Security audit

BugHerd

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This BugHerd skill is mostly coherent, but its setup instructions use unverified remote installer scripts that need user review before installation.

Install this only if you trust OOMOL's oo CLI distribution path and your BugHerd account use case. Prefer a signed or checksum-verified installer instead of running the documented curl|bash or irm|iex commands blindly, and review exact payloads before approving create or update actions in BugHerd.

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

Finding

The skill instructs users to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into bash, which creates a classic supply-chain and remote code execution risk. If the install endpoint, CDN, TLS trust chain, or upstream distribution is compromised, arbitrary code would execute immediately on the user's machine without inspection.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for 'ANY BugHerd request' and 'Whenever a task involves BugHerd,' which is an intentionally broad activation condition for a manifest/markdown file. It does not provide negative examples or constraints, so the trigger scope could overlap with many ordinary requests that merely mention BugHerd.
