SECURITY.md

Security

Grub deletes files, asks for Full Disk Access and runs admin steps through sudo, so security reports matter a lot.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please don't open a public issue. Report it privately through GitHub: Report a vulnerability.

Include what you found, how to reproduce it and the Grub version. You should hear back within a few days. Once it's fixed, the advisory is published and you're credited unless you'd rather not be.

Supported versions

Only the latest release gets fixes. Grub updates itself, so most people are on it already.

What Grub does with sensitive data

  • Your admin password is passed straight to sudo and is never stored or logged.
  • Grub has no account, no analytics and no tracking. Its only network calls are update checks (GitHub Releases through update.electronjs.org) and Homebrew, for the Updates page. The Mole inside Grub is changed so it never checks for updates itself.
  • Releases are signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
