Thank you for helping us keep Local Operator UI secure. Local Operator UI strives to be a secure Electron-based desktop application for interacting with the Local Operator agent environment. Your vigilance in reporting any potential security vulnerabilities is essential to maintaining a trustworthy and robust system. This policy outlines how to report issues and how we address them.
It is recommended to use the latest version of the Local Operator UI application. The latest version can be found on our GitHub releases page.
Local Operator UI is built with:
- Electron
- React
- TypeScript
- Material UI
And is maintained with strict security practices including:
- Regular dependency updates and scanning
- Automated linting and formatting with Biome
- Type checking with TypeScript
- Comprehensive testing with Jest
Security updates and patches will be released for all actively maintained versions.
Local Operator UI implements a security-focused architecture with emphasis on local operation:
-
Local-First Architecture:
The UI and backend run locally on the u 4BE9 ser's device, minimizing exposure to external threats. This local-first approach ensures that sensitive operations remain contained within the user's environment. -
On-Device Credential Management:
All credentials and secrets are stored and transmitted only on the user's device, never leaving their system. This eliminates the risk of credential exposure through network transmission. -
Backend Security Validation:
The backend performs rigorous security validations where a separate conversation with the LLM is engaged to check code before execution. This provides an additional layer of security review independent from the primary agent. -
User Confirmation for Sensitive Operations:
The UI requires explicit user confirmation for operations that might impact system security or stability. -
Electron Security Hardening:
The application follows Electron security best practices to prevent common vulnerabilities in desktop applications. -
Continuous Integration Security Checks:
Our CI pipeline includes linting, type checking, and testing to catch issues early and to enforce secure coding practices. Security features are always included in the test suites.
If you identify a security-related vulnerability or security incident in Local Operator UI, we invite you to report the vulnerability privately and create a GitHub Security Advisory on our repository. Your advisory helps us quickly address potential risks and informs the community about the issue. When creating the advisory, please include:
-
Detailed Description:
Provide a clear explanation of the vulnerability or security incident, including any relevant context that can help us understand its nature. -
Reproduction Steps:
List the steps to reproduce the problem, including any code snippets, logs, screenshots, or other pertinent details. -
Impact Assessment:
Describe the potential impact, including what systems or data might be affected and any associated risks to end users. -
Additional Information:
If applicable, include any mitigating factors, suggested fixes, or further observations that could assist in resolving the issue. Optionally, provide your contact information for follow-up questions.
Please ensure that sensitive details are managed securely. You can update your advisory with additional information as necessary. Our security team will review your submission promptly and work toward a timely resolution.
We follow responsible disclosure practices. Once a vulnerability or incident is confirmed and addressed, we will:
- Publish a public security advisory on GitHub detailing the issue, affected versions, and upgrade instructions.
- Provide a timeline for the release of patches or fixes.
