Workstation Security Audit

Run these checks with run_in_terminal or bash. Report every finding with a severity (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / INFO / PASS) and a concrete fix. Summarize results in a table at the end.

1. macOS System Security

/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate 2>/dev/null
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getstealthmode 2>/dev/null
fdesetup status 2>/dev/null
csrutil status 2>/dev/null
spctl --status 2>/dev/null

Check	Expected	If failing	Severity
Firewall	enabled	System Settings → Network → Firewall	HIGH
Stealth mode	on	sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --setstealthmode on	MEDIUM
FileVault	On	System Settings → Privacy & Security → FileVault	CRITICAL
SIP	enabled	Boot Recovery → csrutil enable	CRITICAL
Gatekeeper	assessments enabled	System Settings → Privacy & Security → Allow apps from App Store and identified developers	HIGH

Additional OS Hardening

1. Automatic security updates — must be enabled:

   softwareupdate --schedule 2>/dev/null
   defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticallyInstallMacOSUpdates 2>/dev/null
   defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CriticalUpdateInstall 2>/dev/null
   defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload 2>/dev/null
   

   CriticalUpdateInstall and AutomaticDownload should return 1. If not → MEDIUM. Fix: System Settings → General → Software Update → Automatic Updates.

2. Screen lock — must require password immediately:

   sysadminctl -screenLock status 2>/dev/null
   

   If not immediate → MEDIUM. Fix: System Settings → Lock Screen → Require password immediately.

3. Remote Login (SSH server) — should be off unless needed (requires admin):

   sudo systemsetup -getremotelogin 2>/dev/null || echo "Requires admin — check System Settings → General → Sharing → Remote Login"
   

   If "On" → MEDIUM. Fix: System Settings → General → Sharing → disable Remote Login.

4. Login items and LaunchAgents — review for unexpected persistence:

   ls ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ 2>/dev/null
   ls /Library/LaunchAgents/ 2>/dev/null
   

   Flag unknown or suspicious entries → MEDIUM.

2. Nav Platform Security

These checks are specific to Nav developer machines connected to the NAIS platform.

Note: Only check the tools listed below. Missing optional developer tools (Copilot CLI, nav-pilot, etc.) are not security findings and should not be reported.

1. naisdevice — must be installed and healthy:

   ls /Applications/naisdevice.app 2>/dev/null && echo "INSTALLED" || echo "NOT INSTALLED"
   

   Not installed → HIGH. Fix: brew install --cask nais/tap/naisdevice.

2. Kolide agent — must be enrolled and running:

   ps aux | grep -i kolide | grep -v grep | head -3
   ls /private/var/kolide-k2/ 2>/dev/null
   

   Not running → HIGH. Fix: Enroll at https://auth.kolide.com/device/registrations/new. Resolve any Kolide issues flagged in Slack.

3. GitHub CLI — check auth state:

   gh auth status 2>/dev/null
   

   Not logged in or expired → MEDIUM. Fix: gh auth login.

4. Security scanning tools — should be installed:

   which trivy gitleaks zizmor 2>/dev/null
   

   Missing tools → INFO. Fix: brew install trivy gitleaks zizmor.

5. gcloud authentication — check for active credentials:

   gcloud auth list 2>/dev/null | head -5
   

   Review active accounts — ensure only your Nav identity is active.

3. SSH Configuration

1. Check ~/.ssh/ directory permissions — must be 700:

   stat -f "%Sp %p" ~/.ssh 2>/dev/null
   

2. Check private key permissions — must be 600:

   find ~/.ssh -type f -name "id_*" ! -name "*.pub" -exec stat -f "%Sp %p %N" {} \;
   

3. Check SSH key algorithm strength — weak keys are HIGH:

   for key in ~/.ssh/id_*; do
     [ -f "$key" ] && [[ "$key" != *.pub ]] && ssh-keygen -l -f "$key" 2>/dev/null
   done
   

