BigMailer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

BigMailer changes require approval, but the dependency setup can execute changing remote code and introduce additional agent skills without explaining those effects.

Review and install the CLI deliberately before use, and understand that BigMailer data passes through OOMOL. The publisher documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 to prevent startup skill synchronization; configure it before invoking oo if those additional installations are unwanted. Keep the skill's write and deletion approvals. Exact remote installer behavior remains unverified.

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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The supplied code performs remote installer execution rather than any visible BigMailer operation. Installation can be a supporting implementation detail, but this chunk provides no evidence that the Oomol installer supports the declared BigMailer functionality. The downloaded script's contents and further effects cannot be determined from the supplied code.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The setup instructions pipe a remotely fetched script directly into Bash, and the adjacent PowerShell alternative similarly executes downloaded content without integrity verification. A compromised distribution endpoint or altered installer could execute arbitrary code with the invoking user's permissions, potentially accessing local secrets or modifying files. The legitimate dependency relationship and missing-CLI prerequisite limit when this occurs but do not make the downloaded code trustworthy.

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.
