DevSweep deletes files, so a bug that makes it delete the wrong thing is treated as a security issue here, not just a bug.
- It deleted, or would delete, anything it shouldn't: something outside your home folder, through a symlink, in a folder git tracks, or anything the README's Safety first says is never touched.
- It ran a tool (
simctl,brew,git) on something it shouldn't, or in a way it shouldn't. - Put Back put something back somewhere other than where it was.
- Anything else that could lose someone's data.
Plain bugs, like a wrong size, a screen that looks off, or a crash with nothing lost, are welcome as public issues.
Use Report a vulnerability on the repository's Security tab, so the report stays private until it's fixed. Please include:
- DevSweep's version, from its About window or the release you downloaded, and your macOS version;
- what you did, and what was, or would have been, deleted;
- if you can, the output of
devsweepon its own, which only reports and shows what it found.
You'll get a reply within a week. A confirmed problem is fixed in a new release, with a line in the CHANGELOG and credit to you if you'd like it. Only the latest release gets fixes.