   RSA < 3072 bits → HIGH. DSA → CRITICAL (deprecated). Ed25519 or ECDSA → PASS.
4. SSH private keys should be encrypted — unencrypted keys are HIGH:

   for key in ~/.ssh/id_*; do
     if [ -f "$key" ] && [[ "$key" != *.pub ]]; then
       ssh-keygen -y -P "" -f "$key" &>/dev/null && echo "Unencrypted key: $key"
     fi
   done
   

   Any reported key is not encrypted. Fix: set a passphrase on the key(s), manage them in your password manager, or use a tool like Secretive.
5. Check for ForwardAgent yes — HIGH if enabled for untrusted hosts:

   grep -n "ForwardAgent" ~/.ssh/config 2>/dev/null
   

   Fix: remove ForwardAgent yes; use ssh -A <host> only when needed.
6. Check for StrictHostKeyChecking no — HIGH if set globally:

   grep -n "StrictHostKeyChecking" ~/.ssh/config 2>/dev/null
   

4. Git Configuration

1. Credential helper — osxkeychain or manager is secure; store is HIGH (plaintext); cache is MEDIUM:

   git config --global credential.helper
   

2. Plaintext credentials — must not exist (CRITICAL):

   ls -la ~/.git-credentials ~/.netrc 2>/dev/null
   

3. Commit signing — recommended (INFO if missing):

   git config --global commit.gpgsign
   

4. TLS verification — must not be false (CRITICAL):

   git config --global http.sslVerify
   

5. Pre-commit hooks — check for secret scanners (gitleaks, detect-secrets):

   git config --global core.hooksPath
   

5. Credential Files

1. Sensitive files must be 600 (owner-only). Check each that exists:

   for f in ~/.npmrc ~/.yarnrc.yml ~/.kube/config ~/.docker/config.json \
            ~/.pulumi/credentials.json ~/.terraform.d/credentials.tfrc.json \
            ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml ~/.aws/credentials ~/.azure/accessTokens.json \
            ~/.netrc; do
     [ -f "$f" ] && stat -f "%Sp  %N" "$f"
   done
   

   Any file with group/other read → HIGH. Fix: chmod 600 <file>.

2. Scan for plaintext tokens (CRITICAL if found):

   grep -l "authToken=ghp_\|authToken=npm_\|authToken=glpat-\|_password=" ~/.npmrc 2>/dev/null
   grep -l "npmAuthToken:" ~/.yarnrc.yml 2>/dev/null
   grep -l "password" ~/.pypirc ~/.netrc 2>/dev/null
   

   Fix: remove hardcoded tokens; use environment variables or credential helpers.

3. Cloud provider credentials — JSON files in ~/.config/gcloud/, ~/.aws/, ~/.azure/ should be 600:

   find ~/.config/gcloud ~/.aws ~/.azure -name "*.json" -o -name "credentials" 2>/dev/null | \
     xargs -I{} stat -f "%Sp  %N" {} 2>/dev/null
   

6. Shell Configuration

1. History files must be 600:

   stat -f "%Sp %p" ~/.zsh_history ~/.bash_history 2>/dev/null
   

2. History privacy — sensitive commands should be excludable (INFO if not set):
   • zsh: grep HIST_IGNORE_SPACE ~/.zshrc
   • bash: grep HISTCONTROL ~/.bashrc
3. Secrets in shell profiles — scan for hardcoded API keys, tokens, passwords (HIGH if found):

   grep -nE '^\s*export\s+\w*(API_KEY|SECRET|_TOKEN|PASSWORD|AWS_SECRET|GITHUB_TOKEN|NPM_TOKEN|PRIVATE_KEY)\s*=' \
     ~/.zshrc ~/.zprofile ~/.zshenv ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile ~/.profile 2>/dev/null
   

4. Remote code execution patterns — curl | bash in profiles (MEDIUM):

   grep -nE 'curl\s.*\|\s*(ba)?sh|wget\s.*\|\s*(ba)?sh' \
     ~/.zshrc ~/.zprofile ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile 2>/dev/null
   

   Note: eval "$(brew shellenv)" and eval "$(mise activate)" are standard and safe.

