Sprite 7162f9c236 refactor: secure temp files with chmod 600 before writing credentials
Added chmod 600 to all temporary files that contain sensitive data (API keys, tokens, configs):
- ENV_TEMP: 35 files (all agent scripts across 5 clouds)
- OPENCLAW_CONFIG_TEMP: 5 files (already done in previous commit)
- SETTINGS_TEMP: 5 files (Claude Code settings)
- GLOBAL_STATE_TEMP: 5 files (Claude Code global state)
- DOTENV_TEMP: 5 files (NanoClaw .env files)

Total: 55 temp files secured

This prevents race conditions where sensitive data could be read by other users
between mktemp creation (mode 600 by default) and data being written.

Security hardening for task #23.

Security

API Token Storage

Spawn stores cloud provider API tokens and OpenRouter API keys locally in JSON files at ~/.config/spawn/:

  • hetzner.json - Hetzner Cloud API token
  • digitalocean.json - DigitalOcean API token
  • vultr.json - Vultr API key
  • linode.json - Linode API token
  • OpenRouter API keys stored in shell config files (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc)

Security Posture:

  • All token files are created with chmod 600 (user read/write only)
  • Tokens are stored in plaintext - not encrypted at rest
  • Security relies on filesystem permissions and OS user isolation

Recommendations:

  1. Protect your user account - Use strong passwords, disk encryption, and secure your SSH keys
  2. Use dedicated API tokens - Create tokens specifically for Spawn with minimal required permissions
  3. Rotate tokens regularly - Revoke and regenerate API tokens periodically
  4. Multi-user systems - On shared machines, be aware that root users can read these files
  5. Backup security - Ensure backups of ~/.config/ are encrypted

Why plaintext?

  • Simplicity and compatibility across all Unix-like systems
  • File permissions (600) provide adequate protection for single-user machines
  • Encryption at rest would require key management, adding complexity without significant security benefit for typical use cases
  • Cloud providers recommend similar approaches for CLI tools (AWS CLI, gcloud, etc.)

Alternative approaches:

  • For higher security requirements, consider using environment variables instead of saved tokens
  • Pass OPENROUTER_API_KEY, HCLOUD_TOKEN, etc. as environment variables on each run
  • Use OS credential stores (Keychain on macOS, Secret Service on Linux) - requires additional dependencies
