Security

How to report a security problem, and what Hush does with your system.

Hush AI runs with your microphone and, during setup, installs an audio driver with administrator rights. Please report security problems privately.

Report a problem#

Use GitHub private vulnerability reporting. Do not open a public issue. Include the version, your system and the steps to reproduce.

What Hush AI does#

  • Audio stays on your computer. The app makes network requests only to download the model (Hugging Face) and to check for updates (GitHub).
  • The model download is checked against a fixed SHA-256 before use.
  • Updates are signed; the app checks the signature before it installs one.
  • Administrator rights are used only for: installing or removing the macOS plug-in in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL, and renaming or restoring VB-CABLE's endpoint names on Windows.
