Security audit

Google Chat

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This Google Chat skill is mostly coherent, but its first-time setup tells the agent to install a CLI by running an unaudited remote script in the shell.

Review the OOMOL CLI installation path before allowing the setup command to run, especially on machines with sensitive data. After setup, confirm message recipients and payloads carefully before allowing the skill to send Google Chat messages.

External Script Fetching

Supply Chain
Confidence

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to install software via a remote script piped directly into a shell (curl ... | bash), which is a classic arbitrary code execution pattern. Because skill content is adversarial by default and this appears in operational instructions, a compromised host, CDN, DNS path, or upstream script could execute attacker-controlled code on the system.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Google Chat request" and whenever a task involves Google Chat. That activation scope is very broad and lacks limiting conditions or negative examples, which could cause unintended invocation for casual mentions or loosely related tasks.
