Api Gateway Tmp

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 14, 2026 · 11:09 PM UTC
• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

This skill is a disclosed API gateway, but it combines very broad third-party account control with unsafe guidance to print a reusable API key.

Install only if you trust Maton with brokered access to the services you connect and you are comfortable giving the agent direct API-level authority for those services. Use least-privilege OAuth/API scopes where possible, confirm any write/delete/payment/public-posting actions before execution, and do not print or paste MATON_API_KEY; use a presence check and rotate the key if it may have been exposed.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review
• Embedded Malicious Code: Ships malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY

text

### Technical Analysis

The troubleshooting procedure instructs users to print the complete `MATON_API_KEY` value. This is a reusable bearer credential used to authenticate requests to Maton-controlled gateway and connection-management endpoints.

Printing the key can expose it through shell history or transcripts, agent conversation logs, CI/CD output, terminal recording, screen sharing, support bundles, or copied diagnostic output. Bearer credentials do not require additional proof of possession, so an observer who captures the value may reuse it directly.

The gateway architecture and transmission of service data through Maton are explicitly declared and necessary for the Skill's managed-OAuth functionality. The vulnerability is not the use of the gateway itself, but the unnecessary disclosure of the complete gateway credential during troubleshooting.

### Attack Path

1. A user encounters an authentication problem and follows the documented troubleshooting procedure.
2. The user executes `echo $MATON_API_KEY`.
3. The complete bearer credential appears in terminal output.
4. The output is retained in an agent transcript, terminal recording, CI log, support report, screenshot, or another observable channel.
5. An attacker obtains the exposed value.
6. The attacker supplies it as `Authorization: Bearer <stolen-key>` to `gateway.maton.ai` or `ctrl.maton.ai`.
7. If the key remains valid, the attacker can interact with resources available through the victim's active Maton connections.

### Impact Assessment

A stolen key could allow unauthorized use of the victim's Maton

Remediation Suggestions

Replace the command with a presence check that never reveals the value:

bash

if [ -n "${MATON_API_KEY:-}" ]; then
  echo "MATON_API_KEY is set"
else
  echo "MATON_API_KEY is not set"
fi

Additional hardening measures:

• Explicitly warn users never to print, paste, log, or include the key in support requests.
• Redact bearer tokens from application, gateway, CI/CD, and agent logs.
• Provide a server-side credential-validation endpoint or command that returns only validity status and non-sensitive metadata.
• Use short-lived or narrowly scoped credentials where supported.
• Document immediate key revocation and rotation procedures for suspected exposure.
• Review existing transcripts and diagnostic logs for previously disclosed keys and rotate any affected credentials.
