Security audit

Ecologi

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Ecologi workflow requires purchase approval, but its fallback setup runs unverified remote code and omits broader changes to agent skills.

Review the CLI installation separately and use a verified release. Decide whether to allow its cross-agent skill synchronization; the publisher documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 to disable startup synchronization. Connect only the intended Ecologi account and approve each purchase's amount and effect. The remote installers and hosted connector implementation were unavailable for inspection.

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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The supplied command executes an installer from cli.oomol.com, while the description declares Ecologi data access and modification. No Ecologi interaction or connection between this installer and the declared functionality is shown. The downloaded script's contents and further effects are not available for assessment.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

Piping a live HTTPS response directly into bash executes mutable remote code with the invoking user's privileges, without a pinned version or independently verified integrity. Compromise of the distribution endpoint could therefore lead to local data theft or modification; the legitimate CLI dependency and conditional setup do not eliminate this supply-chain risk.

Content

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

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The fallback instructs the agent to install software by executing downloaded scripts without first obtaining approval for local system changes or explaining the remote-code execution risk. Restricting setup to a missing-CLI error reduces exposure, but an Ecologi request does not itself authorize installing software on the user's machine.

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.
