Set permissions on cache directory #1533

Closed tuxudo closed 1 year ago

tuxudo commented 1 year ago

Sets permissions on cache directory to 600 drw------- root wheel to prevent non-admin users from accessing potentially sensitive cache files.

Not sure if this is a good idea, munkireport may not run as root

tuxudo commented 1 year ago

Most (all?) the modules are written in such a way that assume it is run as root or a user with root privileges, due to the higher level of access needed by some of the commands used by them. munkireport-runner (in MR 5.8+) has a check in itself to check that it's run as root that prevents a non-admin from doing anything other than getting the current installed version of MunkiReport: https://github.com/munkireport/munkireport-php/blob/5.x/public/assets/client_installer/payload/usr/local/munkireport/munkireport-runner#L73.

The cache directory has the current permissions of drwxr-xr-x root wheel requiring that as currently written munkireport-runner must be run as root to write to that directory, but allowing anyone to read the files within.

Ok, makes sense!
