Security policy

Supported versions

Security fixes are applied to the latest stable release and edge. Older release tags are immutable and are not rebuilt in place.

Reporting

Do not disclose a suspected vulnerability in a public issue. Contact the maintainers privately through the authoritative Forgejo instance or the security contact published by the Ploos-AS organization.

For vulnerabilities in Nmap or Zenmap themselves, follow the Nmap Project's upstream reporting process.

Deployment guidance

  • Run only on networks where scanning is authorized.
  • Do not expose noVNC port 6080 directly to the Internet.
  • Put remote access behind an authenticated TLS reverse proxy or VPN.
  • Traditional VNC authentication uses only the first eight password characters.
  • Protect .env, /config, and saved scan output as sensitive data.
  • Keep NET_RAW and NET_ADMIN; do not grant --privileged.
  • Prefer an immutable version tag instead of edge for stable deployments.

Setting ALLOW_INSECURE_VNC=1 disables VNC authentication and is intended only for an already isolated environment with another access-control layer.
