Vander-Mattox Omarchy Security Audit: Outcome v1

Security Audit

Ran a security audit on the vander-mattox MacBook Air (Omarchy Linux). Found and closed the two things that actually mattered today: Docker’s passwordless-root path and a plaintext keyring left behind by system snapshots.

Wednesday 2:39PM

Snapshots hold plaintext copies of the old keyring — sudo snapper list to see what exists.

Still Open

  • Snapshots — hold plaintext copies of the old keyring; sudo snapper list to see what exists.
  • Transcript redaction — the sed command from earlier, after this session ends.
  • HIGH-3 — unsigned Omarchy repo; can draft the upstream issue.
  • HIGH-4 — Apple EFI firmware password needs a macOS Recovery boot.
  • Boot check — confirm the keyring stays locked through autologin next time you reboot.

Decisions around autologin and revocation were saved to memory so a future session doesn’t re-litigate them.

Closed the two things that actually mattered today. The rest can wait for a fresh sitting.

Recap: Audited the MacBook Air for security hardening and closed the two urgent items — Docker’s passwordless-root path and the plaintext keyring. Next: reboot to confirm the keyring stays locked through autologin.
