Security audit

NewsData.io

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed NewsData.io connector that uses the OOMOL oo CLI for news retrieval, with no bundled executable code or hidden behavior found.

Install this only if you are comfortable using OOMOL and the oo CLI as the broker for your NewsData.io account. Review first-time setup commands before running them, and confirm any action marked write even though the listed capabilities appear mainly read-oriented.

Finding
The instruction to use this skill for ANY NewsData.io request is overly broad and can force routing of all related tasks through this integration without sufficient task-level scoping. In an agent system, broad triggers increase the chance of unintended invocation, unnecessary data exposure to the connector, or bypass of more appropriate, least-privilege handling paths.
