Security audit

Env Doctor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a local .env checking skill that reads files the user points it at and does not show evidence of hidden transmission, persistence, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent reading the specific .env files you ask it to check. Treat terminal and JSON reports as sensitive, especially in CI, because malformed lines may be echoed in output.

Vulnerability Patterns

Insecure Skill Coding PracticesFinds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
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

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium

Category: MCP Least Privilege
Confidence: 82% confidence
Finding: The skill advertises file-reading behavior over potentially sensitive .env files but does not declare any explicit tool scope or permissions boundaries. That makes the capability less auditable and increases the risk that an agent may invoke the skill on secrets-bearing files without clear user-visible constraints.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The trigger phrases are broad enough to match many common requests about configuration, secrets, or validation, which can cause over-invocation of a skill that reads sensitive environment files. In a secrets-focused skill, overly broad routing increases exposure risk even if the underlying purpose is legitimate.
