We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in the Prismor community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
- Reviewing others' work on its merits, and critiquing the code rather than the person who wrote it
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
- Dismissing or belittling contributors for their level of experience, their tooling, or the fact that they used an AI agent to write their patch
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Prismor is security software, and our community includes security researchers. That carries a few obligations beyond ordinary open-source etiquette.
- Report vulnerabilities in Prismor privately. Use GitHub's private security advisory reporting on the repository. Do not open a public issue, post to Discord, or tweet a working exploit before a fix is available.
- Do not use community spaces to disclose undisclosed vulnerabilities in third-party projects. Take it to that project's disclosure channel.
- Do not post working attack payloads against systems you do not own or have permission to test, including in issues, PRs, or test fixtures.
- Never commit real credentials, keys, or secrets — not in code, tests, fixtures, or docs. Use the
@@SECRET:<name>@@placeholder convention.
Good-faith security research is welcome here and we are glad to have it. Using this community as a distribution channel for unpatched exploits is not research, and it is treated as a violation of this Code of Conduct.
Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
This Code of Conduct applies within all Prismor community spaces, including:
- The PrismorSec GitHub organization — repositories, issues, pull requests, discussions, and code review
- The Prismor Discord server
- Official Prismor social accounts, including @prismor_dev
- Any other space the project operates in, online or offline
It also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces — for example, using an official email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an event.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at contact@prismor.dev.
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
If your report concerns a community leader, you may send it to that address and request that the person in question be recused from handling it.
Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
Community Impact: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
Consequence: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
Community Impact: A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
Consequence: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
Community Impact: A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
Consequence: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
Community Impact: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
Consequence: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.
