Home Assistant

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly transparent and purpose-aligned for Home Assistant control, but its fallback setup tells the agent to run remote installer scripts directly in a shell.

Review this before installing if you are not comfortable with an agent controlling Home Assistant devices or changing automations. Prefer installing the oo CLI through a verified package or reviewed installer, then connect Home Assistant with the minimum scopes needed and require explicit approval for destructive actions.

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

External Script Fetching

High

Category: Supply Chain
Confidence: 94% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs the agent to install software via a remote script piped directly into the shell (curl ... | bash). If the remote host, transport, DNS, CDN, or published script is compromised, arbitrary code will execute immediately on the user's system with the agent's privileges, making this a serious supply-chain and remote code execution risk.
