Audit telemetry collectors and observability pipelines for trust they should not extend: a collector endpoint that ingests metrics, logs, or traces without authenticating the sender, a processor that executes or forwards based on attacker-controllable telemetry fields, a collector running with broad credentials whose exporters reach sensitive destinations, and an ingestion path where log or trace content becomes a command, a query, or a downstream request. Covers agents and gateway collectors…
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 observability pipeline collector trust: when telemetry is an untrusted input A telemetry collector sits in a trusted spot, workloads and infrastructure send it their logs, metrics, and traces, and it forwards, transforms, and stores that data with credentials that reach real backends. That position makes it an under-examined trust boundary. The data it ingests is often accepted without authenticating the sender, so anyone who can reach the ingestion endpoint can inject telemetry. The processors that transform that data can be driven by fields the sender controls, and a processor that executes, routes, or queries based on a telemetry field acts on attacker input. The collector's own credentials and exporters can reach sensitive destinations, so compromising the pipeline reaches the backends it writes to. You audit these by checking whether ingestion is authenticated and whether any processor or exporter acts on attacker-controllable content. ## When to use - A telemetry collector or agent ingests logs, metrics, or traces from workloads or the network. - The collector transforms, routes, or stores telemetry, and processors may read sender-controlled fields. …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-observability-pipeline-collector-trust@sha256:86bea8ffc6db4990The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.b5f41a4, 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.
