Administrative Permission

What Foo Guard detects
One or more permissions grant administrative privileges.
When this rule triggers
a permission explicitly declares administrative: true.
Foo Guard evaluates the normalized configuration supplied to the scanner. A finding describes configuration risk; it does not establish that an attack occurred. An absent finding does not prove that an undeclared capability is safe.
How to fix
Replace administrator privileges with a dedicated role limited to the agent’s task. Keep exceptional administrator workflows separate and reviewed.
Verify the change
Update the actual agent configuration and the underlying permissions or controls, then run the scanner again. Inspect the finding’s evidence path to confirm the intended setting changed. Do not clear a finding by changing a declaration that no longer reflects the deployed agent.
