 # Security
 
-If you discover a security vulnerability within PocketBase, please send an e-mail to **support at pocketbase.io**.
+**Keep in mind that PocketBase is a non-commercial open source project, maintained entirely on volunteer basis (there is no company or dedicated team behind it), and there are no bounties!**
 
-All reports will be promptly addressed and you'll be credited in the fix release notes.
+If you want to responsibly report a security issue you'll have to reach out as a human to **support at pocketbase.io**.
+
+This means:
+- no overconfident and arrogant tone
+- no threatening deadlines
+- no requirement for me to login in your security platform just to read the report
+- no inflated severity (we can discuss the CVSS score after confirming the issue)
+- no LLMs usage as part of your report description or followup communication
+
+Reports that don't follow the above will NOT be reviewed no matter of their validity _(you are of course free to publish whatever you want; see also [#7718](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7718))_.
+
+**Or in other words - a simple _"Hey I think I found a security issue when I do X"_ is enough.**
+
+I try to be as responsive as possible and usually address security issues within couple days but if you didn't receive a reply from me for more than a week it is very likely that your email was flagged and in that case please open a GitHub issue or discussion just mentioning that you found a vulnerability and want to report it so that I can see the notification and will try to contact you for more details.
+
+In case the vulnerability is confirmed:
+
+- I'll start working on a local fix.
+- Once the fix is implemented locally, I'll publish a pre-announcement with a scheduled release date _(and when possible an approximate release time)_.
+- After the release, I'll publish a GitHub security advisory and CVE with remediation steps and **minimal** details regarding the found exploit _(you are free to publish PoC and more details in your own blog, gist, etc. but it is advised to wait at least a week after the release to allow enough time for people to patch their instances before making it more publicly known)_.
+
+### Below is a short list of previous reports that are NOT considered security issues:
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Stored XSS</strong></summary>
+
+This was discussed several times, both privately and [publicly](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/6694), but I remain on the opinion that it should be handled primarily on the client-side.
+
+Modern browsers recently introduced a basic [`Sanitizer` interface](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Sanitizer) that could help filtering HTML strings without external libraries.
+
+Having also a default [Content Security Policy (CSP)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CSP) either as meta tag or response header is always a good idea to minimize the risk of XSS.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>SQL injection in low level DB methods like <code>app.DeleteTable(dangerousName)</code></strong></summary>
+
+This is working correctly and it is not an issue but it is a common report most likely found by LLM or some other automated tools that may have stumbled on the [NB! code comments](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase@master/core#BaseApp.DeleteTable).
+
+Raw SQL statements, table and column names are not parameterized and they are vulnerable to SQL injection if used with untrusted input. The documentation as seen above already warns against it. In recent PocketBase releases, many of the arguments of these methods were also prefixed with `dangerous*` to make it even more clear that they should be used with caution.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Race conditions</strong></summary>
+
+To avoid DB locks PocketBase deliberately tries to minimize the use of DB transactions.
+This means that operations like record update don't wrap out of the box for example the `SELECT` and `UPDATE` SQL statements in a single transaction, and this can technically lead to a race condition if multiple users edit the same record.
+
+This is an accepted tradeoff and for the majority of cases it has no security implications.
+
+This also apply for the read and delete of MFA and OTP records but for those cases, since they operate in a security sensitive context, they have an extra short-lived duration that is configurable from the collection settings _(there are also system cron jobs that takes care for deleting forgotten/expired entries to prevent accumulation of invalid records)_.
+
+For the cases where transactions are really needed, users can utilize the [Batch Web API](https://pocketbase.io/docs/api-records/#batch-createupdateupsertdelete-records) or [create a transaction programmatically](https://pocketbase.io/docs/go-records/#transaction) _(with PocketBase v0.23+ it is also possible to wrap an entire hook chain in a single transaction)_.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>List/Search side-channel attacks</strong></summary>
+
+Over the years we've implemented several extra checks to minimize the risk of List/Search side-channel attacks (see especially [v0.32.0](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v0320)) but users need to be aware that all client-side filtered fields are technically subject to timing attacks _(whether they are practical or not is a different topic)_.
+
+This is by design and it is accepted tradeoff between performance, security and usability.
+
