Fivetran

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Fivetran reads are appropriate, but setup can execute unverified downloaded code, and the required CLI has undisclosed effects on other agents’ skills.

Review setup before use. Install a verified CLI release yourself and check the permissions granted through OOMOL. The provider documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 to prevent startup skill synchronization. The remote installer and hosted connector implementation remain unverified; no malicious behavior was established.

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
99% confidence
Finding

The supplied command performs remote script execution rather than searching or reading Fivetran data. Nothing in the chunk establishes that installing the Oomol CLI supports the declared Fivetran functionality. The script's contents are not supplied, so its further effects cannot be determined.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

Piping an HTTPS response directly into Bash executes mutable remote code without independent integrity verification or an opportunity to inspect it first. Compromise of the installer host or publishing pipeline could therefore lead to arbitrary code execution with the invoking user's permissions. The domain is consistent with the documented CLI provider, so this is a supply-chain exposure rather than evidence of a malicious destination; the PowerShell alternative has the same underlying risk.

First-time setup executes remote installation scripts without a system-integrity warning.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The fallback instructs the agent to execute downloaded shell or PowerShell scripts without requiring explicit installation approval or verification of the downloaded code. Such scripts execute with the invoking user's privileges and could compromise local files or credentials if the distribution source is compromised. Restricting installation to a missing-CLI error reduces exposure, but does not make system-changing installation implicitly authorized by a Fivetran read request.

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.
