Salesforce AI Agentforce Testing

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This testing skill is not clearly malicious, but it needs review because its Salesforce credential tooling persists and handles secrets in ways that could expose them or allow local command execution.

Install only if you are comfortable reviewing and constraining the credential workflow. Use a least-privilege Salesforce External Client App, avoid sourcing generated credentials.env files, avoid putting secrets in command-line arguments, validate that domains are real Salesforce org domains before authentication, and do not run automatic fix loops or worker orchestration against production orgs without explicit review.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
  • 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

Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The documentation provides step-by-step instructions showing that setting a custom auth-state variable such as Verified_Check to true can unlock post-auth business topics. This is effectively a recipe for circumventing intended access-control gating, and in the context of an agent-testing skill it could cause teams to build or rely on security controls that are trivially spoofable through user-controlled context.

Anti-Refusal Statement

High
Category
Anti-Refusal
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The documented workflow explicitly encourages sourcing a credentials file into the shell environment, making secrets available to subprocesses and any subsequently launched tooling. In a testing skill context, that increases exposure because many test runners, hooks, and child processes may inherit these credentials unintentionally.

Content

Scanner excerpt · hooks/scripts/credential_manager.py (reported line 40)May include surrounding context.

python
python3 credential_manager.py validate --org-alias {org} --eca-name {eca}

    # Source credentials in shell (export prefix makes vars available to subprocesses)
    source ~/.sfagent/{org}/{eca}/credentials.env

Programmatic usage:
    from credential_manager import load_credentials, validate_credentials, export_env

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

This function writes client credentials to a plaintext file on disk, creating a durable secret store inside a skill whose manifest describes testing functionality rather than credential management. Although file permissions are restricted, plaintext local persistence still increases the risk of compromise through local malware, backups, misconfiguration, multi-user host issues, or later unintended reuse.

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

This code constructs plaintext file contents containing the consumer key and consumer secret with shell-export syntax, which is especially risky because it is optimized for easy propagation into process environments. In the context of an agent-testing skill, this makes secret reuse and accidental leakage more likely than a narrowly scoped testing helper should permit.