+If you are concerned about timing attacks and have security sensitive collection data such as `secret`, `code`, `token`, etc. then the general recommendation is to mark their related fields as "Hidden" in order to disallow use in client-side filters.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Connecting to a vulnerable OAuth2 provider</strong></summary>
+
+Because PocketBase v0.23+ supports automatically uploading the OAuth2 avatar on user create _(need to be specified from the auth collection OAuth2 fields mapping)_ some security researchers raised a concern regarding a Blind SSRF but this implies that an attacker controls the OAuth2 vendor and this is a very serious assumption in the first place.
+
+The entire OAuth2 flow relies that the application server (PocketBase) trusts the configured OAuth2 vendor.
+If you suspect that an OAuth2 vendor is malicious and cannot be trusted then you MUST NOT use that OAuth2 vendor at all and you should report it.
+
+If someone is able to tamper with the OAuth2 responses then the entire OAuth2 flow can be thrown out of the window because they will be practically able to authenticate as any of your existing users and the eventual avatar URL probing request is the least of your problem.
+
+~Nonetheless, in future PocketBase releases there will be [extra `localhost` domain like checks](https://github.com/orgs/pocketbase/projects/2/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=159545722) when assigning the OAuth2 avatar URL to a `file` field that will further minimize the risk of internal network probing requests in case of a vulnerable OAuth2 provider.~ _Done._
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Users enumeration</strong></summary>
+
+This is a common and usually valid report but there is no easy solution without confusing and degrading the users experience.
+
+Some endpoints, like the user create/register, can be used for usernames or emails enumeration based on various response heuristics - timing, specific error messages, etc.
+
+In many places where applicable we've tried to minimize the impact by using constant time checks, returning non-descriptive error messages, applying an internal rate limit for some operations, etc. but it is not bulletproof and if somebody wants to find out if a user is registered they will be able to do it one way or another.
+
+If you think that there is a place where we can improve the handling without hurting too much the user experience, feel free to open a regular public issue and it will be considered.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Attack-vectors relying on social engineering</strong></summary>
+
+Reports for attacks relying on various social engineering tactics _(e.g. tricking someone to click on a link)_ are valid concerns but usually out of the security scope of the project as there are a lot of cases where the APIs are deliberately designed for minimal friction.
+
+If you have concerns for such attack, feel free to open a regular public issue and we can eventually try to reconsider adding extra guards when feasible _(or at least properly document the existing behavior)_.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong><code>disintegration/imaging</code> CVE-2023-36308</strong></summary>
+
+Just for the past month, due to some corporate security scanners 5 different people raised concerns over [CVE-2023-36308](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-36308) but this is not really a vulnerability, especially not in PocketBase.
+
+[`disintegration/imaging`](https://github.com/disintegration/imaging) is a direct PocketBase dependency responsible for the thumbs generation.
+
+First, a panic (similar to exception in other languages) is NOT a security issue and Go programs usually have to be written defensively with that in mind. In PocketBase specifically all routes have auto panic-recover handling, no matter what the source of the panic is, so the worst case scenario would be an HTTP error response when attempting to access the thumb.
+
+Second, the related issue that the CVE describes is probably caused by a bug in an outdated `golang.org/x/image` dependency listed in the `go.mod` of that package but PocketBase uses a newer patched version of it that is expected to take precedence.
+
+Third, even if that issue is still available, with PocketBase it would have been triggerable ONLY if we supported TIFF thumbs generation but we don't. The supported thumbs formats at the moment are JPG, PNG, GIF (its first frame) and partially WebP (stored as PNG). All other images are served as it is, without any transformation.
+
+In the future I may consider eventually replacing the library because it is no longer actively maintained but as of now it is working correctly and as expected for our use case and you can safely flag the security warning as false-positive.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>JSVM "sandboxing"</strong></summary>
+
+This is another very common report but **there is no such thing as JSVM "sandboxing" in PocketBase**.
+
+The JS `pb_hooks` (or JSVM for short) are NOT supposed to run untrusted or client provided JavaScript code _(the same way you are not supposed to run untrusted code in your Node.js server)_.
+
+Once interpreted the `pb_hooks` run as part of the same application process together with the rest of the Go code. There are no additional filesystem, network, memory, etc. restrictions. This means that it is OK for developers to be able to access environment variables, perform network calls to any URLs they want, invoke shell commands or even sleep/block the script execution.
+
+So if you are security researcher and not sure if something is a security fault in the JS hooks, ask yourself - "Can I do the same when using PocketBase as Go framework?" and if the answer is "Yes" then it is not a security issue with the JSVM.

