Sqlcmd hardener

The changes, security properties, caveats, and verification path for the sqlcmd hardener.

Sqlcmd hardener

Run av harden sqlcmd to apply this hardener and av doctor sqlcmd to verify it.

The sqlcmd Hardener installs the reviewed, Developer ID-signed sqlcmd Isotope and moves supported basic-auth passwords from ~/.sqlcmd/sqlconfig into Automic Vault custody. The config retains only user, context, endpoint, and @av marker metadata.

Password reads are bound to the verified sqlcmd Target, selected user profile, endpoint, and complete command. Password creation and deletion use separate approved mutation operations. Custom sqlconfig paths, unsupported authentication, malformed markers, and missing Secret Values fail closed.

Legacy sqlcmd flags, SQLCMD_PASSWORD, SQLCMDPASSWORD, certificates, and credentials supplied outside the default modern sqlconfig remain outside this Hardener's coverage.
