Turn "we found a credential" into a finding by triaging what the material actually is, what it authenticates as, what it authorizes, for how long, and how to revoke it — because a Slack webhook and a long-lived cloud root key are both "a secret" and differ by orders of magnitude in blast radius. Use whenever secret material surfaces: a leaked key in a git commit or CI log, a password/hash dump, a captured Kerberos ticket, an OAuth access or refresh token, a session cookie, an SSH or signing…
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
# Credential Material Triage "We found a credential" is not a finding. It is the noticing of a string that looks secret. The finding is: *what kind of material is this, what identity does it authenticate as, what does that identity authorize, over what scope, for how long, can it be used offline, and how is it revoked.* Two artifacts that both read as "a secret" — a 15-minute STS token and a non-expiring IAM access key with `iam:PassRole` — are separated by orders of magnitude of consequence, and a triage that calls them both "exposed credential, severity high" has told you nothing. The two symmetric errors this skill kills: - **Inflation.** "We dumped the NT hashes, the accounts are compromised." A hash is not a password; whether it is *usable* depends on the protocol (pass-the-hash vs relay-only vs must-crack) and, if it must be cracked, on the password's strength. A bcrypt of a 20-char passphrase is, for practical purposes, inert. Reporting it as "compromised" is the same overclaim `red-team-auditing` forbids everywhere else. - **Deflation.** "It's just a read-only token, low severity" — for a refresh token …

How to install
mdr add annatchijova/skills/credential-material-triage@sha256:7f653102d2838317The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.a84759b, 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.
