Security audit

Asana

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent Asana connector, but it includes unsafe remote installer commands that could execute changing external code on a user's machine.

Review this skill before installing. It can operate on Asana data, including deletes, and it tells the agent to confirm those actions first. Do not let an agent run the provided oo CLI installer commands automatically; install the CLI only from a trusted source after verifying the installer or using safer platform package steps.

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

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill includes a one-line remote install command that pipes a fetched script directly into bash. If an agent follows this guidance automatically, a compromised upstream host, MITM, or unexpected script change could lead to arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

Finding

The skill description says to use this skill for ANY Asana request and instead of calling the API directly, which creates very broad routing semantics. This can cause unintended activation for loosely related requests and increase the chance that read, write, or destructive Asana operations are invoked in contexts where the user did not specifically intend this skill to be used.
