auditing-kms-key-policy-and-envelope-encryption

auditing-kms-key-policy-and-envelope-encryption is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 171 tokens per session (1,906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review of managed encryption keys and envelope encryption, where a data-encryption key is itself protected by another key. It determines who can actually decrypt the data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing key policies, grants, and identity permissions. Checking which users or services can decrypt data and whether encryption context limits that access.
Why use it?
Encryption can still expose data when key policies, grants, wildcards, or cross-account access include the wrong people or systems. It also checks whether extra context restrictions are truly enforced.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

auditing-kms-key-policy-and-envelope-encryption scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Auditing KMS key policy and envelope encryption: who can actually decrypt

Envelope encryption protects data with a data key and protects the data key with a managed master key, so the real access boundary is the master key's policy plus whatever encryption context constrains the data key. That indirection hides over-broad access. A key policy or grant can admit a principal who should never decrypt this data; a wildcard key resource in an identity policy can cover keys the author never considered; and an encryption context, meant to bind a data key to a specific scope, does nothing if the decrypt path does not enforce it. Cross-account grants widen the set further. The payload can be perfectly encrypted while the decrypt set quietly includes the wrong principals. You audit these by computing who can decrypt and comparing that to who should read the data.

When to use

  • Data is protected by a managed key through envelope encryption, with a data key under a master key.
  • Decrypt access is governed by a key policy, key grants, and identity policies that may use wildcards.
  • An encryption context is used to scope a data key, and you need to confirm it is enforced on decrypt.

Scope check

Audit key access only in accounts and key stores you own or are authorized to assess. Confirming a decrypt recovers real plaintext, so stay inside the authorized keys and treat recovered data as sensitive within scope, never exfiltrating it. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Establish the data's intended readers first. For the data a key protects, name the principals that legitimately need to decrypt it. This is the false-positive killer: a key policy admitting exactly those readers is correct however sensitive the key is. Name the intended readers, then compute the decrypt set against them.

  2. Read the key policy and grants for who they admit. The master key's policy and any grants name the principals allowed to decrypt. Determine the true admitted set, noting broad principals (an account-wide grant, a wildcard) and any condition intended to scope it. Grants are easy to miss because they live apart from the policy document.

auditing-kms-key-policy-and-envelope-encryption is a skill published in the GitHub repository UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 171 tokens to every session and 1,906 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