-- Fixed UI logs search not properly accounting for the "Include requests by superusers" toggle when multiple search expressions are used.
+- Minor improvements for the JSVM migration error handling:
+    - Included the recovered panic stack trace of `routine.SafeWrap` in the returned error (max 2KB).
+    - Wrap the individual `up`/`down` JSVM migration arguments in `routine.SafeWrap` so that in case of panic we can still print the failed js migration filename.
 
-- Fixed `text` field max validation error message ([#6053](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/issues/6053)).
+- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.59.0 _(minor performance improvement by switching to Go's `memmove`)_.
 
-- Other minor fixes (comment typos, JSVM types update).

-## v0.23.0
+## v0.40.0
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> You don't have to upgrade to PocketBase v0.23.0 if you are not planning further developing
-> your existing app and/or are satisfied with the v0.22.x features set. There are no identified critical issues
-> with PocketBase v0.22.x yet and in the case of critical bugs and security vulnerabilities, the fixes
-> will be backported for at least until Q1 of 2025 (_if not longer_).
->
-> **If you don't plan upgrading make sure to pin the SDKs version to their latest PocketBase v0.22.x compatible:**
-> - JS SDK: `<0.22.0`
-> - Dart SDK: `<0.19.0`
+- Propagate console command errors and recovered panics to `app.Start()` so that the program can exit with non-zero code while still ensuring that `app.OnTerminate` hook was triggered _(responsible for the app graceful shutdown handling)_.
+    _⚠️ Note that this could be a slight breaking change in case you are chaining PocketBase commands and relied on the previous `0` exit status for `Command.RunE` returned errors._
+    _Or in other words, if you have `./pocketbase invalid && someothercommand` and previously relied that `someothercommand` will be always executed then this is no longer the case and you'll have to adjust it or replace `&&` with `;`._
 
-> [!CAUTION]
-> This release introduces many Go/JSVM and Web APIs breaking changes!
->
-> Existing `pb_data` will be automatically upgraded with the start of the new executable,
-> but custom Go or JSVM (`pb_hooks`, `pb_migrations`) and JS/Dart SDK code will have to be migrated manually.
-> Please refer to the below upgrade guides:
-> - Go:   https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/go/.
-> - JSVM: https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/jsvm/.
->
-> If you had already switched to some of the earlier `<v0.23.0-rc14` versions and have generated a full collections snapshot migration (aka. `./pocketbase migrate collections`), then you may have to regenerate the migration file to ensure that it includes the latest changes.
+- Added quotes around the default `Content-Disposition` serving filename in case custom name with special characters is provided.
 
-PocketBase v0.23.0 is a major refactor of the internals with the overall goal of making PocketBase an easier to use Go framework.
-There are a lot of changes but to highlight some of the most notable ones:
+- Added `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy:same-origin` to the default security response headers.
+    _This is an extra precaution to prevent tab-nabbing in case custom UI plugins use `target="_blank"` without `rel="noopener"`._
 
