AbuseIPDB

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The AbuseIPDB lookups fit the stated purpose, but setup can execute unchecked downloaded software and make broader agent changes without clear user approval.

Review and approve CLI installation separately, preferably using a verified release. OOMOL will mediate your queries and hold the connected service credentials. Its current CLI documents automatic skill synchronization; inspect or disable that behavior before use using its documented OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED setting. All bundled content was inspected, but the remote installers and hosted connector implementation were not verified. [CLI controls](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md)

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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output

Findings (5)

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The supplied command accesses an unrelated installation endpoint and executes its response. No AbuseIPDB access or data-reading functionality is shown, nor is there evidence that this installation is a supporting dependency for such functionality. The remote script's further effects cannot be determined from the supplied code.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The supplied chunk contains only a login command, not AbuseIPDB search or read functionality. Authentication could be a supporting implementation detail if tied to AbuseIPDB, but the supplied code establishes no such connection and instead exposes a materially different immediate purpose.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The command pipes a mutable network response directly into Bash without pinning or independently verifying the downloaded artifact. HTTPS protects transport but does not prevent a compromised distribution endpoint from supplying malicious code capable of accessing local files and credentials; the PowerShell example has the same underlying risk.

The setup workflow executes downloaded installation scripts without warning the user about remote-code execution or system changes.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

A missing dependency triggers instructions to execute a downloaded installer without explicitly obtaining approval for arbitrary code execution and local system changes. Although dependency installation is relevant to the skill, a read-oriented request does not itself authorize installation, and a compromised installer could execute with the invoking account's permissions.

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.
