Overview

This skill guides developers through practical security practices for the Tauri v2 ecosystem, covering auditing, dependency management, permissions, and organizational controls. It focuses on concrete actions to reduce supply-chain, buildtime, distribution, and runtime risks when building secure desktop applications.

How this skill works

The skill explains what to inspect at each stage of the app lifecycle: upstream dependencies, development environments, CI/CD pipelines, release procedures, and runtime enforcement (CSP, capabilities, scopes). It recommends tools and procedures—cargo audit, npm audit, pinned action versions, and capability/scoping checks—and provides a checklist for pre-release and periodic reviews. It also describes secure vulnerability reporting and coordinated disclosure practices.

When to use it

Before a release to run a pre-release security audit and dependency scans
When onboarding a new dependency or third-party library
When designing IPC and capability boundaries for frontend-backend communication
While configuring CI/CD to ensure reproducible, signed builds
During incident handling to follow responsible vulnerability disclosure

Best practices

Adopt least-privilege capabilities and explicit scopes; deny rules must block sensitive paths
Pin critical dependencies to a git revision and pin action/tool versions in CI workflows
Run automated audits (cargo audit, npm audit) and supplement with vetting tools like cargo vet
Harden developer machines: avoid admin usage, do not store production secrets locally, use hardware tokens
Use strict CSPs, whitelist only trusted hosts, and avoid loading remote scripts from CDNs

Example use cases

Pinning a filesystem library to a git revision and validating it with cargo vet before release
Configuring a capability that grants fs:read-files only to a named window and denying user home secret paths
Updating CI workflows to pin GitHub Actions versions and require signed commits and human approvals
Running cargo audit and npm audit as part of a gated release job and failing on critical findings
Reporting a discovered vulnerability privately via GitHub private disclosure or the project security email

FAQ

Capabilities limit which windows can request permissions and scopes constrain command access to explicit paths, enforcing least privilege and reducing blast radius if frontend is compromised.

Which tools should I run regularly?

Run cargo audit and npm audit routinely, use cargo outdated to check freshness, and consider cargo vet/crev for deeper supply-chain verification.
