Security audit

Consensus

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The search workflow fits its purpose, but setup executes unverified downloaded code and leaves broader changes to installed agent skills undisclosed.

Review setup before enabling this skill. Install a verified CLI release yourself, review its managed-skill synchronization settings, and approve the Consensus connection through OOMOL. Installer contents were unavailable for inspection, so their complete local effects remain unknown. The review concerns installation control and undisclosed persistent changes; no malicious intent was established.

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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The declared purpose concerns accessing Consensus data, but the supplied command executes an installer hosted on cli.oomol.com. No connection between this installation and the declared Consensus functionality is established in the supplied content, so it cannot be treated as merely a supporting implementation detail. The downloaded script's contents and further effects are not available for assessment.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The supplied code performs only a login operation, with no Consensus search or read behavior and no demonstrated connection between oo and Consensus. Authentication could be a supporting implementation detail if that connection were established, but the supplied chunk does not establish it.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

Piping a mutable HTTPS response directly into Bash executes remote code without reviewing or verifying the artifact. HTTPS protects transport but does not protect against compromise of the distribution endpoint or publisher; the missing-CLI condition limits exposure but does not prevent arbitrary code execution if the installer is malicious.

The setup workflow executes downloaded installation scripts without warning about running remote code or modifying the local system.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The setup instructions direct execution of remotely downloaded shell and PowerShell scripts without an explicit approval checkpoint or integrity verification. Although conditional installation is a legitimate prerequisite, it crosses from read-oriented research into local code execution; a compromised installer could access files and credentials or modify the system with the invoking user's privileges.

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.
