The application uses a system command to hide a file containing encryption keys on macOS. The file path is fixed and not influenced by user input, so this is a normal operation for a local application and does not pose a security risk.
Technical evidence
Scanner reason: OpenGrep matched static-analysis rule tavernkeeper.dynamic-execution.node-shell in this repository.
Contextual assessment: The code uses execSync to run a macOS shell command (chflags) to hide a local file. The file path passed to the command is a hardcoded application path (SECRET_FILE), not user-controlled input. This is a legitimate attempt to hide a sensitive encryption key file on the local filesystem.
The application uses a system command to hide a file containing encryption keys on Windows. The file path is fixed and not influenced by user input, so this is a normal operation for a local application and does not pose a security risk.
Technical evidence
Scanner reason: OpenGrep matched static-analysis rule tavernkeeper.dynamic-execution.node-shell in this repository.
Contextual assessment: The code uses execSync to run a Windows shell command (attrib) to hide a local file. The file path passed to the command is a hardcoded application path (SECRET_FILE), not user-controlled input. This is a legitimate attempt to hide a sensitive encryption key file on the local filesystem.
The application uses a system command to restrict access to a file containing encryption keys on Linux. The file path is fixed and not influenced by user input, so this is a normal operation for a local application and does not pose a security risk.
Technical evidence
Scanner reason: OpenGrep matched static-analysis rule tavernkeeper.dynamic-execution.node-shell in this repository.
Contextual assessment: The code uses execSync to run a Linux shell command (chmod) to restrict permissions on a local file. The file path passed to the command is a hardcoded application path (SECRET_FILE), not user-controlled input. This is a legitimate attempt to protect a sensitive encryption key file on the local filesystem.
