SEC412 / CLAUDE-WGET-PERMISSION ​

SEC412 flags shared Claude settings when permissions.allow grants the exact wildcard permission Bash(wget:*).

Why It Matters ​

Granting blanket wget execution in a shared AI policy makes arbitrary network fetches part of the default team execution surface. That is a broad and easily copied permission shape for remote download workflows, even when the project does not need direct unrestricted wget access by default.

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 string Bash(wget:*)

Clean Cases ​

These stay clean:

  • more specific permissions such as Bash(wget https://example.com/archive.tgz)
  • settings files that do not grant wget at all
  • fixture-like examples under test or fixture paths

Example Trigger ​

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

Safer Example ​

json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": ["Bash(wget https://example.com/archive.tgz)", "Read(*)"]
  }
}

How To Fix ​

Remove shared Bash(wget:*) permissions or replace them with a narrower reviewed command pattern that keeps direct network downloads under explicit user control.
