Harden git clone attack surface for remote scans with defense-in-depth: Layer 1 (all platforms): 8 git config flags disable hooks, symlinks, filter/smudge drivers, fsmonitor, local file protocol. 4 env vars isolate from system/user git config and block interactive prompts. Layer 2 (OS sandbox): macOS sandbox-exec and Linux bubblewrap (bwrap) restrict file writes to only the specific temp directory. bwrap probe-tests availability before use. Graceful fallback on Windows and Ubuntu 24.04+ (git config hardening only). Additional: post-clone 100MB size check, UUID-unique evidence filenames, evidence file cleanup, cleanup guarantee in scan/plugin-audit commands. 32 new tests (1147 total).

/security plugin-audit [path|url]
Audit a Claude Code plugin for security before installation. Accepts local paths or GitHub URLs.
Step 1: Resolve Target
- If
$ARGUMENTScontains--branch <name>→ strip it, setbranch = <name> - If
$ARGUMENTSstarts withhttps://github.com/orgit@github.com:→ Run:node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs clone "<url>" [--branch <branch>]If exit code != 0 → show error to user and STOP Setclone_path= stdout (trimmed),target = clone_pathSetremote_url = <url>for display - Else if
$ARGUMENTSis non-empty →target = $ARGUMENTS,clone_path = null - Else →
target = ".",clone_path = null - Verify
.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonexists at<target>. If not andclone_path != null→ cleanup clone_path first, then tell user this is not a plugin directory and STOP. If not and local → tell user and STOP.
IMPORTANT: Cleanup Guarantee (remote audits)
If clone_path != null, the following cleanup MUST run regardless of audit outcome.
If ANY step between clone and cleanup fails or errors, STILL run cleanup before stopping:
node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs cleanup "<clone_path>"node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs cleanup "<evidence_file>"(ifevidence_fileis set)
Step 1.5: Pre-extraction (remote audits only)
If clone_path != null:
Get temp path: node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs tmppath "plugin-extract.json"
Run: node <plugin-root>/scanners/content-extractor.mjs "<target>" --output-file "<evidence_file>"
If exit code != 0 → set evidence_file = null (fall back to direct scan)
Step 2: Inventory
Read plugin.json (name, version, auto_discover). Glob for commands, agents, hooks, skills, knowledge. Build permission matrix from all allowed-tools and tools declarations. Flag: Bash access, Bash+Write combo, Task (sub-agent spawning), opus for trivial tasks.
Step 3: Analyze Hooks
If hooks/hooks.json exists: parse events, read scripts, classify (block/warn/modify). Flag: state modification, network calls, non-CLAUDE env vars, SessionStart hooks.
Step 4: Scan Content
Spawn subagent_type: "llm-security:skill-scanner-agent", model: "sonnet":
If evidence_file is set:
EVIDENCE-PACKAGE MODE. Read: <evidence_file> Read: <plugin-root>/knowledge/skill-threat-patterns.md Analyze all sections. DO NOT use Read/Glob/Grep on the target directory. Check all 7 threat categories. Return findings: file, severity, OWASP ref.
Otherwise:
Scan plugin at <path>: commands/.md, agents/.md, hooks/scripts/, skills//SKILL.md, knowledge/**/*.md. Read: <plugin-root>/knowledge/skill-threat-patterns.md Check all 7 threat categories. Return findings: file, severity, OWASP ref.
Step 5: Report
Output: Plugin metadata, component inventory, permission matrix, hook analysis, security findings, trust verdict.
Verdict: Install (0 critical/high, transparent hooks) | Review (high findings or unclear permissions) | Do Not Install (critical, exfiltration, persistence, or hidden instructions).
Step 6: Cleanup (only if remote)
If clone_path != null:
Run: node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs cleanup "<clone_path>"
If cleanup fails → warn: "Could not remove temp dir <clone_path> — remove manually."
If evidence_file != null:
Run: node <plugin-root>/scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs cleanup "<evidence_file>"
