## Areas outside Joplin's Threat Model
Note: we're mostly linking to Chrome's documentation since our reasoning for these exclusions is the same.
### Denial of Service (DoS)
[Reference](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/docs/security/faq.md#are-denial-of-service-issues-considered-security-bugs)
### Physically-local attacks
[Reference](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/docs/security/faq.md#why-arent-physically_local-attacks-in-chromes-threat-model)
### Compromised/infected machines
[Reference](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/docs/security/faq.md#why-arent-compromised_infected-machines-in-chromes-threat-model)
### Is opening a file on the local machine a security vulnerability?
No - users are allowed to link to files on their local computer. This was a feature that was implemented by popular request. There are measures in place to mitigate security risks such as a dialog to confirm whether a file with an unknown file extension should be opened.
### Is DLL sideloading a security vulnerability?
No. This is an Electron issue and not one they will fix: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/28384
See also [Physically-local attacks](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/docs/security/faq.md#why-arent-physically_local-attacks-in-chromes-threat-model)
### Is local data not being encrypted a security vulnerability?
No, but you should use disk encryption. See also [Physically-local attacks](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/docs/security/faq.md#why-arent-physically_local-attacks-in-chromes-threat-model)
## Bounty
We **do not** offer a bounty for discovering vulnerabilities, please do not ask. We can however credit you and link to your website in the changelog and release announcement.
