Sensitive-path guards

Finder blocks reading well-known secret files even though it can otherwise browse the whole filesystem.

What's blocked

  • ~/.ssh and private keys
  • ~/.aws/credentials
  • *.pem / *.key and similar key material

Attempts to list, read, download, or view these return "Restricted due to security reasons" and are written to the audit log.

Important
NuxPanel is a powerful admin surface. Restrict network access to it (security group / firewall to your own IP, or an SSH tunnel) and use a strong admin password.
