Only the latest release receives fixes. SID Station is a local desktop application: it has no server component and no account system.
Please do not open a public issue for security problems.
Use GitHub's private reporting: Security → Report a vulnerability on the repository. If that is unavailable, contact the maintainer through their GitHub profile.
Include the version, the affected component (Tauri shell, updater, HVSC parsing, ROM scanning) and reproduction steps. You will get an acknowledgement when the report is read; there is no guaranteed response time.
- HVSC updates — the updater downloads over HTTPS from the official hvsc.c64.org endpoints, verifies the expected version and string match of the official update tool, keeps a full backup and rolls back on failure.
- SID parsing — tune headers are parsed by Rust code; the audio engine runs in WebAssembly inside the WebView sandbox.
- Local files — the app reads the collection folder and the configured ROM folder. It does not open arbitrary URLs from tune data.
- Issues that require an already-compromised machine.
- Missing code signing of the installers (SmartScreen warnings are expected).
- Copyright questions about HVSC content or Commodore ROMs; see THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md.
