DocsBot AI

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The DocsBot features fit their stated purpose, but automatic setup executes unverified remote code and can install additional agent skills.

Review the setup before enabling this skill. Provision a reviewed, pinned CLI yourself and decide whether to allow its additional skill installation. The publisher documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 to prevent startup skill synchronization in its [command reference](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md#environment-variables). Connect only the intended DocsBot account and understand that requests pass through OOMOL. The remote installers and live connector implementation were not 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

Findings (5)

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The supplied command performs remote script execution associated with an Oomol installer, not DocsBot AI search or data retrieval. No relationship to the declared DocsBot functionality is established, so this is an undeclared capability and an inconsistent resource. The contents and additional effects of the downloaded script are not available for assessment.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The supplied chunk performs only a CLI login and contains no DocsBot-specific search or reading functionality. Authentication could support a larger integration, but the supplied code establishes no such connection and does not implement the declared purpose.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

Piping an HTTPS response directly into Bash executes whatever the endpoint supplies without an opportunity to inspect or verify it. HTTPS protects transport but not against a compromised publisher or mutable installer, making this a supply-chain execution risk rather than evidence that the OOMOL domain itself is malicious; it is the same underlying issue as the setup-workflow finding.

Content

The setup workflow instructs the agent to execute remote installation scripts without warning about system-level effects.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The fallback setup instructs the agent to download and immediately execute shell or PowerShell code without reviewing it, verifying a pinned artifact, or obtaining explicit approval for installation. A compromised distribution endpoint or installer could execute arbitrary commands with the agent's operating-system privileges; limiting setup to a missing-CLI error reduces frequency but does not protect that execution path.

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.
