Security audit

MxToolbox

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly a read-only MxToolbox connector, but its first-time setup tells users or agents to run unverified remote installer scripts.

Install only if you are comfortable using OOMOL as an intermediary for MxToolbox. Do not run the pasted curl|bash or irm|iex installer commands blindly; prefer an official, versioned installer with checksum or signature verification and approve any login or account-connection step yourself.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • 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
  • 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 agent to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into bash, which is a classic supply-chain and remote code execution risk. If the remote endpoint, transport, or distribution pipeline is compromised, arbitrary code would run immediately on the host without verification or user review.

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The skill description says to use this skill for "ANY MxToolbox request," which is an overly broad routing rule that can cause an agent to invoke this skill in situations where a narrower or safer tool selection policy should apply. Broad trigger phrasing increases the chance of unintended execution paths, especially because the skill includes shell-based operational guidance and setup instructions.
