Security Model

This repository is intended for enterprise technology operations teams and uses conservative defaults.

Operational security rules

  • Do not commit secrets, tenant URLs, API tokens, serial number inventories, or employee identifiers.
  • Do not hard-code management credentials in scripts.
  • Prefer exported inventory files, environment variables, or secret managers managed outside this repository.
  • Keep logs useful for audit purposes but redact network addresses unless the operator explicitly opts in.
  • Validate downloaded software with SHA-256 checksums and, when available, code-signing team identifiers.
  • Use temporary working directories and remove them after execution.

Script safety posture

  • inventory and diagnostics scripts are read-only
  • naming and upgrade workflows require explicit --apply or --execute
  • deployment and removal workflows support --dry-run
  • tests use fixtures and temporary directories instead of live enterprise systems

Reporting

If you identify a security issue in one of these examples, open a private report with the maintainer rather than filing a public issue containing sensitive details.
