Apify

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Apify connector helper with one notable setup risk from remote installer commands, but its core behavior is scoped and purpose-aligned.

Before installing, confirm you trust OOMOL and Apify for the account connection, review the oo CLI installation source instead of blindly piping remote scripts into a shell, and approve write actions such as actor runs only after checking the exact payload and expected cost or data impact.

  • 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

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to install software by piping a remote script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash), which creates a supply-chain and remote code execution risk if the host, transport, or distribution path is compromised. In this skill context, the danger is increased because these setup steps are embedded as operational guidance inside a tool that may be followed automatically or with limited scrutiny when commands fail.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Apify request" and "Whenever a task involves Apify," which is extremely broad and lacks scope boundaries or exclusion conditions. This can overlap with many ordinary Apify-related tasks without clarifying when the skill should or should not activate.
