Security Policy

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Use GitHub Security Advisories to report vulnerabilities privately. You can expect a response within 72 hours.

Please include:

  • Description of the vulnerability and its potential impact
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Affected versions
  • Any suggested mitigations (if known)

Security model

synapses-intelligence is a local-only service — no data leaves your machine.

  • Binds to localhost:11435 by default — not exposed to the network
  • All LLM inference runs via a local Ollama instance
  • No API keys, no cloud endpoints, no telemetry
  • SQLite database (brain.sqlite) stored at ~/.synapses/ — local filesystem only
  • Config file (brain.json) stored at ~/.synapses/brain.json — never committed to git

Known limitations

  • The HTTP server has no authentication by default. If you expose brain serve beyond localhost (not recommended), add a reverse proxy with auth.
  • brain.json stores Ollama connection details in plaintext — keep it outside your repo.
