Security audit

Keyword.com

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a coherent Keyword.com read connector, but its setup instructions tell users to run an unverified internet installer directly in a shell.

Review the setup path before installing. Prefer installing the oo CLI from a verified, pinned, or package-manager source, and only connect a Keyword.com account whose accessible projects and keywords you are comfortable exposing through OOMOL connector calls.

  • 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

Allow the user to inspect the downloaded script and require explicit confirmation before execution. 8. Run installation with ordinary user privileges unless a specific, documented operation genuinely requires elevation. 9. Document the files, network destinations, and permissions used by the installer. 10. For automated environments, distribute a pre-verified binary or package through an approved internal artifact repository. ]]>

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs use of a remote installation command that pipes a fetched script directly into bash. If the install endpoint, transport, or upstream distribution is compromised, this leads to arbitrary code execution on the local machine without prior inspection.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger language is unusually broad: it directs use of this skill for ANY Keyword.com request and any task that involves Keyword.com. That can cause the agent to invoke the skill in cases where direct use is unnecessary or where the user only mentioned Keyword.com incidentally, increasing the chance of unintended external data access or command execution.
