BTCPay had to cut off remote Lightning access this week because LND macaroons were reachable and real funds moved. The part nobody writes up: for a lot of the ecosystem there is no working address to send that kind of report to in the first place.
So I checked. 60 open-source Bitcoin, Lightning, wallet, firmware, ecash and Nostr repos, every one of the five standard locations a reporter looks at first - SECURITY.md, .github/SECURITY.md, docs/SECURITY.md, security.md, SECURITY.rst.
36 publish a policy. 24 publish nothing at any of them.
The 24 with no route anywhere, free, check any of them with one curl:
ACINQ/phoenix, trezor/trezor-firmware, LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new, muun/apollo, breez/breez-sdk-greenlight, hoytech/strfry, fiatjaf/khatru, coracle-social/coracle, bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib, romanz/electrs, cculianu/Fulcrum, Blockstream/gdk, lightninglabs/taproot-assets, getumbrel/umbrel, mempool/mempool, Ride-The-Lightning/RTL, alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis, bitcoin-core/HWI, monero-project/monero, MetaMask/metamask-extension, safe-global/safe-smart-account, rainbow-me/rainbow, status-im/status-mobile, Uniswap/v3-core
Three that publish a route which is broken:
- OpenZeppelin SECURITY.md publishes [email protected]. That is the placeholder from the template. Real route is Immunefi.
- WalletWasabi points you at org 'WalletWasasbi' - transposed s, 404 - and lists no security email at all.
- solana-labs/solana is archived and development moved to anza-xyz/agave, but its SECURITY.md still catches reports aimed at the obvious repo.
Two that a root-only scraper misses: damus publishes at docs/SECURITY.md, Boltz at a lowercase security.md.
That list above is yours. Repost it, quote it, write it up, I do not care - it is checkable and it is more useful in the open.
What I sell is the other half: the 36 that DO have a policy, compiled - reporting channel, exact address or advisory URL, PGP fingerprints where published, stated scope and out-of-scope, and acknowledgement SLA where the project commits to one. btcpayserver acks in 2 business days and requires a specific report template. anza-xyz/agave typically 72h. cardano-node 48h. Blockstream states a week to investigate, up to 90 days to fix.
