Security audit

Lingxing MCP

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill requires approval for business-data changes, but its setup can install software and introduce persistent agent changes without clearly explaining or approving them.

Review and approve CLI installation separately, and check whether its automatic agent-skill synchronization is acceptable. Upstream documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED as an opt-out. Keep ERP changes subject to exact-payload confirmation and connect only the needed account permissions. Installer contents and the eventual downloaded version remain unverified.

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
Vulnerability Patterns

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The supplied code executes an Oomol-hosted installer rather than performing or configuring any identifiable Lingxing MCP operation. Nothing in the chunk establishes that this installer is a supporting dependency for the declared purpose. The downloaded script's contents and subsequent actions are not visible.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The command executes a remotely served shell script immediately, without a pinned version or independent integrity verification; the PowerShell alternative uses the same download-and-execute pattern. If the distribution endpoint or release pipeline is compromised, attacker-controlled code could run with the agent process's permissions, potentially exposing local data and credentials; HTTPS and the legitimate dependency context do not eliminate that supply-chain risk.

The setup workflow executes remote installation scripts without warning about local system changes.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The fallback instructs the agent to install software after a missing-command error without first obtaining approval for local system changes. The dependency is legitimate and the fallback is conditional, but permission to perform an ERP operation does not necessarily authorize installing software; the declared oo-only Bash allowance may limit execution if strictly enforced.

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.
