Audit in-memory and cache datastores such as Redis and memcached for exposure and command abuse: an instance reachable without authentication, a request that composes datastore commands from untrusted input, or server-side scripting and module or config commands that reach code execution or a file write. Covers unauthenticated network exposure, command injection where input becomes a command rather than a value, Lua or scripting evaluation on untrusted input, and dangerous administrative…
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 datastore exposure and abuse: when the cache is an unauthenticated shell Cache and key-value stores such as Redis and memcached are built for speed inside a trusted network, and that assumption is exactly what makes them dangerous when it does not hold. Two failures dominate. First, exposure: an instance bound to a reachable interface with no authentication is an open command interface, and on some stores the command set reaches configuration changes, on-disk file rewrites, module loading, and scripting, so an open port is a path to code execution, not just data theft. Second, command abuse: when an application composes datastore commands from untrusted input, the attacker can inject extra commands or reach a scripting or administrative command the application never intended. You audit both by checking how the instance is reached and how commands are composed. ## When to use - An application talks to a cache or key-value store such as Redis or memcached. - A datastore instance may be bound to a reachable interface or lack authentication. - Untrusted input reaches the command layer, a scripting evaluation, or a key or command name. ## Scope check …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-datastore-exposure-and-abuse@sha256:62a9a234de71fd8cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.c45369b, 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.
