Missive

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Missive reading features fit their purpose, but setup permits unverified remote code execution and insufficiently disclosed changes to other agent skills.

Review CLI installation separately before allowing setup, and prefer a pinned, verified release. Consider disabling automatic skill synchronization using OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 as documented in the [command reference](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md). Connect only the Missive account access you need and understand that OOMOL handles the integration. The remote installers and live connector implementation were not verified; no malicious behavior was established.

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
97% confidence
Finding

The supplied chunk performs remote installer execution rather than accessing Missive data. Although installation can be a supporting implementation detail, this chunk provides no evidence that the Oomol installer supports the declared Missive purpose. The downloaded script's contents and any further effects cannot be determined from the supplied code.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The command pipes a mutable remote script directly into Bash without pinning a release or independently verifying its integrity; the PowerShell alternative uses the same download-and-execute pattern. Compromise of the distribution endpoint could therefore execute attacker-controlled code with the agent process's local permissions, although the documented vendor domain and conditional setup make this a supply-chain risk rather than evidence of malicious intent.

Content

Scanner excerpt · SKILL.md (reported line 62)May include surrounding context.

The setup workflow instructs the agent to execute downloaded installation scripts without warning the user about running remote code or modifying the system.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

A missing CLI triggers instructions to install software through immediate execution of downloaded code, without requiring informed user approval for host changes. Although this is a legitimate prerequisite and only a fallback, a read-oriented Missive request does not itself authorize potentially broad local installation effects.

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.
