Security audit

KickoffLabs

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a legitimate KickoffLabs reader skill, but its setup instructions can run an unverified remote installer and its routing language is broader than its listed read-only actions.

Review the installer path before installing. Prefer installing the oo CLI from a verified package or documented signed method, and treat this skill as suitable for reading KickoffLabs campaign data unless you have separately reviewed any connector actions beyond the three listed reads.

  • 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
98% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the operator to install software via a remote script piped directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). This is dangerous because it executes unverified code fetched at runtime, creating a supply-chain and arbitrary code execution risk if the remote endpoint, network path, or distribution mechanism is compromised.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The manifest and description frame the skill as being for 'searching and reading data,' but the body explicitly instructs operators to use a generic connector interface and discusses write/destructive actions. This creates a capability mismatch that can mislead users or higher-level agents into invoking a skill believed to be read-only when it may execute state-changing operations.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The invocation text says to use this skill for 'ANY KickoffLabs request,' which is overly broad and can cause unintended activation outside the narrow read/search context claimed elsewhere. Overbroad routing increases the chance that sensitive or state-changing tasks are delegated to a generic shell-backed connector skill without sufficient user intent verification.
