Security audit

Fomo

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Fomo changes require your approval, but the setup instructions execute unchecked downloads and omit broader changes the CLI can make to installed agent skills.

Review and install a verified CLI release yourself before enabling this skill. Check its automatic skill-installation behavior; the publisher documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 to disable startup synchronization. Keep the Fomo write and deletion confirmations, and connect only the account you intend to use. The remote installers were unavailable for inspection, and the skill does not pin the CLI implementation. No malicious intent or exfiltration 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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • MCP Tool PoisoningHidden Instructions, Unicode Deception, Parameter Description Injection

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The supplied chunk performs remote installer execution, not Fomo operations. Although installing a dependency can be a supporting implementation detail, nothing supplied establishes that this Oomol installer supports the declared Fomo functionality. The downloaded script's contents and any further effects are not available for assessment.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The installation command immediately executes remotely fetched shell code without a pinned version or independent integrity verification; the PowerShell alternative has the same weakness. A compromised distribution endpoint or modified installer could execute arbitrary code with the agent process's permissions, exposing local credentials and files. Conditional setup reduces exposure, and an independently enforced Bash(oo *) allowlist could block installation, but neither makes this installation instruction intrinsically safe.

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.
