Apple Maps

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Maps features fit their purpose, but setup can execute unverified downloaded code and introduce changes to other agent skills without clear approval.

Review and approve CLI installation separately before allowing the fallback. Consider disabling automatic skill synchronization using the documented OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED setting in the [command reference](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md). Your Maps queries pass through OOMOL. The downloaded installers and server behavior were not verified; no malicious behavior was established in the inspected artifact.

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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

Installing the documented connector CLI is related to the skill's operation, so accessing a non-Apple domain is not inherently suspicious. However, the fallback expands a read-only Maps request into executing mutable remote installer code locally without explicit approval or integrity verification; a compromised installer could execute arbitrary commands with the agent's privileges.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding

The supplied code's sole behavior is a login command, rather than the declared Apple Maps functionality. Authentication could be a supporting implementation detail, but this chunk provides no evidence connecting that workflow to Apple Maps.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The command immediately executes whatever script the remote endpoint returns, without pinning a version or verifying an independently trusted signature or digest. HTTPS protects transport but not against compromise of the distribution endpoint, which could result in arbitrary code execution with the invoking process's privileges.

Fallback setup executes downloaded installer scripts without warning the user about remote code execution or local system changes.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The fallback directs installation through downloaded shell or PowerShell code without explaining the local changes or requesting approval. Although triggered only when the CLI is missing, it crosses from reading Maps data into local code execution and exposes the host to installer compromise.

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.
