Security Policy

Reporting a vulnerability

If you find a security issue in ProcessMonitor, please do not open a public issue.

Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting: 👉 Report a vulnerability

I'll acknowledge the report within a few days and work on a fix. Once resolved, the vulnerability and fix will be publicly disclosed.

What counts as a security issue

  • The monitor script executing unintended code
  • Log files capturing or exposing sensitive data they shouldn't
  • The PID file or settings file being writable in a way that allows privilege escalation
  • Any way a malicious process name or exit code could cause unintended behaviour

What doesn't count

  • The monitor requires PowerShell execution policy to be set — this is by design and expected
  • The log folder being readable by other local users — logs contain process names and exit codes only, no personal data
  • General Windows security issues unrelated to this tool
