Security audit

Anthropic

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is coherent for using Anthropic through OOMOL, but its first-time setup tells users to execute unverified remote installer scripts directly.

Review the installer path before installing. Prefer installing the oo CLI from a pinned, signed, or checksum-verified release channel, and do not run the provided remote script commands from an elevated shell. Once oo is already installed and connected, the skill's Anthropic connector usage is disclosed and reasonably scoped.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • 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
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to install software via curl ... | bash, which executes a remote script directly without verification. If the hosting domain, transport path, or script content is compromised, this becomes arbitrary code execution on the user's machine; because the skill is framed as operational guidance, users may follow it with elevated trust.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Anthropic request," including reading, creating, and updating data. That activation scope is extremely broad and lacks constraints or negative examples, which could cause the skill to be invoked for many loosely related mentions of Anthropic.

Finding

The file marks create_message with [write] and then states that [write] actions 'change Anthropic state'. But the listed Anthropic actions are count_message_tokens, create_message, get_model, and list_models; create_message is an inference call, not an operation that clearly creates or updates durable account data as the manifest description suggests. This documentation overstates the kind of side effect the action has and can mislead an agent about the real behavior.
