Security Best Practices

When using Go-OPML:

  1. Input Validation: Always validate OPML input files before processing
  2. Network Security: Use appropriate timeout settings for RSS fetching (default: 30s)
  3. Permissions: Run with minimal required permissions
  4. Updates: Keep Go-OPML updated to the latest version (currently v1.1.0)
  5. Dependencies: Regularly check for dependency updates using go list -u -m all
  6. Isolation: Consider running in containerized environments for additional isolation
  7. Monitoring: Monitor RSS fetch timeouts and failures for unusual patterns

Known Security Considerations

  • RSS Feed Fetching: Go-OPML fetches external RSS feeds, which could potentially expose you to malicious content
  • File Processing: OPML files are parsed as XML - ensure input files are from trusted sources
  • Network Requests: The tool makes HTTP requests to RSS endpoints - consider network policies
  • Concurrent Processing: Default concurrency is 5 - adjust based on your security requirements
