Example Settings Review

Change to project-scoped:

Read://* grants read access to entire filesystem including:

• ~/.ssh/ (SSH keys)
• ~/.aws/ (AWS credentials)
• /etc/ (system config)
• All user documents and personal files

Scope to project directory only per principle of least privilege.

.claude/settings.json:8 - CRITICAL: Dangerous command auto-approved

Current:

REMOVE THIS IMMEDIATELY

rm -rf performs recursive deletion without confirmation. Auto-approving this command creates risk of accidental data loss.

If file deletion is needed frequently, scope to specific safe directories:

Or require manual approval for all rm commands.

Reference: Security best practices - Dangerous commands

.claude/settings.json:12 - IMPORTANT: Permissions reference sensitive directory

Current:

Remove access to .ssh directory containing private keys.

If SSH config reading is required (rare), scope to specific config file:

Never grant blanket access to directories containing credentials.

Summary Comment

Overall Assessment: BLOCK - Critical Security Issues

CRITICAL issues must be fixed immediately:

• Overly broad Read://* permission
• Auto-approved rm -rf command
• Access to .ssh directory

These issues expose significant security risks:

• Potential data loss from dangerous commands
• Exposure of SSH private keys and credentials
• Access to sensitive system files

Cannot approve until all CRITICAL issues are resolved.

After fixes, re-review the scoped permissions to ensure they follow principle of least privilege.
