SECURITY

Security considerations

PANTAW reduces operational risk through deterministic, read-only collection and explicit authorization boundaries.

Runtime account

Use a dedicated unprivileged Linux account. Grant only the procfs, sysfs, systemd-manager and device visibility required by selected collectors. Do not use unrestricted root.

Commands

The shared helper uses explicit argument vectors, shell=False, captured output, non-raising exit handling and mandatory finite timeouts. Collectors authorize only their documented fixed read-only commands.

Files and audit

Restrict configuration, SOP, state, log, SQLite and JSONL permissions. Avoid symlink ambiguity, keep secrets out of configuration, and protect audit data as operational inventory.

Public/private boundary

This portal contains static product information only. It cannot execute PANTAW, access node files, query private audit databases, read logs or control systemd.
