Security audit

ASO Suite

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to be a legitimate ASO Suite CLI helper, but it installs an unpinned global npm executable that authenticates with a long-lived token and can modify or delete ASO account data.

Review this before installing. Prefer a pinned, reviewed `asosuite` version, avoid running the global npm install with administrator privileges, and treat `~/.asosuite/config.json` as sensitive because it contains a long-lived access token. Use extra care with commands that remove, delete, clear, untrack, or unplan ASO data.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Insecure DependenciesIntroduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
  • 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

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

md
1. CLI asks the server for a short-lived device code.
2. CLI opens your browser at `https://www.asosuite.com/cli/auth?code=...`.
3. You sign in and approve the CLI request.
4. CLI polls the server and receives a long-lived CLI access token.

The token is stored at `~/.asosuite/config.json`.

Session Persistence

Medium
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The markdown lists state-changing and deletion operations such as untrack-app, unplan-app, tracked-keywords remove, tags delete, related-apps remove, and events delete without any warning that they modify or remove tracked data. For a markdown skill description, the criteria require warning users about behaviors that could affect user data or system integrity, and this file omits such disclosure.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The natural-language defaults section sets region=US as the default behavior, which imposes a specific locale choice without indicating that the user can opt in or select another region first. The policy forbids forcing a locale unless it is justified or presented as a user choice.
