NeoDB

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This NeoDB skill is purpose-aligned, but its setup script exposes and stores account credentials in ways users should review before installing.

Install only if you are comfortable granting read/write access to your NeoDB account. If you run the setup script, treat the displayed token and scripts/.credentials.json as secrets, delete or lock down that file after configuring NEODB_TOKEN, and review every write request carefully, especially visibility and any post_to_fediverse setting.

Findings (5)

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium

Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The script requests broad "read write" OAuth scopes for a helper that is described as a NeoDB assistant, without any evidence of scope minimization or per-operation consent. Excessive scopes increase blast radius: if the token is exposed, an attacker can perform any API actions allowed by both read and write access rather than only the minimum needed for the intended workflows.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium

Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: The script persists client_id, client_secret, and access_token in a local JSON file inside the repository tree, creating a durable credential target for accidental commits, local compromise, backups, or other tools that can read the workspace. For a skill setup helper, this materially increases credential exposure because the stored secrets can be reused later without re-authentication.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low

Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The script prints the full bearer token to stdout, which can leak into terminal scrollback, shell logging, screen recordings, CI logs, remote session transcripts, or copy/paste history. A bearer token grants immediate API access to whoever obtains it, so displaying it in full unnecessarily exposes a sensitive credential.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence: 98% confidence
Finding: Exposing the access token in full on stdout is a direct secret-handling flaw because bearer tokens are sufficient for API use without additional authentication. In the context of a setup script, users may run it in shared terminals or captured sessions, making inadvertent disclosure realistic.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: Writing sensitive credentials to a local file without prominent warning or secure handling guidance creates a predictable plaintext secret store. Because the file includes both client and user credentials, compromise of that file can enable persistent unauthorized access and make revocation harder to manage.