-- New and more [detailed documentation](https://pocketbase.io/docs/).
-  _The old documentation could be accessed at [pocketbase.io/old](https://pocketbase.io/old/)._
-- Replaced `echo` with a new router built on top of the Go 1.22 `net/http` mux enhancements.
-- Merged `daos` packages in `core.App` to simplify the DB operations (_the `models` package structs are also migrated in `core`_).
-- Option to specify custom `DBConnect` function as part of the app configuration to allow different `database/sql` SQLite drivers (_turso/libsql, sqlcipher, etc._) and custom builds.
-  _Note that we no longer loads the `mattn/go-sqlite3` driver by default when building with `CGO_ENABLED=1` to avoid `multiple definition` linker errors in case different CGO SQLite drivers or builds are used. You can find an example how to enable it back if you want to in the [new documentation](https://pocketbase.io/docs/go-overview/#github-commattngo-sqlite3)._
-- New hooks allowing better control over the execution chain and error handling (_including wrapping an entire hook chain in a single DB transaction_).
-- Various `Record` model improvements (_support for get/set modifiers, simplfied file upload by treating the file(s) as regular field value like `record.Set("document", file)`, etc._).
-- Dedicated fields structs with safer defaults to make it easier creating/updating collections programmatically.
-- Option to mark field as "Hidden", disallowing regular users to read or modify it (_there is also a dedicated Record hook to hide/unhide Record fields programmatically from a single place_).
-- Option to customize the default system collection fields (`id`, `email`, `password`, etc.).
-- Admins are now system `_superusers` auth records.
-- Builtin rate limiter (_supports tags, wildcards and exact routes matching_).
-- Batch/transactional Web API endpoint.
-- Impersonate Web API endpoint (_it could be also used for generating fixed/non-refreshable superuser tokens, aka. "API keys"_).
-- Support for custom user request activity log attributes.
-- One-Time Password (OTP) auth method (_via email code_).
-- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) support (_currently requires any 2 different auth methods to be used_).
-- Support for Record "proxy/projection" in preparation for the planned autogeneration of typed Go record models.
-- Linear OAuth2 provider ([#5909](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5909); thanks @chnfyi).
-- WakaTime OAuth2 provider ([#5829](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5829); thanks @tigawanna).
-- Notion OAuth2 provider ([#4999](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/4999); thanks @s-li1).
-- monday.com OAuth2 provider ([#5346](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5346); thanks @Jaytpa01).
-- New Instagram provider compatible with the new Instagram Login APIs ([#5588](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/pull/5588); thanks @pnmcosta).
-    _The provider key is `instagram2` to prevent conflicts with existing linked users._
-- Option to retrieve the OIDC OAuth2 user info from the `id_token` payload for the cases when the provider doesn't have a dedicated user info endpoint.
-- Various minor UI improvements (_recursive `Presentable` view, slightly different collection options organization, zoom/pan for the logs chart, etc._)
-- and many more...
+- Added `Record.GetInt64(field)` helper (note that the serializable max safe integer of the `number` field is ~2^53-1).
 
-#### Go/JSVM APIs changes
+- Added `Store.Keys()` method that returns a slice with all of the store keys.
 
-> - Go:   https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/go/.
-> - JSVM: https://pocketbase.io/v023upgrade/jsvm/.
+- Added new `DELETE /api/logs` endpoint and UI control to delete all logs without changing the `maxDays` retention setting.
 
-#### SDKs changes
+- Added new log settings option to limit the max `Log.Data` size that will be saved in the database (default to ~16KB).
+    _This is an extra precaution for the cases when logging user supplied data without validating it beforehand._
+    _If the resulting `Log.Data` json is above the limit, it is truncated to the last valid decoded character and an extra `"__pb_truncated__":true` log data entry will be added.`_
+    _Additionally, for just in case the log message is also truncated at max 8k characters._
 
-- [JS SDK v0.22.0](https://github.com/pocketbase/js-sdk/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
-- [Dart SDK v0.19.0](https://github.com/pocketbase/dart-sdk/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)
+- Added new `filesystem` low-level helper methods:
+    - `filesystem.NewWriter(key, opts)` to allow direct file create from an `io.Reader` value.
+    - `filesystem.OnNewWriter()` hook to allow listening for new/to-be-created files _(it is not exposed in `core.App` instance for now to avoid introducing breaking changes)_.
+    - `filesystem.OnDelete()` hook to allow listening for deleted files _(it is not exposed in `core.App` instance for now to avoid introducing breaking changes)_.
 
-#### Web APIs changes
+- Optimized backups to no longer transaction lock the database during backup generation ([#7799](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/7799#discussioncomment-18108244)).
 
