Bring Recipes

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This browse-only Bring recipe skill is purpose-aligned, but users should treat the requested Bring password environment variable as a sensitive secret.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the tool access to your Bring account for recipe browsing. Prefer setting BRING_EMAIL and BRING_PASSWORD only for the current terminal session, do not commit them to files, and avoid storing the password in shared shell profiles or logs.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The documentation tells users to place Bring! account credentials directly into environment variables without any warning about secure handling, credential lifetime, or safer alternatives. While environment variables are common for CLI auth, they can be exposed through shell history, process inspection, CI logs, crash reports, or inherited subprocess environments, making this a real secret-handling weakness in the skill guidance.
