Security audit

AI App Testing

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent AI testing toolkit, but it needs review because some scripts send prompt and conversation data to configurable endpoints and one MCP audit contacts a public service by default.

Review before installing or running online modes. Use only local or trusted endpoints, avoid production prompts and customer data, redact or replace the realistic identity fixtures, and remove or disable the httpbin.org MCP check if external egress is not intended. Treat the MCP compliance score as partial or simulated unless you add real protocol checks.

Endpoint connectivity ep_results = [self.check_endpoint(ep) for ep in MCP_TEST_ENDPOINTS] results["endpoints"] = ep_results results["endpoints_online"] = sum(1 for r in ep_results if r["online"]) ``` ### Technical Analysis Every invocation of `run_full_audit()` iterates over the hard-coded endpoint list and sends a request to `https://httpbin.org/get`. This public service is unrelated to the configured MCP server and is not needed to discover MCP capabilities or validate the caller-supplied endpoint. The request does not transmit project files or credentials in its explicit payload. Nevertheless, it discloses network metadata to a third party, including the runner's source IP address, request timing, TLS connection metadata, and HTTP headers added by the client or network infrastructure. The constructor's `endpoint` value is not used for this connectivity check, meaning that operators cannot avoid the public request merely by selecting a private MCP endpoint. ### Attack Path 1. An operator invokes `MCPTester.run_full_audit()` directly or through a workflow that includes the MCP audit. 2. The method iterates through `MCP_TEST_ENDPOINTS`. 3. `check_endpoint()` automatically sends an HTTPS GET request to `httpbin.org`. 4.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: This markdown file is written entirely in Chinese, including headings, pricing details, and contact instructions, with no indication that other languages are available or that the skill is intended only for a Chinese-speaking or region-specific audience. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language without user opt-in is a natural-language policy violation.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Undeclared Tool Scope

Medium

Category: MCP Least Privilege
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The skill documents and encourages use of scripts that read/write local files, call network endpoints, and integrate with CI/Slack, but the skill metadata does not declare any tool scope or permissions. This creates a capability-transparency gap: users or hosting platforms cannot easily assess what operations the skill may perform before adoption, increasing the risk of unintended data access or outbound transmission.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: The markdown instructs users to run online endpoint tests and later mentions Slack notifications, but it does not warn that prompts, traces, test cases, model outputs, or potentially sensitive application data may be transmitted to external services. In a testing skill, this context makes the issue more serious because evaluation inputs often include proprietary prompts, internal traces, customer-like conversations, and security test payloads.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The judging criteria names and descriptions are hardcoded in Chinese, and the main judge prompt at L65-L90 also instructs the model in Chinese only. This imposes a specific language/locale on the skill without offering a user choice or documenting that the tool is intentionally Chinese-only.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium

Category: Data Exfiltration
Confidence: 88% confidence
Finding: When endpoint is set, the script sends the full constructed judge prompt—including question, response, and optional context—to an external HTTP endpoint. In an AI testing/audit skill, those fields may contain proprietary prompts, internal documents, user data, or sensitive evaluation content, so this can cause unintended data exfiltration or privacy/compliance issues if the endpoint is untrusted or misconfigured.

python
if self.endpoint: try: import requests r = requests.post(self.endpoint, json={ "model": self.model, "messages": [{"role":"user","content":prompt}], "temperature": 0, "max_tokens": 512

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 89% confidence
Finding: The scenarios, prompts, success signals, and generated report strings are all written in Chinese, which effectively constrains the skill's interaction and evaluation language. The file does not offer a language selection mechanism or explain that it is intentionally limited to a Chinese-language testing context.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: The test scenarios include realistic personal data such as a phone number and national ID number, and simulate_session sends the full conversation to the configured chat endpoint. Even though this is test code, transmitting hardcoded PII to a model endpoint can leak sensitive data to external services, logs, or telemetry systems, especially if the endpoint is changed from localhost to a remote service.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium

Category: Data Exfiltration
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The code makes outbound HTTP requests to a configurable endpoint and includes the full conversation payload, which can contain sensitive test or user-derived data. In a testing skill, this is more dangerous because operators may point the tool at third-party model gateways during evaluation, unintentionally disclosing internal prompts, sample data, or generated outputs.
Content: Scanner excerpt · ai-app-test/e2e_session_tester.py (reported line 80)May include surrounding context.
python
t0 = time.time() conversation.append({"role":"user","content":text}) try: r = requests.post(self.endpoint, json={ "model":self.model,"messages":conversation, "temperature":0,"max_tokens":512 }, timeout=self.timeout)

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The code posts the entire accumulated conversation history to a configurable endpoint without any disclosure, confirmation, or restrictions on destination. This creates a data exfiltration risk because prompts and model responses may contain sensitive business, customer, or test information, and the endpoint may be remote rather than local.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 88% confidence
Finding: The embedded natural-language test prompts and dimensions are primarily in Chinese, which imposes a specific language/locale assumption on the skill's operation. There is no indication that the user can opt into another language or that the tester is intentionally limited to a Chinese-language evaluation context.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: This code posts the assembled chat messages, including user_input and any system prompt, to the configured endpoint. While the script prints the endpoint being tested, it does not warn that prompt contents will be transmitted over the network or disclose this behavior in a docstring/comment near the operation.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 97% confidence
Finding: The function presents itself as a complete MCP audit, but major results are simulated or hard-coded, including capability coverage and API compliance. This can mislead operators into trusting a server's security or protocol compliance without any real verification, creating a false sense of assurance during testing or deployment.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The generated report is labeled as a compliance audit report even though substantial sections are based on placeholders and fixed assumptions rather than observed behavior. In a testing/security skill, this is dangerous because consumers may use the report as decision-making evidence for security posture or production readiness.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The generated report text is hard-coded in Chinese, and capability descriptions elsewhere in the file are also Chinese-only. This imposes a specific language/locale on users without offering a choice or documenting that the tool is intentionally region-specific.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 93% confidence
Finding: The attack corpus and rejection/breach signatures are substantially hard-coded in Chinese, and the generated report headings and recommendations are also in Chinese. This imposes a specific language/locale behavior without offering user opt-in or documenting a justified region-specific constraint.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium

Category: Data Exfiltration
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The tool sends the configured system prompt and attack payloads to an arbitrary endpoint via HTTP request. If the endpoint is untrusted or misconfigured, sensitive prompt content, headers, or other embedded secrets may be exfiltrated to external services during testing.
Content: Scanner excerpt · ai-app-test/prompt_security_auditor.py (reported line 42)May include surrounding context.
python
msgs.append({"role":"user","content":attack["input"]}) start=time.time() try: r=requests.post(self.endpoint, json={"model":self.model,"messages":msgs}, headers=self.headers, timeout=15) out=r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"] except Exception as e: return {"id":attack["id"],"name":attack["name"],"error":str(e),"pass":False,"breached":True}

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The function emits report titles, table headers, breach details, and recommendations in Chinese only. This is a natural-language policy concern because it forces a locale-specific output format without offering the user a language choice.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The embedded prompts, dimensions, and rejection keywords are predominantly Chinese, which effectively constrains the skill's behavior and evaluation criteria to a specific language. The file does not offer user opt-in for language selection or explain that the tester is intentionally Chinese-specific.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 93% confidence
Finding: This code posts user-supplied test prompts to an external or local chat-completions endpoint, which can transmit potentially sensitive prompt content off-process or off-host. There is no confirmation prompt, print/log disclosure, or comment/docstring warning that prompt data will be sent over HTTP.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.
