Scope

Am I Hacked? is a local, read-only security assessment tool. It does not expose network services, store data remotely, or run as a persistent agent. Vulnerabilities in scope include:

  • False negatives that would cause a genuinely compromised system to report as clean (detection logic bugs)
  • Code execution bugs — scenarios where running the tool on a compromised system could allow the attacker to escalate or persist via the tool itself
  • Insecure handling of API keys or user-supplied config that leaks credentials
  • Report injection — malicious finding data that executes code when the HTML report is opened

Out of scope:

  • False positives (legitimate software flagged as suspicious) — open a Detection Request instead
  • Issues requiring physical access to the machine being scanned
  • Findings about the user's own environment surfaced by the tool (that's the point)

Reporting a Vulnerability

  1. A description of the vulnerability and its impact
  2. Steps to reproduce or a proof-of-concept
  3. The version of the tool affected
  4. Any suggested fix if you have one
