, and writes to /etc/. That makes a narrow but real
security surface, and it is the part worth reporting on.
Two classes of issue warrant a security report rather than a normal issue:
- A tracked file that leaks a secret. This repo is public and tracks
ssh/config(keys themselves are denied by.gitignore). A leaked token or private key here is public the moment it lands. - A path in
bootstrap.shthat can be coerced into running or trusting untrusted input — in particular anything touching/etc/apk/keys,/etc/apk/repositories,/etc/wsl.conf, or the login shell. The 1Password signing key is pinned by SHA-256 and the script fails closed on a mismatch; a way around that check is a valid report.
Note that the vendored core/ tree is not in scope here — it is a git subtree
copy of dotfiles-core and is
overwritten on the next sync. Report those upstream, where a fix can actually land.
Please do not open a public issue for a security report. Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting: the Security tab → Report a vulnerability. That keeps details private until a fix is out.
Include, where you can:
- the file and line, and whether it runs at provision time or shell-startup time,
- how it is reached (a
bootstrap.shflag, a sourced fragment, a WSL-only branch), and - a minimal reproduction.
You can expect an acknowledgement within a few days.
In scope: bootstrap.sh, install/packages.txt, os/*, zsh/*, ssh/config,
wsl/wsl.conf, and this repo's workflows.
Out of scope: anything under core/ (report to dotfiles-core), and the upstream
tools this layer installs — report those to their own projects.
