Security audit

Gildata Data Map

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This data-search skill needs review because it directs the agent to run an unverified remote installer when required software is missing.

Review and explicitly approve the CLI installation separately before allowing this skill to install software. Prefer a verified, pinned release and check whether it installs additional agent skills. Using the connector also entrusts OOMOL with your connected Gildata access. The review concern is uncontrolled setup execution; the inspected artifact does not establish malicious behavior.

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

  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The supplied code performs an external CLI installation rather than searching or reading Gildata Data Map. Although installation can be a supporting implementation detail, nothing supplied establishes that this installer supports the declared purpose. The downloaded script is not included, so its additional behavior and permissions cannot be determined.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

Piping the downloaded script directly into Bash executes mutable remote content without a pinned version or independent integrity verification. A compromised installation host or release pipeline could therefore execute attacker-controlled commands with the user's permissions; HTTPS protects transport but does not establish that the delivered script is trustworthy.

Content

The setup workflow executes a downloaded installation script without warning the user about local system changes or remote-code execution.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

On a missing-command error, the workflow directs the agent to execute a remote installer without first explaining the local changes or requesting explicit installation approval. Installing software exceeds the normal scope of reading financial data and can execute arbitrary code with the invoking user's permissions; the error-triggered fallback limits exposure but does not provide informed consent.

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.
