AlgoDocs

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The AlgoDocs integration is coherent, but its setup can execute an unverified online installer without first obtaining clear user approval.

Review the setup before installing. Prefer a separately verified CLI installation and control whether it may install or update other agent skills. Understand that OOMOL mediates access to your connected AlgoDocs account. The downloaded installers were unavailable for inspection; no malicious payload or unrelated data transfer 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
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • 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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The supplied command runs an Oomol-hosted installer, with no demonstrated connection to AlgoDocs. Although dependency installation can be a supporting implementation detail, the supplied chunk establishes no such relationship. The remote script's contents and further effects are not available for assessment.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

Piping a remotely fetched installation script directly into Bash executes mutable network content with the agent process's local permissions, without an integrity check or review. A compromised distribution endpoint could therefore compromise accessible files or credentials; the analogous PowerShell command has the same issue, although both paths are conditional on the CLI being absent.

First-time setup executes remote installation scripts without warning about their system-level effects.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The setup instructions direct the agent to install software after a missing-command error without requiring explicit approval or explaining that downloaded code will execute locally. The error-triggered condition limits exposure, but a routine AlgoDocs request could still lead to host changes beyond the user's requested data operation.

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.

- **HTTP 402 without `OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT`** — the third-party account itself has no active plan or credit. Report the provider error message as is; do not ask the user to recharge OOMOL.

External Transmission

Medium
Category
Data Exfiltration
Confidence
50% confidence
Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
