The Haskell Security Advisory Database is a repository of security advisories filed against packages published via Hackage.
This database is still new. If you develop a tool or database that uses its information, please open a PR listing it here.
To report a new vulnerability, open a pull request using the template below. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.
See EXAMPLE_ADVISORY.md for a template.
Advisories are formatted in Markdown with machine-readable TOML "front matter".
Below is the schema of the TOML "front matter" section of an advisory. If you base your advisory on this explanation rather than on EXAMPLE_ADVISORY.md, please remember to remove the explanatory comments for each field.
[advisory]
# Identifier for the advisory (mandatory). Will be assigned a "HSEC-YYYY-NNNN"
# identifier e.g. HSEC-2022-0001. Please use "HSEC-0000-0000" in PRs.
id = "HSEC-0000-0000"
# Publication date of the advisory as an RFC 3339 date.
# DO NOT INCLUDE THIS in files committed to Git.
# It will be derived from the Git commit history.
date = 2021-01-31
# Optional: Classification of the advisory with respect to the Common Weakness Enumeration.
cwe = [820]
# Optional: Classification of the advisory with respect to the Common Attack Pattern Enumerations and Classifications.
capec = [123]
# Arbitrary keywords. We recommend to include keywords relating
# to the protocols, data formats or services pertaining to the
# affected package (e.g. "json", "tls", "aws"). You can also
# include keywords describing the vulnerability or impact (e.g.
# "dos", "sqli" "csrf"). Just think, "what keywords would I use
# if I was searching for issues affecting this package, or a
# particular class of vulnerabilities?"
keywords = ["ssl", "mitm"]
# Vulnerability aliases, e.g. CVE IDs (optional but recommended)
# Request a CVE for your HSec vulns: https://iwantacve.org/
#aliases = ["CVE-2018-XXXX"]
# Related vulnerabilities (optional)
# e.g. CVE for a C library wrapped by a Haskell library
#related = ["CVE-2018-YYYY", "CVE-2018-ZZZZ"]
# References to articles, issues/PRs, etc. Recognised types:
# ADVISORY, ARTICLE, DETECTION, DISCUSSION, REPORT,
# FIX, INTRODUCED, PACKAGE, EVIDENCE, WEB
[[references]]
type = "REPORT"
url = "https://github.com/username/package/issues/123"
[[references]]
type = "FIX"
url = "https://github.com/username/package/pull/139"
# Affected package(s). You can declare one or more packages.
# Sub-fields are `package`, `cvss`, `arch`, `os`, `declarations`
# and the `versions` table.
[[affected]]
# Mandatory: name of the affected package on Hackage
package = "acme-broken"
# Mandatory: a Common Vulnerability Scoring System score. More information
# can be found on the CVSS website, https://www.first.org/cvss/.
# The committee will assist advisory authors in constructing an appropriate CVSS if necessary.
cvss = "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"
# Optional: CPU architectures impacted by this vulnerability
# Only use this if the vulnerability is specific to a particular CPU architecture,
# e.g. the vulnerability is in x86 assembly.
# For a list of CPU architecture strings, see the documentation for System.Info.arch:
# <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.16.1.0/docs/System-Info.html>
#arch = ["x86", "x86_64"]
# Optional: Operating systems impacted by this vulnerability
# Only use this if the vulnerable is specific to a particular OS, e.g. it was
# located in a binding to a Windows-specific API.
# For a list of OS strings, see the documentation for System.Info.os:
# <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.16.1.0/docs/System-Info.html>
#os = ["mingw32"]
# Optional: Table of canonical paths to vulnerable declarations in the package
# that describes which versions impacted by this advisory used that particular
# name (e.g. if an affected function or datatype was renamed between versions).
# The path syntax is the module import path, without any type signatures or
# additional information, followed by the affected versions.
#declarations = { "Acme.Broken.function" = ">= 1.1.0 && < 1.2.0", "Acme.Broken.renamedFunction" = ">= 1.2.0 && < 1.2.0.5"}
# Versions affected by the vulnerability.
#
# The `fixed` field is optional. You can specify multiple ranges
# (for example, if the issue was introduced in multiple releases
# series). In the case of multiple ranges, use `fixed` to "close"
# a range, even when the release series does not actually have a
# fix. For example, if an issue was introduced in 1.0.8 and 1.1.2
# (but 1.1 is unaffected), and a fix has not been released for the
# 1.0.x series, specify:
[[affected.versions]]
introduced = "1.0.8"
fixed = "1.1"
[[affected.versions]]
introduced = "1.1.2"The above TOML "front matter" is followed by the long description in Markdown format.
