Security audit

Abstract

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The email-checking workflow is coherent, but its required CLI can persistently install other agent instructions without this skill disclosing that behavior.

Review the CLI dependency before installing. Use a reviewed release and, if you only want Abstract access, set OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 before invoking oo to disable its documented skill synchronization. Email addresses submitted for validation pass through OOMOL to Abstract. The remote installers were unavailable for inspection, so their exact current behavior remains uncertain; no intentional malicious behavior was established.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Findings (5)

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The command executes an Oomol installation script and contains no Abstract API interaction or data-reading behavior. Remote code execution and installation from cli.oomol.com are not declared, and the supplied code provides no evidence that they support the stated Abstract functionality.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The supplied chunk performs only a CLI login operation; it contains no Abstract-specific requests or data-reading behavior. Authentication could support the declared purpose, but this chunk provides no evidence of that connection and instead implements a materially different standalone workflow.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The setup instructions pipe a mutable remote script directly into Bash without checking its contents, signature, or expected digest; the PowerShell alternative has the same problem. If the distribution endpoint or delivery chain is compromised, installation can execute attacker-controlled code with the invoking account's permissions, potentially exposing local files and credentials. Restricting setup to a missing-CLI error reduces exposure but does not remove this supply-chain risk.

Email validation transmits email addresses to third-party services without an explicit privacy warning.

Output Handling
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The workflow instructs the agent to execute connector actions, and the available action validates an email address through Abstract using OOMOL. Although the providers are named, the skill never warns that the supplied email address will leave the user's environment and be transmitted through OOMOL to Abstract; calling untagged actions safe to run directly does not address this privacy impact.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
