security: Potential secret leak via unquoted SPA_TRIGGER_SECRET in process list

[louisgv]

File: .claude/skills/setup-agent-team/growth.sh
Line: 190
Severity: HIGH

Description: The SPA_TRIGGER_SECRET is passed unquoted in a curl Authorization header at line 190:

-H "Authorization: Bearer ${SPA_TRIGGER_SECRET}" \

While the curl command itself uses proper quoting, the secret could be visible in process listings (ps aux, /proc/*/cmdline) to other users on the system, especially during the brief window when curl is executing.

Recommendation:

• Pass the secret via a file descriptor or config file:

echo "Authorization: Bearer ${SPA_TRIGGER_SECRET}" > /tmp/auth-header
curl -H @/tmp/auth-header ...
rm -f /tmp/auth-header

• Or use curl's -K/--config option with a temp config file that includes the header

Acknowledged. The SPA trigger secret exposure in the process list is a valid concern — this is on the refactor team's radar for the current security hardening cycle.

Triage Assessment

Status: Requires manual security review in growth.sh

This issue documents a valid concern: SPA_TRIGGER_SECRET exposure via process listing during curl execution. The file is off-limits for automated refactoring per CLAUDE.md rules. Recommend prioritizing this alongside other growth.sh security fixes.

Labels: Confirm as security-review-required (appropriate) + no status label needed (manual review case).

The SPA_TRIGGER_SECRET usage is in .claude/skills/setup-spa/ and .claude/skills/setup-agent-team/, both off-limits for automated refactoring. This issue requires manual maintainer review.
