Security Policy

Supported versions

This add-on ships as a rolling latest release — security fixes land in the newest version. Please update to the latest release before reporting an issue.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report security issues privately — do not open a public issue with details.

  • Preferred: use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting — go to the Security tab → Report a vulnerability.

Please include:

  • the add-on version (Info page),
  • your Home Assistant install type (OS / Supervised),
  • clear reproduction steps, and
  • the impact.

You'll get an acknowledgement, and we'll work on a fix. Please allow a reasonable period for a patch before any public disclosure.

Deployment notes (important)

This add-on only produces the camera stream, over plain HTTP on port 8888 on your LAN. Securing the path to Alexa is the operator's responsibility:

  • Do not expose port 8888 directly to the internet.
  • Put HTTPS (with a valid certificate) in front of it, and lock external access to Amazon's fetchers with a WAF rule. The End-to-End Setup guide walks through a Cloudflare Tunnel
    • WAF configuration that does exactly this.
  • The built-in Public URL check tab helps confirm your external endpoint is reachable and locked down (a green 403 for non-Amazon clients is the goal).
