We take security seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in Universal Device Toolkit, please report it responsibly through our coordinated disclosure process.

1. Do NOT open a public GitHub issue
2. Do NOT disclose the vulnerability publicly
3. Do send a detailed report to: security@lenovolegiontoolkit.dev

Your report should include:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Affected components or versions
• Potential impact assessment
• Suggested remediation (if any)

1. No Telemetry: UDT contains no data collection or tracking
2. No Background Services: Application only runs when actively used
3. Local-Only Operation: No cloud dependencies or remote servers
4. Privacy-First Design: User data stays on the user's machine

UDT does NOT collect:

• ❌ Usage statistics
• ❌ Hardware identifiers
• ❌ Software inventory
• ❌ User behavior patterns
• ❌ Personal information

Plugins run in dedicated load contexts and should be treated as trusted code:

• Validate plugin source before installation
• Prefer plugins with explicit manifest metadata and checksums
• Keep plugins updated and remove unused plugins
• Use least-privilege Windows account for daily usage

• NuGet Packages: Regularly updated
• Security Scanning: GitHub Dependabot enabled
• Vulnerability Alerts: Automatic notifications
• License Compliance: Review of all dependencies

1. Download from Official Sources

   • GitHub Releases only
   • Verify checksum when possible
   • Check digital signature

2. Permission Management

   • Review requested permissions
   • Run with minimal privileges
   • Disable unused features

3. Plugin Safety

   • Only install trusted plugins
   • Review plugin permissions
   • Keep plugins updated

1. Code Security

   • All input validation
   • No hardcoded credentials
   • Secure string handling
   • FxCop analyzers enabled

2. Dependency Updates

   • Regular dependency audits
   • Automated PRs for updates
   • Security patches prioritized

3. Testing Requirements

   • Security tests for hardware interfaces
   • Plugin API validation
   • Permission boundary tests

Some features require elevated permissions:

• WMI access for power management
• ACPI communication for firmware
• USB/HID access for RGB control

These are necessary for hardware control but increase the application's trust boundary.

The plugin system allows code execution. Users should:

• Only install plugins from trusted sources
• Review plugin permissions before installation
• Keep plugins updated

The update mechanism:

• Uses HTTPS for all downloads
• Verifies binary signatures
• Allows manual update rejection

• OWASP: Application security guidelines followed
• CWE: Common Weakness Enumeration awareness
• NIST: Cybersecurity framework considerations

• GDPR: No personal data collection
• CCPA: No data sale or sharing
• LGPD: No international data transfers

We thank the security research community for helping us keep Universal Device Toolkit secure. Responsible disclosure allows us to address vulnerabilities before they affect users.

• Watch GitHub Releases for updates
• Enable auto-updates in settings
• Follow project announcements

Security updates are:

• Marked clearly in release notes
• Prioritized over feature releases
• Documented with CVE references (if applicable)
