Security audit

Honeycomb

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly scoped to Honeycomb through OOMOL, but its setup instructions include unverified internet installer scripts executed directly by shell interpreters.

Review the first-time setup before installing. Prefer installing the oo CLI from a verified, version-pinned, signed source or official package manager, and avoid piping downloaded scripts directly into Bash or PowerShell. For normal use, confirm any Honeycomb write action payload before it runs.

  • 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
  • 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

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into bash, which creates a classic arbitrary code execution path if the remote host, transport, or install script is compromised. In this context, the danger is elevated because the skill explicitly authorizes Bash execution and embeds the one-liner as a fallback path, making unsafe execution more likely during normal operation.

Finding

The description says to use this skill for "ANY Honeycomb request" and "Whenever a task involves Honeycomb," which is extremely broad and lacks clear scope boundaries or exclusion conditions. In a manifest/markdown context, this can overlap with many routine references to Honeycomb and may trigger the skill when a narrower or different workflow would be more appropriate.
