Security audit

jira

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Jira helper is coherent and scoped, with Jira changes gated by explicit review and approval.

Before installing, users should be comfortable granting the selected Jira connector or CLI access to Jira data. Review every displayed diff carefully before approving writes, especially bulk edits, comments, assignments, transitions, links, or sprint changes.

A.I.G

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

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

## No usable backend

State which capability is missing. Offer one of these user-controlled setup paths without asking for credentials in chat:

- Connect an authenticated Atlassian/Jira integration supported by the runtime.
- Install the maintained `jira` CLI and complete its interactive `jira init` flow locally.

Scope Creep

Low
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

- Preserve full original values when editing descriptions or other long text.
- Resolve users through the backend. Never assume display name, email, username, and account ID are interchangeable.
- Bound pagination and say when results are partial.
- Treat authorization or schema errors as blockers. Do not broaden scopes or switch to embedded credentials as a workaround.
- For shell-backed execution, pass validated values as separate arguments or protected stdin/files. Never interpolate user text, issue content, JQL, or credentials into a shell command.
