Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public issue for a security vulnerability.

Use a private GitHub security advisory for this repository when available. Include:

  • A clear description of the issue.
  • Reproduction steps using temporary or synthetic files.
  • The affected macOS and Tilly versions.
  • The potential impact.

Do not include personal filenames, account names, private paths, or application data in reports.

Security boundaries

Tilly is designed to be conservative:

  • It moves files to Trash instead of permanently deleting them.
  • It validates paths before deletion.
  • It protects critical filesystem roots.
  • It avoids privileged shell commands.
  • It does not send filesystem paths or scan results over the network.
  • Shared group containers are not selected automatically.
  • Protected locations are inspected only when needed for the selected application.

If a discovery result appears unrelated, do not delete it. Report the path and association type using a synthetic example where possible.
