Security audit

Doppler

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Doppler helper is coherent, but it gives agents broad access to view, export, change, and delete secrets without enough safety guidance.

Review this skill before installing if you use Doppler for real projects. Only use it when you explicitly want Doppler operations, avoid printing secret values into chat or logs, prefer scoped project/config flags, and require confirmation before any delete or bulk export command.

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

Credential Access

High
Category
Privilege Escalation
Confidence
60% confidence
Finding

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The skill description explicitly triggers on broad phrases like 'secrets management' and 'env variables', which are generic terms that can match many unrelated user requests. This increases the chance of inappropriate invocation in contexts involving sensitive data, causing the agent to steer users toward secret-management operations without sufficient specificity or safeguards.

Missing User Warnings

Category

Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The authentication section documents interactive login and token-based auth flags without any instruction for secure credential handling. This can lead an agent or user to paste tokens directly into commands, exposing them via shell history, process lists, screenshots, or logs.

Missing User Warnings

Category

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill provides commands to retrieve individual secrets and download complete secret sets in env or JSON form, but it does not warn against displaying, logging, or storing these values. This is dangerous because an agent may expose plaintext secrets in chat output, terminal history, logs, or generated files, resulting in credential disclosure.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The documentation includes destructive commands for deleting projects, configs, environments, and secrets without any warning, confirmation guidance, or requirement for explicit user intent. In an agent setting, this raises the risk of accidental or over-broad destructive actions against production secret-management resources.
