neo4j-security-skill
Programmatic security management in Neo4j — RBAC/ABAC, user lifecycle (CREATE/ALTER/DROP USER), role lifecycle (CREATE/GRANT ROLE/DROP ROLE), privilege grants and denies (GRANT/DENY/REVOKE on graph, database, DBMS), property-level access control, sub-graph access control, SHOW PRIVILEGES inspection, and auth provider config reference (LDAP, OIDC/SSO). Use when an agent needs to manage users, roles, or privileges programmatically via Cypher on the system database. Does NOT handle Cypher query writing — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT handle cluster ops or backups — use neo4j-cli-tools-skill. Property-level security and ABAC require Enterprise Edition.

W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions
What this means
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Why it was flagged
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The prompt includes literal password examples (e.g., SET PASSWORD 'secret') and mandates showing the exact CREATE/ALTER USER or privilege commands before execution, which can force the agent to display or embed plaintext passwords/secret values verbatim.
