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

- Go to the repository → Security → Report a vulnerability
- Describe the issue, steps to reproduce, and potential impact
We aim to respond within 72 hours.
In scope:
- Unauthorized file deletion outside user intent
- Path traversal allowing deletion outside selected paths
- Command injection via API parameters
- Privilege escalation beyond documented admin prompts
Out of scope:
- macOS permission model limitations (Full Disk Access is required by design)
- User error when confirming permanent delete
- Issues in third-party dependencies (report upstream, but tell us too)
- BloomDisk runs locally only — no data is sent to the cloud.
- Protected system paths (
/,/System,/Applications, your home root) cannot be deleted via the API. - Always review items before permanent deletion.
