Census Bureau

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a read-only Census Bureau connector, but its setup instructions tell users or agents to run mutable remote installer scripts directly.

Review the setup instructions before installing. Use this skill only if you are comfortable trusting OOMOL's oo CLI and installer delivery path, and prefer a version-pinned or verified installation method where available. Once installed and connected, the Census actions themselves appear limited to reading public Census Bureau data through the connector.

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: 97% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs users/agents to execute a remote installation script via curl ... | bash, which is a classic supply-chain and arbitrary code execution risk. If the remote host, transport, distribution pipeline, or script content is compromised, running the command grants immediate code execution on the local system.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The description says to use this skill for "ANY Census Bureau request" and "Whenever a task involves Census Bureau," which is an extremely broad activation condition. It does not define scope boundaries or exclusions, so ordinary references to Census Bureau content could trigger the skill unnecessarily.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.
