Security audit

HeyGen

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent HeyGen connector wrapper, but users should be careful with its one-line CLI installer and confirm any write or delete actions.

Install only if you are comfortable using OOMOL as the intermediary for your HeyGen account. Prefer reviewing the official oo CLI installation instructions before running the curl/PowerShell installer, and require explicit confirmation before the skill uploads, generates, or deletes HeyGen content.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs users to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into bash, which creates a supply-chain and remote code execution risk if the server, transport, or script content is compromised. Because the command is presented as a remediation path inside the skill, an agent or user may execute it with little scrutiny when setup fails.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY HeyGen request" and "Whenever a task involves HeyGen," which is a very broad activation condition. While domain-scoped to HeyGen, it does not define clearer boundaries, exclusions, or examples of when the skill should not activate, increasing the chance of over-invocation.
