Code Review

This pull request introduces a new Windows signature module, FileOwnershipTakeover, designed to detect file and directory ownership changes using system utilities like takeown.exe, icacls.exe, PowerShell, and secedit.exe. The review feedback highlights several critical improvement opportunities to prevent bypasses and correct logical discrepancies: 1) Fixing a logical bug where high-value path detection for takeown is incorrectly nested inside the bulk-action check; 2) Normalizing path separators (replacing / with \) when checking against high-value target paths to prevent bypasses; and 3) Supporting both forward slash (/) and hyphen (-) argument prefixes for command-line utilities (takeown, icacls, and secedit).

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
