Supported versions

Version Supported
v3.8.0-rc.1 and later pre-releases on develop Yes
v3.7 / legacy Java agent / iofog-agent paths No

This repository builds two CLI flavors from one tree: iofogctl (Eclipse upstream) and potctl (Datasance). Security support applies to both at the same tagged versions.

Reporting a vulnerability

If you believe you have found a security issue in iofogctl or potctl:

  1. Do not open a public GitHub issue for exploitable vulnerabilities.
  2. Email security@datasance.com with:
    • A description of the issue and impact
    • Steps to reproduce (proof-of-concept if available)
    • Affected version / commit, CLI flavor (iofogctl or potctl), and platform
  3. We aim to acknowledge reports within 5 business days and provide a remediation timeline when confirmed.

For non-security bugs, use the public issue tracker or CONTRIBUTING.

Security gates (maintainers)

Before release tags, run:

make security-code   # gosec on ./cmd ./internal ./pkg
make vulncheck       # govulncheck@v1.1.4 + go mod verify

Build tags

Build, test, goreleaser, and govulncheck share the same Go build tags via GOTAGS in the Makefile (default: containers_image_openpgp,exclude_graphdriver_btrfs). This keeps vulnerability scanning aligned with how binaries are compiled without requiring optional cgo dependencies (libgpgme-dev, libbtrfs-dev) on CI.

Known vulnerability exceptions

GO ID CVE Component Rationale Fix timeline
(none)

No documented exceptions at launch. make vulncheck must pass with zero findings affecting CLI call paths.

Exception policy

New exceptions require:

  1. Entry in the table above (GO ID, CVE if any, component, rationale, fix timeline).
  2. Matching ID in scripts/vulncheck.sh ALLOWED_VULNS.
  3. Brief note under Known limitations in CHANGELOG.md at next release.

Undocumented findings fail make vulncheck and CI.
