Security Policy

May 12, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

Supported Versions

Security fixes are applied to the latest minor release on PyPI and npm. Older versions do not receive backports.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Do not open a public GitHub issue for security reports.

Please email the maintainer with:

  • A description of the issue and the affected component (Python SDK, Node SDK, CI, or documentation).
  • The minimum reproducer you have (a short script is ideal).
  • The package version (pip show FlightRadarAPI / npm ls flightradarapi).
  • The impact you believe the issue has.

Scope

This project is an unofficial SDK that consumes endpoints from flightradar24. The following are explicitly out of scope for security reports:

  • The FR24 site or upstream API itself โ€” contact FR24 directly.
  • TLS impersonation behavior (intentional; see request.py / request.js).
  • The fact that the SDK can be blocked by Cloudflare under heavy use.
  • Anything that requires the user to feed the SDK adversarial input to their own credentials or filesystem.

In Scope

  • Code execution, injection, or filesystem traversal triggered by a normal call surface.
  • Credential leakage in logs, error messages, or exception payloads.
  • Known-vulnerable transitive dependencies that the SDK actually exercises.
  • Improper validation that turns a remote response into local code paths.
