Audit emergency break-glass and privileged-access accounts for the ways their standing power outlives the emergency they exist for: a break-glass account with a static, shared, or never-rotated credential that is a permanent superuser login rather than a sealed last resort, an emergency account excluded from the MFA, conditional-access, or logging controls covering other admins so its use is easy and invisible, a just-in-time elevation that grants more than the task needs or is not revoked…
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 break-glass account trust: the last-resort key must be sealed, watched, and rare A break-glass account exists for the emergency where normal admin access is broken, the identity provider is down, everyone is locked out, so it holds the highest privilege and, by design, bypasses some of the controls that gate everyone else. That combination, maximum power plus fewer gates, is precisely why it is dangerous when its own controls are loose. The account is supposed to be a sealed last resort: strong unique credential, rotated after each use, covered by logging and alerting, used rarely and reviewed every time. The failures are where it stops being sealed. A static, shared, or never-rotated credential turns the emergency key into a permanent superuser login anyone who once saw it can use. An emergency account excluded from the multi-factor, conditional-access, and logging controls that cover other admins is both easy to use and invisible when used. A just-in-time or privileged-access-management elevation that grants more than the task needs, or is not revoked when the task ends, leaves standing privilege behind a temporary label. An emergency path with no approval, no …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-break-glass-account-trust@sha256:e51f5c6c996891a4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.19a7174, 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.
