wickra-exchange connects to crypto exchanges and can place authenticated orders. It handles secret key material and order flow, so security is a first-class concern. Please read THREAT_MODEL.md for the asset inventory, trust boundaries and key-handling guarantees.

This project is pre-release. Security fixes target the main branch and the most recent published version once a release exists.

Please do not open a public issue, pull request or discussion for security problems. Report privately through either channel:

• GitHub → the repository's Security tab → Report a vulnerability (private advisory), or
• email support@wickra.org.

Include a description, affected version/commit, reproduction steps and impact. Never include real API keys, secrets or signed request payloads — redact them.

We aim to acknowledge within a few days, agree a disclosure timeline, and credit reporters who wish to be named once a fix ships.

In scope: signing correctness, leakage of secret material (logs, errors, memory), order-rounding/validation flaws that could mis-size or mis-route an order, and reconnect/reconciliation gaps that could lose track of open orders. Out of scope: vulnerabilities in third-party exchanges themselves, and any use that puts secret keys in a browser or other untrusted client (explicitly unsupported — see the threat model).
