You can import a GPG key by running the following command with that individual’s fingerprint: `gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys "<fingerprint>"`. Ensure that you put quotes around fingerprints containing spaces.

## nix-bitcoin security fund
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The nix-bitcoin security fund is a collection of funds held on the following 2/3
|
|||
|
|
bitcoin multisig address which is used to reward security researchers who
|
|||
|
|
discover and report vulnerabilities in nix-bitcoin or its upstream dependencies.
|
|||
|
|
Rewards are paid out as percentages of the total fund, rather than as fixed
|
|||
|
|
amounts.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
bc1qrpnz05n0yznaj6yw82wy8dhwuqz86s87vdlhq4cu92fus9qal25s555wsy
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
([View balance](https://mempool.nixbitcoin.org/address/bc1qrpnz05n0yznaj6yw82wy8dhwuqz86s87vdlhq4cu92fus9qal25s555wsy))
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The nix-bitcoin developers [listed above](#reporting-a-vulnerability) each hold
|
|||
|
|
one key to the multisig address and collectively form the nix-bitcoin developer
|
|||
|
|
quorum:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Eligible Vulnerabilities
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The following types of vulnerabilities qualify for rewards, to the exclusion of
|
|||
|
|
all other security vulnerabilities.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Type | Description | Examples |
|
|||
|
|
| :-: | :-: | :-: |
|
|||
|
|
| Outright Vulnerabilities | Vulnerabilities in nix-bitcoin specific tooling (except CI tooling) | privilege escalation in SUID binary `netns-exec`, improper release signature verification through `fetch-release` |
|
|||
|
|
| Violations of [PoLP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege) | nix-bitcoin services are given too much privilege over the system or unnecessary access to other nix-bitcoin services, or one of the nix-bitcoin isolation measures is incorrectly implemented | `netns-isolation` doesn't work, spark-wallet has access to bitcoin RPC interface or files |
|
|||
|
|
| Vulnerabilities in Dependencies | A vulnerability in any dependency of a nix-bitcoin installation with a configuration consisting of any combination of the following services: bitcoind, clightning, lnd, electrs, joinmarket, btcpayserver, liquidd.<br />**Note:** The vulnerability must first be reported to and handled by the maintainers of the dependency before it qualifies for a reward| Compromised NixOS expression pulls in malicious package, JoinMarket pulls in a python dependency with a known severe vulnerability |
|
|||
|
|
| Bad Documentation | Our documentation suggests blatantly insecure things | `install.md` tells you to add our SSH keys to your root user |
|
|||
|
|
| Compromise of Signing Key | Compromise of the nix-bitcoin signing key, i.e., `0xB1A70E4F8DCD0366` | Leaking the key, managing to sign something with it |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Reward
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Researchers qualify for a maximum reward[^1] of 10% of the total fund holdings for
|
|||
|
|
reporting any vulnerability that matches the above eligibility requirements. If
|
|||
|
|
a vulnerability or any combination of a number of vulnerabilities that meet the
|
|||
|
|
above-described eligibility requirements can lead to a realistic attack on
|
|||
|
|
nix-bitcoin users, researchers qualify for a higher maximum reward[^1] depending
|
|||
|
|
the final outcome of the attack scenario:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Outcome | Description | Maximum Reward of Total Fund[^1] |
|
|||
|
|
| :-: | :-: | :-: |
|
|||
|
|
| Loss of Funds | Attack allows stealing or destroying user's funds | 50 % |
|
|||
|
|
| Loss of Privacy | Attack allows exfiltrating sensitive information or otherwise attributing a user's real world identity to his nix-bitcoin node or funds held/managed thereon without the user specifically opting-in to this (e.g., by disabling the `secure-node` preset) | 25 % |
|
|||
|
|
| Denial of Service | Attack allows crashing a service or otherwise denying a user service from his node | 25 % |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All other reported vulnerabilities which meet the above requirements without a
|
|||
|
|
clear and plausible attack scenario receive a maximum reward[^1] of 10% of the
|
|||
|
|
fund.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[^1]: Rewards are subject to a discount at the discretion of the nix-bitcoin
|
|||
|
|
developer quorum for reasons such as insignificance of the vulnerability or
|
|||
|
|
obscurity of the victim's required configuration, as well as simple mitigation
|
|||
|
|
(i.e. the attack should have been mitigated anyway by common-sense security
|
|||
|
|
measures) or complex/unlikely attack execution.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Policy
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Vulnerabilities must be [responsibly
|
|||
|
|
disclosed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_vulnerability_disclosure).
|
|||
|
|
* E2EE: Vulnerabilities must be disclosed via end-to-end encrypted communication
|
|||
|
|
methods, such as PGP E-Mail or Matrix.
|
|||
|
|
* Wall of Fame: In addition to the above rewards, security researchers will also
|
|||
|
|
be added to the Wall of Fame, unless, of course, they wish to remain
|
|||
|
|
anonymous.
|
|||
|
|
* First come, first serve: Rewards are awarded strictly on a first come, first
|
|||
|
|
serve basis from the date they were responsibly disclosed in their entirety.
|
|||
|
|
Multiple reports from the same researcher can either be bundled for a higher
|
|||
|
|
likelihood of receiving the full maximum reward or rewarded individually,
|
|||
|
|
proportional to the remaining amount.
|
|||
|
|
* Exclusion of dependencies with existing bug bounty programms: Software which
|
|||
|
|
is covered by an existing bug bounty program is not eligible for rewards under
|
|||
|
|
the "Vulnerabilities in Dependencies" category.
|
|||
|
|
* Exclusion of dependencies with known vulnerabilities that are in the process
|
|||
|
|
of being patched: Software with a known vulnerability where there is reason to
|
|||
|
|
believe that the patch is still under development or simply has not yet been
|
|||
|
|
ported to NixOS, due to the relative recency of the patch, is not eligible for
|
|||
|
|
rewards under the "Vulnerabilities in Dependencies" category.
|
|||
|
|
* Termination: The fund can be terminated at any time by the quorum of key
|
|||
|
|
holders in which case the holdings are donated to non-profit organizations.
|
|||
|
|
* This document may be updated over time to ensure smooth and purposeful
|
|||
|
|
operation of the fund as an incentive for security researchers to investigate
|
|||
|
|
and report vulnerabilities in the nix-bitcoin ecosystem.
