## Reporting a Vulnerability
|
|
|
|
We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability within Vocalinux, please follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
### Do NOT
|
|
|
|
- Open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
|
|
- Disclose the vulnerability publicly before it's fixed
|
|
|
|
### Do
|
|
|
|
1. **Email the maintainer directly**: Send an email to jatinkrmalik@gmail.com with:
|
|
- A clear description of the vulnerability
|
|
- Steps to reproduce the issue
|
|
- Potential impact assessment
|
|
- Any suggested fixes (optional)
|
|
|
|
2. **Use the subject line**: "Vocalinux Security Vulnerability Report"
|
|
|
|
3. **Wait for acknowledgment**: You should receive a response within 48 hours
|
|
|
|
### What to Expect
|
|
|
|
1. **Acknowledgment**: We'll confirm receipt within 48 hours
|
|
2. **Assessment**: We'll evaluate the severity and impact
|
|
3. **Timeline**: We'll provide an estimated fix timeline
|
|
4. **Fix**: We'll work on a fix and coordinate disclosure
|
|
5. **Credit**: If desired, we'll credit you in the release notes
|
|
|
|
## Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
### Privacy
|
|
|
|
Vocalinux is designed with privacy in mind:
|
|
|
|
- **Offline by default**: whisper.cpp (default), Whisper, and VOSK engines all work completely offline
|
|
- **Local processing**: All speech recognition happens on your device
|
|
- **No data collection**: We don't collect or transmit your voice data
|
|
- **No telemetry**: We don't track usage or behavior
|
|
|
|
### whisper.cpp (Default Engine)
|
|
|
|
whisper.cpp is the default speech recognition engine:
|
|
- High-performance C++ implementation
|
|
- Processes completely locally on your machine
|
|
- Models are downloaded once and cached locally
|
|
- No audio data is sent to external servers
|
|
- Supports Vulkan GPU acceleration for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs
|
|
|
|
### Whisper AI (OpenAI)
|
|
|
|
OpenAI's Whisper is also available as an alternative:
|
|
- PyTorch-based implementation
|
|
- Processes locally on your machine
|
|
- Models are downloaded once and cached locally
|
|
- No audio data is sent to external servers
|
|
|
|
### File Permissions
|
|
|
|
The application stores data in:
|
|
- `~/.config/vocalinux/` - Configuration (mode 700)
|
|
- `~/.local/share/vocalinux/` - Data and models (mode 700)
|
|
|
|
### Known Limitations
|
|
|
|
1. **Text injection**: Uses xdotool/wtype which may have implications for input monitoring
|
|
2. **Keyboard shortcuts**: Global keyboard hooks require appropriate permissions
|
|
3. **Virtual environments**: Running in a venv provides some isolation
|
|
|
|
## Updates
|
|
|
|
Keep your installation updated to receive security fixes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd vocalinux
|
|
git pull origin main
|
|
pip install --upgrade -e .
|
|
```
