Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature: 👉 https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/security

This allows vulnerabilities to be triaged and addressed confidentially before any public disclosure.

Scope

HTTP / TLS / Network vulnerabilities

yq is a command-line YAML/JSON/TOML processor that reads from files or standard input and writes to standard output. yq does not include any HTTP or network libraries and makes no network connections at runtime. CVEs related to HTTP, TLS, or networking are therefore not applicable to yq.

Dependency version bumps

yq uses Dependabot to automatically raise pull requests for:

  • Go module dependencies
  • Go toolchain version
  • Docker base images

Please do not raise pull requests or issues solely to bump dependency or Go versions — Dependabot handles this automatically and the maintainers merge those PRs regularly.
