Reporting a vulnerability

Please report suspected vulnerabilities through GitHub private vulnerability reporting for this repository. Do not include credentials, private network details, or camera images in a public issue.

Deployment model

Vixel is experimental and assumes a trusted robot or sensor computer:

  • The web gateway has no built-in authentication and binds to 127.0.0.1 by default. Access it through SSH or an authenticated reverse proxy.
  • ROS 2 graph access is not secured by Vixel. Use SROS 2 and network isolation when untrusted hosts can reach the ROS domain.
  • vixel-network-setup changes NetworkManager profiles, sysctls, and NIC tuning. Run its dry-run first and grant root access only to reviewed configuration.
  • Only mark dedicated sensor networks as approved. Discovery on other interfaces is informational and must never trigger provisioning.

No released version currently receives long-term security support. Security fixes will be documented in the changelog and GitHub releases.
