E2B

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The E2B workflow includes approval safeguards, but its setup runs unverified remote code and omits the CLI’s automatic changes to other agent skills.

Review and install a verified CLI release yourself before enabling this skill. Its CLI can also install or refresh other agent skills; the publisher documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 to disable startup synchronization. Connect only the intended E2B account and retain the write/delete approval safeguards. The remote installers and hosted connector 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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The supplied command fetches and executes an Oomol installer, with no visible E2B interaction or demonstrated dependency relationship to E2B. This is an undeclared software-installation capability involving an inconsistent external resource. The downloaded script's precise effects cannot be determined from the provided chunk.

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 it; the PowerShell alternative has the same risk. A compromised distribution endpoint could execute arbitrary code with the agent's local privileges, potentially stealing credentials or modifying files. The missing-CLI condition limits exposure, but the instructions do not require explicit approval before installation.

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.

- **`OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT`** — OOMOL billing stop. Recharge at `https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge` before retrying.

- **HTTP 402 without `OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT`** — the third-party account itself has no active plan or credit. Report the provider error message as is; do not ask the user to recharge OOMOL.
