Security Notes

The server's core functionality involves accessing and optionally executing security tests. By default, the `execute_atomic` tool is disabled, which significantly reduces the immediate security risk. When `ART_EXECUTION_ENABLED` is set to `true`, the server can execute commands on the host system via `atomic-operator`. This capability is inherently dangerous and, if exposed to untrusted environments, could lead to system compromise. However, the project explicitly warns users about this risk in the README and logs, advising use only in controlled, isolated environments. Authentication (`ART_AUTH_TOKEN`) is supported for remote deployments, and input validation is implemented for resource paths (`file://documents/{technique_id}`) to prevent path traversal. No hardcoded secrets or obvious malicious patterns were found. The primary security risk arises from user misconfiguration by enabling execution without proper isolation or authentication.
