Security audit

Aviationstack

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent Aviationstack connector, but its setup instructions tell users to execute remote installer scripts directly in a shell.

Review the installer path before installing. Prefer installing the oo CLI through a verified package or separately downloaded installer with published checksums/signatures, and avoid running the one-line remote shell commands unless you trust OOMOL's installer delivery path and understand it can execute code on your machine.

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

Finding

The skill instructs users to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). If the remote host, CDN, DNS, TLS trust chain, or distribution pipeline is compromised, arbitrary code will execute immediately on the user's machine with the user's privileges.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Aviationstack request" and "Whenever a task involves Aviationstack," without defining boundaries or exclusions. That activation scope is broad and lacks negative examples, making it unclear when the skill should or should not be selected.
