Security audit

IPLocate

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The IP lookups fit the stated purpose, but automatic setup executes unverified remote code and may install additional persistent agent skills.

Review the dependency setup before enabling this skill. Install and verify the CLI yourself, and consider disabling its automatic skill synchronization before running it. Submitted IP addresses pass through OOMOL to IPLocate. The complete bundled artifact was inspected; remote installer contents and the deployed connector implementation remain outside verified coverage. No artifact-backed evidence of malicious intent was found.

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

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The supplied command does not access IPLocate or perform any declared data operations. Instead, it executes an external installation script from cli.oomol.com. Nothing in the supplied chunk establishes that this installer is a supporting implementation detail for IPLocate. The fetched script's contents and further effects are not available for inspection.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

Piping an HTTPS response directly into bash executes mutable remote code without a review or integrity-verification step. HTTPS protects transport but not against a compromised publisher or distribution endpoint; the conditional setup context limits exposure but does not remove the arbitrary-code-execution risk.

The lookup workflow does not warn that submitted IP addresses are shared with external services.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The workflow instructs the agent to execute connector actions with user-supplied payloads, including individual or batches of IP addresses. Although it identifies IPLocate and OOMOL, it does not warn that the queried addresses are transmitted to these external services, and labels read actions as safe to run directly.

The setup fallback executes downloaded installation scripts without a system-integrity warning.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The missing-CLI fallback directs the agent to execute downloaded shell or PowerShell scripts without an explicit approval boundary or integrity verification. Although this is a legitimate dependency setup path, a compromised installer could execute arbitrary code with the invoking user's privileges; this overlaps with the SC2 finding.

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.