-- New `POST /api/batch` endpoint.
+- Updated `modernc.org/sqlite` to 1.57.0 and registered by default the new `_defensive=1` DSN query parameter to enable [SQLite's defensive mode](https://sqlite.org/c3ref/c_dbconfig_defensive.html#sqlitedbconfigdefensive).
 
-- New `GET /api/collections/meta/scaffolds` endpoint.
-
-- New `DELETE /api/collections/{collection}/truncate` endpoint.
-
-- New `POST /api/collections/{collection}/request-otp` endpoint.
-
-- New `POST /api/collections/{collection}/auth-with-otp` endpoint.
-
-- New `POST /api/collections/{collection}/impersonate/{id}` endpoint.
-
-- ⚠️ If you are constructing requests to `/api/*` routes manually remove the trailing slash (_there is no longer trailing slash removal middleware registered by default_).
-
-- ⚠️ Removed `/api/admins/*` endpoints because admins are converted to `_superusers` auth collection records.
-
-- ⚠️ Previously when uploading new files to a multiple `file` field, new files were automatically appended to the existing field values.
-     This behaviour has changed with v0.23+ and for consistency with the other multi-valued fields when uploading new files they will replace the old ones. If you want to prepend or append new files to an existing multiple `file` field value you can use the `+` prefix or suffix:
-     ```js
-     "documents": [file1, file2]  // => [file1_name, file2_name]
-     "+documents": [file1, file2] // => [file1_name, file2_name, old1_name, old2_name]
-     "documents+": [file1, file2] // => [old1_name, old2_name, file1_name, file2_name]
-     ```
-
-- ⚠️ Removed `GET /records/{id}/external-auths` and `DELETE /records/{id}/external-auths/{provider}` endpoints because this is now handled by sending list and delete requests to the `_externalAuths` collection.
-
-- ⚠️ Changes to the app settings model fields and response (+new options such as `trustedProxy`, `rateLimits`, `batch`, etc.). The app settings Web APIs are mostly used by the Dashboard UI and rarely by the end users, but if you want to check all settings changes please refer to the [Settings Go struct](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/blob/develop/core/settings_model.go#L121).
-
-- ⚠️ New flatten Collection model and fields structure. The Collection model Web APIs are mostly used by the Dashboard UI and rarely by the end users, but if you want to check all changes please refer to the [Collection Go struct](https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/blob/develop/core/collection_model.go#L308).
-
-- ⚠️ The top level error response `code` key was renamed to `status` for consistency with the Go APIs.
-    The error field key remains `code`:
-    ```js
-    {
-        "status": 400, // <-- old: "code"
-        "message": "Failed to create record.",
-        "data": {
-            "title": {
-                "code": "validation_required",
-                "message": "Missing required value."
-            }
-        }
-    }
-    ```
-
-- ⚠️ New fields in the `GET /api/collections/{collection}/auth-methods` response.
-    _The old `authProviders`, `usernamePassword`, `emailPassword` fields are still returned in the response but are considered deprecated and will be removed in the future._
-    ```js

+// NB! This feature is experimental and currently is expected to work only on UNIX based systems.

+// To safely perform the restore it is recommended to have free disk space
+// for at least 2x the size of the restored pb_data backup.
+//
+// The performed steps are:
+//
+//  1. Download the backup with the specified name in a temp location
+//     (this is in case of S3; otherwise it creates a temp copy of the zip)
+//
+//  2. Extract the backup in a temp directory inside the app "pb_data"
+//     (eg. "pb_data/.pb_temp_to_delete/pb_restore").
+//
+//  3. Move the current app "pb_data" content (excluding the local backups and the special temp dir)
+//     under another temp sub dir that will be deleted on the next app start up
+//     (eg. "pb_data/.pb_temp_to_delete/old_pb_data").
+//     This is because on some environments it may not be allowed
+//     to delete the currently open "pb_data" files.
+//
+//  4. Move the extracted dir content to the app "pb_data".
+//
+//  5. Restart the app (on successful app bootstrap it will also remove the old pb_data).
+//
+// If a failure occur during the restore process the dir changes are reverted.
+// If for whatever reason the revert is not possible, it panics.
+//
+// Note that if your pb_data has custom network mounts as subdirectories, then
