reporting a vulnerability

2018-08-30 23:15

How should a vulnerability in WinSCP be reported?

I would want to keep embargo on the issue while the authors triage the issue, so posting it to this forum likely isn't a good idea.

Any chance this is being backported to 5.13?

@MrPippin: I'll consider it.
But to be honest, this is such a negligible problem.
Are you not trusting your server?
And are you actually using SCP protocol at all?

The primary reason I ask is that version 14 is still considered a release candidate, and this is a product deployed widely in our organization. We can’t speak to what sites are users are connecting, or trusted.

Any update if this could possibly be released in 5.13?

@slfields: I have fixed the problem in the 5.13 branch. WinSCP 5.13.8 will probably be released the next week.
