Audit error handling and diagnostic surfaces for sensitive information a real client receives, where an exception path, a debug feature, or a diagnostic endpoint returns stack traces, database errors, internal paths, framework or version banners, configuration, secrets, or messages that differ enough to enumerate users. Use when reviewing how a service responds to malformed, unauthorized, or failing requests in its deployed configuration, and whether debug modes, source maps, or…
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 error handling and information exposure: when a failure tells the attacker how it works Every application fails, and how it fails is a message to whoever is probing it. A stack trace names the framework, the file layout, and the line that broke. A database error quotes the query and confirms an injection point. A verbose not-found versus a verbose forbidden tells an attacker which accounts exist. A debug endpoint left on in production hands over configuration and sometimes secrets. None of this is a memory-corruption bug or an injection; it is the system narrating its internals to an unauthenticated client, turning blind probing into informed attack. The audit is not about suppressing all errors; it is about deciding, for the deployed configuration, whether what a real client receives on failure reveals security-relevant structure. You find it by driving the error paths a client can reach and reading exactly what comes back. ## When to use - A service returns errors on malformed, unauthorized, or failing requests and you can observe the responses. - Debug modes, verbose error pages, or diagnostic and health endpoints may be reachable in production. …

How to install
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-error-handling-and-information-exposure@sha256:d1acf5c7fc74e44bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.6dac719, 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.
