Mixmax

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Mixmax actions have clear approval controls, but setup runs unreviewed downloaded code and the required CLI can change other agents’ installed skills without disclosure here.

Review and approve a verified CLI installation separately before enabling this skill. Decide whether OOMOL should process your Mixmax data, and retain the required confirmation before adding or scheduling recipients. To prevent automatic changes to other agents’ skills, upstream documents OO_SKILLS_SYNC_DISABLED=1 in its [command reference](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli/blob/main/docs/commands.md#environment-variables). The downloaded installer and deployed connector were not verified; this review found no evidence of malicious intent.

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
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Output HandlingUnvalidated Output Injection, Cross-Context Output, Unbounded Output

Description-Behavior Mismatch

High
Category
MCP Tool Poisoning
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The supplied code installs software from an unrelated service and shows no Mixmax operations or established dependency relationship. Although installation can be a supporting implementation detail, nothing supplied connects this installer to the declared Mixmax purpose. The downloaded script's contents and further effects cannot be determined from this chunk.

Content

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 a pinned version, integrity verification, or a review step; the PowerShell alternative has the same execution pattern. Compromise of the distribution endpoint could yield arbitrary code execution and access to local data or credentials with the invoking process's privileges, although the supplied content does not establish that the endpoint is malicious.

Content

The setup workflow instructs the agent to execute remote installation scripts without warning the user about the system changes or remote-code execution.

Medium
Category
Output Handling
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The fallback setup instructs the agent to execute downloaded shell or PowerShell code without explaining the system changes or requiring installation-specific user approval. A missing dependency therefore becomes a path to remote code execution with the agent process's permissions; the conditional trigger and declared Bash tool restriction may limit execution, but do not make these instructions safe.

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.
