Allow-list filter @system-service excludes some syscalls Go's runtime + restic's file scanner reach for; init job died immediately with "bad system call (core dumped)". CapabilityBounding already constrains what root can do; the Protect*/Restrict* toggles still cover network / kernel / mount / namespace. Net effect on the threat model is negligible vs the operational cost. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# The agent runs as root. A fleet-backup tool needs to read every
|
|
# file on the system regardless of DAC permissions; running as a
|
|
# dedicated unprivileged user means either silent skips on /home,
|
|
# /root, /var/lib/<other-daemons>, or operators having to add the
|
|
# service user to every group whose files they want backed up. Both
|
|
# are worse than the threat model already implies (the agent holds
|
|
# repo credentials, executes arbitrary restic, and runs operator-
|
|
# defined hooks — its blast radius is already large).
|
|
#
|
|
# The mitigation is aggressive systemd sandboxing of the root
|
|
# process: drop all capabilities except the few we need, deny
|
|
# writes outside our state dirs, and forbid privilege escalation.
