Courier

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Courier operations have clear approval checks, but automatic setup executes unverified remote code and may introduce broader agent changes.

Review and install a verified CLI release yourself before use, including its automatic agent-skill installation and synchronization settings. Connect only the Courier permissions needed and retain the required confirmations for messages, changes, and deletions. OOMOL handles the connected credentials and requests. The installer contents and complete installation effects could not be verified.

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 command installs or runs software from Oomol rather than performing Courier operations. No connection to Courier is shown, so this is not an established supporting implementation detail. The installer’s contents are not supplied, so its further behavior cannot be determined.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The setup command pipes a remotely fetched, mutable script directly into Bash without verifying its integrity or reviewing its contents; the PowerShell alternative has the same weakness. Compromise of the distribution endpoint could result in arbitrary code execution with the invoking user's permissions, although the missing-CLI condition limits exposure and the declared tool allowlist may prevent execution if strictly enforced.

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.
