If you discover a security vulnerability in CrawlObserver, do not open a public issue.
Email security@crawlobserver.com with:
- Description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce
- Affected version(s) and configuration
- Impact assessment (if you have one)
We will acknowledge your report within 48 hours and aim to provide a fix or mitigation within 7 days for critical issues.
- SQL/command injection
- SSRF bypasses (private IP access, DNS rebinding)
- Authentication or authorization flaws
- Sensitive data exposure (credentials, tokens in logs or responses)
- Path traversal or arbitrary file access
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) in the web UI
- Denial of service via large crawls (that's a configuration issue, not a vulnerability)
- Missing rate limiting on localhost-only endpoints
- Issues requiring physical access to the machine running CrawlObserver
- Vulnerabilities in ClickHouse itself (report those upstream)
We follow coordinated disclosure. We'll work with you on a timeline and credit you in the release notes (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
We do not offer a bug bounty program at this time.
