## Priority 1: High-Risk Issues (Complete within 7 days)

### 1.1 Remote Code Execution via curl | bash

**Risk Level:** HIGH
**Impact:** Arbitrary code execution
**Effort:** 2-4 hours

**Files to Fix:**

- `/home/acedanger/shell/setup/debian-patches.sh` (Line 176)
- `/home/acedanger/shell/setup/setup.sh` (Lines 552, 564)

**Remediation Steps:**

1. **For debian-patches.sh:**

   ```bash
   # Replace line 176:
   # curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acedanger/shell/main/bootstrap.sh | bash

   # With secure download and execution:
   TEMP_BOOTSTRAP=$(mktemp)
   if curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acedanger/shell/main/bootstrap.sh -o "$TEMP_BOOTSTRAP"; then
       # Optional: verify checksum if available
       bash "$TEMP_BOOTSTRAP"
       rm -f "$TEMP_BOOTSTRAP"
   else
       echo "Failed to download bootstrap script"
       exit 1
   fi
   ```

2. **For setup.sh (zoxide installation):**

   ```bash
   # Replace line 552:
   # curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/main/install.sh | bash

   # With secure installation:
   TEMP_ZOXIDE=$(mktemp)
   if curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/main/install.sh -o "$TEMP_ZOXIDE"; then
       # Optional: verify known good checksum
       bash "$TEMP_ZOXIDE"
       rm -f "$TEMP_ZOXIDE"
   else
       echo "Failed to download zoxide installer"
       exit 1
   fi
   ```

3. **For setup.sh (nvm installation):**

   ```bash
   # Replace line 564:
   # curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash

   # With secure installation:
   TEMP_NVM=$(mktemp)
   if curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh -o "$TEMP_NVM"; then
       # Optional: verify checksum against known good hash
       bash "$TEMP_NVM"
       rm -f "$TEMP_NVM"
   else
       echo "Failed to download nvm installer"
       exit 1
   fi
   ```

**Testing Requirements:**

- Test installation processes in isolated environment
- Verify all dependent functionality continues to work
- Run security scan to confirm fix

**Acceptance Criteria:**

- [ ] No direct piping of remote content to bash
- [ ] Downloaded scripts verified before execution
- [ ] Proper error handling implemented
- [ ] Security test passes

## Priority 2: Medium-Risk Issues (Complete within 14 days)

### 2.1 Excessive Privilege Usage

**Risk Level:** MEDIUM-HIGH
**Impact:** Privilege escalation, security boundary violations
**Effort:** 4-6 hours

**Files to Review:**

- `/home/acedanger/shell/setup/startup.sh` (Lines 45, 46, 65, 66)
- Various Plex scripts with extensive sudo usage

**Remediation Steps:**

1. **startup.sh permissions fix:**

   ```bash
   # Replace chmod 777 with appropriate permissions
   # Line 46: sudo chmod -R 777 /logs
   sudo chmod -R 755 /logs

   # Line 65: sudo chmod -R 777 /logs
   sudo chmod -R 755 /logs

   # Ensure log files are 644
   find /logs -type f -exec sudo chmod 644 {} \;
   ```

2. **Plex scripts sudo optimization:**
   - Identify minimum required sudo operations
   - Group sudo operations to reduce frequency
   - Use service-specific users where possible
   - Document privilege requirements

**Testing Requirements:**

- Verify all functionality with reduced privileges
- Test in restricted environment
- Confirm no privilege escalation vulnerabilities

**Acceptance Criteria:**

- [ ] No usage of 777 permissions
- [ ] Minimal sudo usage documented
- [ ] Service-specific users implemented where possible
- [ ] Privilege requirements documented

### 2.2 Input Validation Enhancement

**Risk Level:** MEDIUM
**Impact:** Path traversal, injection attacks
**Effort:** 3-4 hours per script

**Scripts Requiring Enhanced Validation:**

- Docker deployment scripts
- User-facing setup scripts
- File operation utilities

**Remediation Steps:**

1. **Implement input validation functions:**

   ```bash
   # Add to common utilities or each script
   validate_path() {
       local path="$1"
       # Check for path traversal attempts
       if [[ "$path" =~ \.\./|^/etc|^/usr/bin|^/bin ]]; then
           echo "ERROR: Invalid path detected: $path"
           return 1
       fi
       return 0
   }

   validate_docker_image() {
       local image="$1"
       if [[ ! "$image" =~ ^[a-zA-Z0-9._/-]+:[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$ ]]; then
           echo "ERROR: Invalid Docker image format: $image"
           return 1
       fi
       return 0
   }
   ```

2. **Apply validation to all user inputs**
3. **Add bounds checking for numerical inputs**
4. **Sanitize file paths consistently**

## Priority 3: Maintenance and Monitoring (Complete within 30 days)

### 3.1 Automated Security Scanning

**Effort:** 2-3 hours setup + ongoing maintenance

**Implementation Steps:**

   ```yaml
   # .github/workflows/security.yml
   name: Security Scan
   on: [push, pull_request]
   jobs:
     shellcheck:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
