Reporting a vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in SimpleRSS, please report it responsibly.

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, use one of these channels:

Please include:

  • A description of the vulnerability

You should receive a response within a reasonable timeframe. We will work with you to understand and address the issue before any public disclosure.

Security considerations

SimpleRSS fetches and parses untrusted XML from remote URLs. When using the library:

  • Feed XML is parsed with DTD processing disabled and XML size limits applied.
  • HTTP responses are limited by MaxResponseBytes before parsing.
  • Use HTTPS feed URLs where possible.
  • Sanitize feed HTML content before rendering it in a UI.
