A network drop implant is not a web service. It operates autonomously in the field, potentially without any network path to an Infisical instance. Local credential storage is a functional requirement. + +2. Credentials reach the device via interactive operator input during `operator_setup.sh`. They are never present in the source code or git history. + +3. `/opt/net_alerter/.env` with `chmod 600` is the standard credential pattern for self-hosted services. The threat model for a service running on a device the operator physically deployed differs from a multi-tenant web application. + +4. The public repo contains zero hardcoded secrets. Users supply their own Matrix homeserver and token. + +These findings are **downgraded to P3** and accepted without code change. They are documented here for the record. + +--- + +**Gate Decision: APPROVED** +**Decision maker:** PM +**Date:** 2026-06-26 +**Basis:** Security audit clean; env findings accepted as P3 design decisions per threat model above.
