SEC388 / CLAUDE-GIT-STASH-PERMISSION

SEC388 flags shared Claude settings when permissions.allow grants the exact token Bash(git stash:*).

Why It Matters

git stash can hide in-progress work, rewrite the local working state, and make review harder when broad stash authority is inherited through a shared AI policy. This is safer as a narrower reviewed workflow than as a blanket shared permission.

Trigger Shape

The rule triggers only when all of these are true:

  • the file is a detected Claude settings surface
  • the path is not fixture-like
  • permissions.allow contains the exact token Bash(git stash:*)

Clean Cases

These stay clean:

  • more specific command examples such as Bash(git stash push -u)
  • unrelated Git permissions like Bash(git status)
  • fixture-like examples under test or fixture paths

Example Trigger

json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": ["Bash(git stash:*)", "Read(*)"]
  }
}

Safer Example

json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": ["Bash(git status)", "Read(*)"]
  }
}

How To Fix

Remove shared Bash(git stash:*) permissions, or replace them with a narrower reviewed workflow that does not grant broad stash authority by default.
