auditing-ml-inference-endpoint-abuse

auditing-ml-inference-endpoint-abuse is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 201 tokens per session (2,038 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review for hosted machine-learning model endpoints, which are web services that answer model queries. It checks whether callers can misuse the endpoint to create unexpected costs or learn about the model and its training data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess endpoint access, per-caller rate and spend limits, query patterns, and returned probabilities, confidence values, or embeddings.
Why use it?
It helps find missing authentication, caller limits, and spending controls, as well as responses that reveal too much. These weaknesses can enable excessive inference charges, model copying, or training-data inference.

Token cost

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-ml-inference-endpoint-abuse 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 6d 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 ML inference endpoint abuse: a served model is an asset and a meter, both attackable

A model exposed as an inference endpoint is two things worth attacking at once: a metered resource that costs money per call, and a confidential asset that queries can reconstruct. The abuses follow from that. If the endpoint is unauthenticated or weakly keyed, anyone can call it. If there is no per-caller rate or spend limit, a caller runs up unbounded inference cost, a denial-of-wallet against expensive model serving. Beyond cost, the model itself leaks to a determined querent: systematic queries reconstruct the model or its decision boundary (model extraction), and carefully chosen queries recover whether a specific record was in the training set or reconstruct sensitive training data (membership and inversion inference). Over-informative responses, full class probabilities, raw embeddings, confidence vectors, make both extraction and inversion far easier. The audit treats the endpoint as a cost meter and a confidential asset and checks the controls on both. You audit this by calling the endpoint as an attacker would: unauthenticated, at volume, and systematically.

When to use

  • A model is deployed as a callable prediction or embedding endpoint (classifier, recommender, scorer).
  • The endpoint may be unauthenticated, weakly keyed, or lack per-caller rate and spend limits.
  • Responses may return full probabilities or embeddings, and the model or its training data is confidential.

Scope check

Test inference endpoints only on models and services you own or are authorized to assess, on non-production deployments. Volume and systematic querying incur real cost and exercise a real confidentiality boundary, so use a test deployment and never run up spend or extract from a model that is not yours. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Establish the intended access, cost, and confidentiality bounds first. Name who may call the endpoint, the per-caller rate and spend limit, and what the response should reveal. This is the false-positive killer: an endpoint that authenticates callers, enforces per-caller rate and spend limits, and returns only the minimal answer (a label, a top-k, a coarse score) is behaving correctly. Name the intended bounds, then test each.

auditing-ml-inference-endpoint-abuse is a skill published in the GitHub repository UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 201 tokens to every session and 2,038 once invoked, about $0.0010 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 2026-09-05.
