Security audit

cargo-cdk

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Cargo workspace-as-code guide whose powerful deploy and destroy commands match its stated purpose, with caution needed around destructive operations and CI tokens.

Install only if you intend to manage Cargo resources as code. Before deploy, prune, or destroy, run a plan, confirm the selected workspace, protect CI/API tokens as secrets, and treat destroy --all as deleting all state-managed resources in that workspace.

Finding
The recipe documents `cargo-ai cdk destroy --all` as part of normal iteration flow without an explicit warning, confirmation guidance, or emphasis on irreversible deletion of deployed workspace resources. In an automation/infra-as-code context, readers may copy commands directly, so presenting a bulk-destroy command without safeguards increases the risk of accidental destructive actions against real staging or production environments.
