Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security problems.

Report privately via one of:

Include:

  • A description of the issue and its impact
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Affected version(s) (pair-claude --version once available, or commit SHA)
  • Your environment (OS, Go version, Tailscale yes/no)

We'll acknowledge within 5 business days and aim to release a fix within 30 days for confirmed issues.

Threat Model

Pair-Claude is designed for trusted networks — typically a Tailscale tailnet shared between teammates. The trust boundary is your network: anyone who can reach the listening port is treated as authorized to attempt to use a token.

In scope (please report):

  • Token disclosure via timing attacks, log files, or response leaks
  • Authentication bypass on /api/* endpoints
  • Cross-site scripting in the embedded viewer
  • Command injection through input parsing or claude args
  • Memory unsafety in the PTY layer
  • Path traversal in the embedded static-file server
  • Denial of service that affects the host beyond the wrapper itself

Out of scope (by design — see README §Security Model):

  • No TLS. Tailscale provides end-to-end encryption. Running Pair-Claude on a public network without a TLS terminator in front is not a supported configuration.
  • Read-write by default. \share produces a token that allows typing into the live session. This is intentional for pair programming. Use \share --readonly for observers.
  • Shared token, not per-user. All viewers with the URL share the same token. Pair-Claude does not authenticate individual users.
  • 8-hour token lifetime. Tokens persist until expiry, \revoke, or process exit.
  • Trusting the network. If an attacker is already on your tailnet, they are already inside the trust boundary.
