Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in Windk, please open an issue in this repository.

Please include:

  • A description of the vulnerability and its potential impact
  • Steps to reproduce, including any relevant windk.cfg contents (redacted of anything sensitive) or command invocations
  • The environment it was found in (Windows version, cmd.exe version)
  • Any suggested remediation, if known

Response Process

  • We aim to acknowledge new reports within a few business days.
  • We'll work with you to understand and validate the issue.
  • A fix will be prioritized based on severity, and credit will be given to the reporter (unless anonymity is requested) once a fix is released.

Scope & Known Considerations

Windk executes as cmd.exe batch scripts and resolves configuration and subcommand targets dynamically at runtime. Areas of particular security interest include:

  • Config injection — malformed or malicious entries in windk.cfg (e.g. crafted @: alias pointers or path values) that could cause unintended path resolution or command execution.
  • Path traversal — relative path expansion (.\, ..\) resolving outside intended directories.
  • Subcommand trustlib/ executables are invoked via CALL with forwarded arguments; care should be taken that argument forwarding doesn't allow unintended flag/argument injection into subcommands.
  • Environment variable pollution — cross-scope handshakes (SETVAR) between the router and config engine should not leak or overwrite unrelated environment state.

If your report touches on any of the above, please flag it explicitly — it helps us triage faster.

Thank you for helping keep Windk and its users secure.
