Scan details
- Findings
- Hand review 2026-11-01: Triage: runs shell commands by design; loads instructions from files/remote docs. Credential-source sweep (browser cookies, Keychain, app token files, exfil hosts) found nothing; no evidence of data theft in the stored content.
- reads sensitive local files (keys, .env, cookies): "…internal **/*.pem **/*.key **/open-dots.env # Git and editors .git .gith…"
- asks for overly broad permissions: "…here in each part (including `sudo git`, `env X=1 git`, `bash -c…"
- reads environment variables (where API keys live) in frontend/next.config.ts: "…ild exactly as it was. const basePath = process.env.OD_BASE_PATH ?? ""; const nextConfig: …"
