Audit password reset and account recovery flows for the trust that lets an attacker take over an account: a reset token that is guessable, long-lived, reusable, or not bound to the account it was issued for, a recovery path that verifies a weaker factor than login and bypasses multi-factor, a reset link whose host comes from an attacker-controllable header so the token leaks, and a recovery that trusts an unverified email or phone change to redirect the reset.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Auditing account recovery and reset trust: the alternate door into every account Every login has a back door built in on purpose: the password reset and account recovery flow. It exists so a locked-out user can get back in, which means it is, by design, a way to gain access to an account without the password. That makes it a prime takeover target, and it is frequently weaker than the front door it protects. The reset token may be guessable, long-lived, reusable, or not bound to the account, so an attacker can predict or replay it. The recovery path may verify a weaker factor than login and skip the multi-factor requirement, so recovery becomes the multi-factor bypass. The reset link's host may come from a request header an attacker controls, so the emailed token leaks to the attacker's domain. And recovery may trust an unverified email or phone change, redirecting the reset to the attacker. The audit treats recovery as an authentication path with the same rigor as login. You audit this by walking the flow and testing each trust it places. ## When to use - An application offers password reset or account recovery as a way to regain access to an account. …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-account-recovery-and-reset-trust@sha256:ab94445809514590The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260829.b60f9b2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
