Amplemarket

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Amplemarket actions have clear safeguards, but the CLI dependency can persistently change other agent skills without that effect being explained.

Review the CLI installation separately before use, preferably using a verified release. Set OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 before invoking oo if you do not want automatic changes to other agent skills. Amplemarket requests pass through OOMOL, and state changes require your confirmation. The remote installer and hosted implementation were not verified.

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
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The supplied command performs remote script execution rather than any shown Amplemarket data operation. Although installing a dependency can be a supporting implementation detail, this chunk establishes no relationship between the Oomol installer and the declared purpose. The downloaded script's subsequent behavior cannot be determined from the supplied code.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The fallback setup pipes a mutable remote script directly into Bash without version pinning or integrity verification; the PowerShell alternative has the same issue. Compromise of the distribution endpoint or its publishing pipeline could execute arbitrary code with the agent's local privileges, exposing accessible files and credentials. Restricting setup to a missing CLI reduces exposure, but does not make fetched code trustworthy; the stated oo-only tool allowance may block these commands if strictly enforced.

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.