7. Network Exposure

1. Services listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0) — flag anything unexpected (MEDIUM):

   lsof -i -P -n 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN | grep -v '127.0.0.1\|::1' | awk '{print $1, $9}' | sort -u
   

   Known safe: rapportd (Apple Handoff), Tailscale/IPNExtension (VPN), ControlCenter (AirPlay — disable if unused). Dev servers (node, python) on 0.0.0.0 should bind to 127.0.0.1 instead.

2. Firewall exceptions — review for stale entries:

   /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --listapps 2>/dev/null | head -1
   

   Flag if >30 exceptions (INFO). Remove stale entries in System Settings → Firewall → Options.

8. Package Managers & Developer Tools

1. npm — check TLS and script settings:

   npm config get strict-ssl 2>/dev/null
   npm config get ignore-scripts 2>/dev/null
   

   strict-ssl=false → HIGH (TLS disabled). ignore-scripts absent → INFO.

2. pip — check for TLS bypass:

   python3 -m pip config list 2>/dev/null | grep -E 'trusted-host|index-url'
   

   trusted-host set → HIGH (TLS bypassed). Custom index-url not pointing to pypi.org → MEDIUM.

3. Go — check checksum verification:

   go env GONOSUMCHECK GONOSUMDB GOFLAGS 2>/dev/null
   

   Non-empty GONOSUMCHECK → MEDIUM (checksum verification bypassed).

4. Docker — check for plaintext credentials:

   cat ~/.docker/config.json 2>/dev/null | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print('credHelpers:', d.get('credHelpers',{})); print('credsStore:', d.get('credsStore','')); print('auths:', list(d.get('auths',{}).keys()))" 2>/dev/null
   

   Plaintext auth or password in auths → HIGH. Using credHelpers or credsStore → PASS.

5. Homebrew — list third-party taps for awareness:

   brew tap 2>/dev/null | grep -v '^homebrew/'
   

   Review for unexpected taps → INFO.

6. VS Code — list extensions for review:

   code --list-extensions 2>/dev/null | wc -l
   

   Review for extensions from unknown publishers → INFO.

9. Outdated Software

Outdated tools can contain known vulnerabilities. Check each package manager for pending updates.

1. Homebrew formulae — check for outdated packages:

   brew outdated 2>/dev/null
   

   Security-critical tools outdated (trivy, gitleaks, zizmor, git) → MEDIUM. Others → INFO. Fix: brew upgrade.

2. Homebrew casks — check for outdated applications:

   brew outdated --cask 2>/dev/null
   

   Outdated browsers or naisdevice → MEDIUM. Others → INFO. Fix: brew upgrade --cask.

3. npm global packages:

   npm outdated -g 2>/dev/null
   

   Outdated → INFO. Fix: npm update -g.

4. pip packages:

   pip3 list --outdated 2>/dev/null
   

   Outdated → INFO. Fix: pip3 install --upgrade <package>.

5. mise/asdf runtimes:

   mise outdated 2>/dev/null
   

   Outdated → INFO. Fix: mise upgrade.

6. macOS system updates:

   softwareupdate -l 2>/dev/null
   

   Pending security updates → MEDIUM. Other updates → INFO. Fix: softwareupdate -ia.

Report Format

Summarize all findings in a table:

| Severity | Category    | Finding                              | Remediation           |
|----------|-------------|--------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| CRITICAL | Credentials | Plaintext token in ~/.npmrc          | Remove token, use env |
| HIGH     | SSH         | ForwardAgent enabled for 'myhost'    | Remove from config    |
| PASS     | FileVault   | Disk encryption enabled              |                       |

End with an overall verdict: CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / GOOD based on the worst finding, and a count summary (e.g., "0 critical, 1 high, 2 medium, 18 passed").
