box-mcp

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill provides coherent guidance for using Box through its hosted MCP server, with clear safeguards around identity, permissions, content handling, and writes.

Install this only if you intend to let your agent use your Box MCP connection. Review the Box scopes and enterprise settings before authorizing, because the skill can support Box content reads, writes, sharing changes, uploads, downloads, and AI/content extraction when requested through available MCP tools.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • 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
