This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

The static alerts are false positives caused by documented Azure CLI examples, Markdown code formatting, standard error redirection, and expected read-only quota queries. Two semantic risks remain: the scripts install an Azure CLI extension without confirmation, and the Bash script embeds Azure response data directly into Python source.

Confirmed security concerns (2)

RISK-001 Medium
scripts/check-quota.sh:21-24scripts/check-quota.ps1:32-36
Automatic Azure CLI Extension Installation
Both scripts install the quota extension automatically when absent. This downloads code and changes the local Azure CLI environment without explicit confirmation.
The installation commands and automatic branches are explicit in both scripts.
RISK-002 Medium
scripts/check-quota.sh:67-83
Azure Response Embedded in Python Source
The Bash script interpolates quota usage JSON into a triple-quoted Python source string. Crafted response content could break the string and alter executed Python.
Direct interpolation into the python3 -c program is visible, although exploitation requires control over Azure CLI response content.

Remediation

Suggested fixes recorded by this audit. Applying them is the maintainer’s responsibility.

  1. FIX-001
    Medium
    The quota scripts automatically install the Azure CLI quota extension.
    Require explicit user confirmation before extension installation, or exit with a clear prerequisite command.
  2. FIX-002
    Medium
    The Bash script interpolates Azure JSON output into a Python source string.
    Pass both JSON documents through standard input, environment variables, or files and parse them only as data.
  3. FIX-003
    Medium
    Quota increase guidance does not require confirmation before a cloud account change.
    Preview the subscription, scope, resource, and requested limit, then require explicit confirmation before running update or create commands.
