Security Policy

If an end-user discovers a vulnerability in the update_full-unix script, it can be reported in the Private Vulnerability Reporting: < https://github.com/mportizlunyov/update_full-unix/security/advisories >

Please do not send any security notifications regarding any of package managers used, since I cannot control anything of any package manager. Make sure that the security vulnerabilities are about the script itself.

Privacy Policy

This program does not collect any telemetry or user data. The only time in which this program connects to the internet is during the Ping test (in order to verify connection with the internet, see Usage for details), retrieving the script's relevant SHA512 and SHA256 checksums (using CURL or WGET, whichever is detected first), and while updating packages through their respective package managers. The only time that this script accesses the user's file system is when making log files (can be disabled, see Usage for details) and when calling upon the various package managers that the script supports to update their packages.

All of these statements can be Verified, as this software is Free/Libre & Open-Source (FOSS), thus meaning that anybody can read the source code and verify what is does (license details below).
