Chatarmin

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Chatarmin operations require user approval, but the setup path can execute unverified software and introduce undisclosed changes to other agents’ skills.

Review the CLI setup before installing. Prefer a verified, fixed CLI release and disable startup skill synchronization before its first invocation if you only want Chatarmin access; the publisher documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED for this purpose in its [command reference](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md). Connect only the intended account and approve message sending, changes, and deletions. The complete bundled artifact was inspected, but external installer contents and the exact downloaded CLI build remain 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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The supplied code performs remote script installation, not Chatarmin data operations. Nothing in the chunk establishes the Oomol installer as a supporting dependency for Chatarmin. The downloaded script's contents and subsequent behavior are not provided, so no further capabilities can be determined.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The command pipes a remotely fetched, unpinned installer directly into Bash, giving whatever script the endpoint serves immediate execution with the user's permissions. HTTPS protects transport but does not protect against compromise of the legitimate host or release pipeline; the documented CLI dependency explains the download but does not establish its integrity.

First-time setup instructs execution of downloaded installation scripts without a system-integrity warning.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The setup instructions directly execute mutable remote scripts through Bash or PowerShell without an explicit installation approval or integrity-verification step. If the distribution endpoint or publishing pipeline is compromised, installation could execute attacker-controlled code with the invoking user's permissions; restricting installation to a missing-CLI error reduces exposure but does not prevent this risk.

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.
