Filesystem Write Access

What Foo Guard detects

One or more tools can write or modify filesystem resources.

When this rule triggers

a tool declares both filesystem access and resource modification.

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

Limit writable paths and filesystem permissions. Keep application code, credentials, and other agents’ files outside the writable area.

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.
