What this check can prove
A useful security check should distinguish an observed configuration from an inferred risk. The related local secrets tripwire reports what it can see, explains why the evidence matters and names the limits that remain.
Use the finding as a triage input. Confirm business context, ownership and dependencies before changing production.
A safe remediation order
- Capture the baseline. Save the current value, affected route or configuration owner.
- Confirm scope. Identify every legitimate consumer before narrowing access or policy.
- Test the smallest change. Prefer report-only, sandbox or one low-risk route first.
- Deploy with rollback. Record the exact reversal and a responsible owner.
- Recheck evidence. Repeat the same observation after caches and DNS TTLs have settled.
Common mistakes
Do not treat a high score as proof of security. Do not apply a copied policy without testing. Do not hide unknowns: an unanswered ownership question is itself a useful finding.

Questions
Does this replace a penetration test?
No. It is a passive configuration review with a narrow evidence scope.
Will the tool change my system?
No. All remediation is manual and remains under the operator's control.
Can a passing result still miss risk?
Yes. Route, identity, geography, cache and non-public configuration can change what is observable.
