Reporting a vulnerability

Please don't open a public issue for a security problem. Report it privately through GitHub instead: open the repository's Security tab and choose Report a vulnerability.

Include what you can of the following:

  • the Upright version (Settings → About) and your macOS version
  • the mouse model and how it's connected (USB cable, Bluetooth, Unifying, Bolt or Nano)
  • what an attacker could do, and the steps to reproduce it
  • a proof of concept, if you have one

You'll get a reply on the advisory. Once a fix is released, the advisory is published with credit to you, unless you'd rather stay anonymous.

Scope

In scope:

  • the Upright app: how it opens Logitech HID devices, posts input events, runs the actions you assign (Open App, Open URL, Run Shortcut) and imports mapping files
  • the build and release workflows in .github/workflows/
  • the website in site/

Out of scope:

  • Gatekeeper's warning on first launch. Release builds are ad-hoc signed and not notarized, as the install guide explains.
  • Problems in macOS, in Logitech firmware or in apps that Upright opens for you.

How Upright limits its reach

  • It only opens Logitech HID interfaces. Keyboards are never opened, so it never reads what you type.
  • It doesn't phone home or collect anything. There's no network code, account or telemetry.
  • Nothing is written to a mouse's memory. Buttons are diverted only while Upright runs.
  • It uses the hardened runtime. It isn't sandboxed, because posting synthetic input and opening HID devices requires that (see Permissions).
