Security audit

Incident.io

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent incident.io integration, but it gives an agent live authority to create, edit, close, and publicly update incidents without clear confirmation or safety guidance.

Install only if you trust the workspace and intend the agent to operate on real incident.io data. Use a least-privilege API key, prefer test or retrospective mode when practicing, and require human review before creating, closing, editing, or posting incident updates because these actions can notify responders or expose information.

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

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill includes ready-to-run examples that create and modify live incidents but does not clearly warn users that these are write operations against a production API. This increases the risk of accidental incident creation, escalation, or closure when a user copies commands without realizing they will change real organizational state.

This finding points to the same create-incident example, which is a mutating authenticated call to an external API. In this context, the risk is accidental state change in a production incident-management system if run without clear warnings.

This is the same edit-incident example and involves a live authenticated write to an external service. It is risky because it can alter incident metadata and trigger notifications if executed against production data unintentionally.

This is the close-incident edit call and performs a live external state change. Running it against the wrong incident or status could disrupt incident handling and produce inaccurate records.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The skill tells users to export an API key and use it in shell commands but does not include guidance on protecting the credential from shell history, logs, screenshots, or accidental echoing. While the examples do not directly print the secret, missing handling guidance can still lead to credential exposure in operational use.
