Listen Notes

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill mostly performs read-only Listen Notes actions, but its setup instructions can run an unverified remote installer on the user's machine.

Install only if you are comfortable with OOMOL's oo CLI and its Listen Notes connector. Avoid letting an agent run the curl|bash or irm|iex installer automatically; install the CLI manually from trusted official instructions and verify what will run first.

External Script Fetching

Confidence

Finding

The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remote script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). This creates a supply-chain and remote code execution risk: if the remote host, transport, or script content is compromised, arbitrary code will run immediately on the user's machine without verification.

Finding

Line L03 says to use the skill for "ANY Listen Notes request" and "Whenever a task involves Listen Notes," which is a very broad activation condition without exclusions or narrower scope constraints. This can cause unintended invocation for loosely related mentions of Listen Notes rather than clearly defined user intents.
