Merge Risk: Low · up to b1b46
This PR only updates documentation and audit records, so it has no direct runtime effect. Some security audit statements are inaccurate or incomplete, notably the claim that the file-serving route has no race window and the credential-permission remediation that would leave existing files unchanged. The audit counts and statuses also disagree across files. Correct these before the records are relied on, but they do not block the release notes.

Ground Finding #014 in a threat model before keeping the MEDIUM rating.
The implementation only establishes that arbitrary configuration values can reach the SDK. The report names no untrusted producer, security-sensitive setting, or security-control bypass. If fleet config authors are trusted and the field is not user-facing, reclassify #014 as an open design review or advisory. Otherwise, name the untrusted boundary and the concrete setting and consequence.

⚠️Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Synchronize the duplicated update date.
When last_run advances to 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z, update the Last Updated field on line 11 as well. It still reports 2026-08-13T00:00:00Z, so the state file exposes two different update dates.

- Around line 65-68: Update the Hot-Spot Verification Results summary to remove
#009 from the accepted-risk list, keeping its status consistent with the later
partially fixed entry and accepted-risk statistics.
- Around line 97-100: Update the TOCTOU assessment around realpath, open, and
fstat to acknowledge that the path can be replaced between containment
validation and opening, so fstat only validates the opened target. Remove the
claim that reuse of one file descriptor eliminates the symlink-swap window, and
require an fd-relative no-follow open strategy or an equivalent race test.
- Around line 102-104: Update the Type safety description to clarify that
realpath() resolves symlinks and stats.isFile() checks the resolved target:
symlinks to regular files inside the working directory are served, while symlink
escapes are rejected. Remove the claim that all symlinks are rejected.
- Around line 465-475: In the audit report, define which findings count as
active, then reconcile the Findings Summary, Severity Breakdown, and final
status line using that scope. Include active finding #008 in the Medium count,
and align the report totals with FINDINGS-INDEX.md while excluding accepted and
intentional findings from active counts.
Review comments at @agents/security/intel/FINDINGS-INDEX.md:
- Around line 293-296: Update the credential-file remediation recommendation so
it enforces mode 0600 for both newly created and existing files, using a safe
descriptor-based operation; apply the same correction to the duplicate
recommendation in 2026-10-26.md.
Review comments at @agents/security/STATE.md:
- Line 120: Update the finding details in FINDINGS-INDEX.md to match the #009
status in STATE.md: record `$` and backtick escaping as fixed and `!` as the
only missing escape, removing the contradictory outdated implementation
description.
- Line 25: Update the “Last incremental audit” entry in the audit summary to
state “3 new findings (2 MEDIUM, 1 LOW),” reflecting #015’s LOW severity while
preserving the date and other status details.
- Line 45: Reconcile the open-question registry in STATE.md: make the
front-matter count match the IDs in the priority rows, and update the Active
Investigations table so it includes every listed ID. Ensure the count, priority
rows, and table all represent the same authoritative question list.
Review comments at @agents/security/summaries/2026-10-26-executive-summary.md:
- Around line 15-19: Reconcile the count in the summary’s active-findings table:
the listed severity rows total eight, not eleven. Update “Total Active Findings”
to eight unless three additional active findings are verified; if they exist,
include their identifiers and severities in the summary or findings index.
- Line 31: Update the Recommended Fix guidance for fs.writeFileSync to specify
enforcing mode 0600 for both newly created and existing credentials files,
noting that chmod or fchmod is needed because the mode option only applies at
creation.

Correct the TOCTOU assessment before approving the route.
realpath(resolved) runs before open(realPath, "r"). If an agent or other writer replaces realPath between those calls, open() can follow a new symlink outside the working directory. fstat() then validates the opened target, not the path that passed containment. Record this residual race and require an fd-relative, no-follow open strategy or equivalent race test.

Describe the symlink check accurately.
realpath() resolves symlinks, and stats.isFile() checks only the resolved target. A symlink to a regular file inside the working directory is served. The route rejects symlink escapes, not all symlinks.

Reconcile the finding totals across the audit artifacts.

FINDINGS-INDEX.md lists #008 as an active Medium finding and counts 11 active entries because it includes accepted and intentional findings.

Make the permissions fix cover existing credential files.
{ mode: 0o600 } on fs.writeFileSync() only controls the mode when the file is created. The implementation reads an existing credentials file before writing it, so an existing permissive mode remains unchanged.
