ipstack

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill's normal ipstack lookup behavior is coherent, but its fallback setup tells users or agents to run unverified remote installer scripts directly in a shell.

Review the setup path before installing. Prefer installing the oo CLI from independently verified OOMOL documentation or a signed/version-pinned package, and do not let an agent automatically run the curl-to-bash or irm-to-iex commands. Once the CLI is installed and authenticated, the skill's read-only ipstack lookup workflow appears consistent with its stated purpose.

Vulnerability Patterns

Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
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

High

Category: Supply Chain
Confidence: 98% confidence
Finding: The skill instructs the agent to install software via a network-fetched script piped directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). This pattern is dangerous because it executes remote content without integrity verification, allowing compromise if the hosting endpoint, TLS trust chain, DNS, or distribution channel is tampered with; in an agent context, it also expands the skill from harmless data access into arbitrary code execution on the host.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The description says to use this skill for "ANY ipstack request" and "Whenever a task involves ipstack," which is a very broad activation condition. It does not define clearer trigger boundaries or exclusions, so ordinary mentions of ipstack-related tasks could match unintentionally.
