Security audit

Encodian

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent Encodian connector, but it includes under-controlled first-time setup and document-handling instructions that deserve review before installation.

Install only if you are comfortable with OOMOL brokering Encodian access and processing the documents you provide. Review or manually install the oo CLI instead of letting an agent run remote shell install commands, and require explicit approval before actions that unlock, extract, encrypt, or otherwise transform PDFs.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remote script directly into bash. This is a classic supply-chain and remote code execution risk: if the remote host, transport, or script is compromised, arbitrary code runs immediately on the user's machine with no review.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger language says to use this skill for ANY Encodian request, which is overly broad and can cause the agent to route all Encodian-related tasks through this skill without considering narrower or safer alternatives. While not directly exploitable on its own, broad activation increases the chance of unnecessary invocation of powerful actions and amplifies the effect of other safety issues in the skill.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The skill asserts that untagged actions are read-only, but several untagged actions actually transform or decrypt user documents and return modified output. This can mislead an agent into skipping confirmation or safety checks for operations that materially alter sensitive content, increasing the risk of unintended data handling or disclosure.
