Kraken is a Bash orchestrator that wraps third-party security tools (nmap, subfinder, ffuf, nuclei, ...). The threat model considered here is the wrapper itself - shell injection, unsafe variable expansion, path traversal in session names, unsafe handling of user-supplied targets in the Kraken code.
Vulnerabilities in the wrapped tools must be reported to their respective upstream projects.
Do not open public issues for security problems.

When reporting, please include:

./kraken.sh --version) - Operating system and Bash version
- A minimal reproducer (commands, inputs, expected vs. observed)
- Impact assessment if known
You can expect an acknowledgement within a few days. Coordinated disclosure is preferred; we will agree on a timeline before any public discussion.
Only the latest tagged release receives security fixes.
