Security audit

1Password

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is meant to read 1Password through OOMOL, but it handles very sensitive secret data with broad automatic scope and includes unsafe remote install commands.

Review before installing. Use this only with a narrowly scoped, read-only 1Password Connect token and avoid broad vault access. Do not let an agent run the curl-to-bash or PowerShell iex installer automatically; install the oo CLI through a verified, user-controlled process. Confirm the exact vault/item before retrieving full 1Password items, and consider whether routing those secrets through OOMOL is acceptable for your security model.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
  • 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

Sensitive 1Password Requests and Results Are Routed Through an Additional Third-Party Trust Boundary

" --data '' --json ``` ```text - `get_item` — Get one full 1Password item by vault UUID and item UUID. ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill directs every 1Password request through the OOMOL CLI and server-side connector instead of allowing direct use of an official 1Password interface. Although the documentation discloses this architecture, it introduces the CLI, OOMOL account, connector service, and server-side credential handling as additional trust boundaries for highly sensitive password-manager operations. The `get_item` action retrieves a full item. Consequently, requests identifying vaults and items, as well as potentially sensitive response content, pass through connector infrastructure. The instruction to use this Skill for any 1Password request applies even where direct access or retrieval of a smaller set of fields would meet the user's objective. The audit did not establish covert exfiltration or misuse by OOMOL. The confirmed issue is the forced, broad intermediary architecture and resulting least-privilege risk. Its effective scope is determined by the permissions granted to the connected 1Password Connect access token. ### Attack Path 1. A user asks the agent to search for or retrieve information from 1Password. 2. The Skill instructs the agent to use ...[truncated 1228 chars]

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The skill recommends installing the CLI via a curl-piped-to-bash command, which executes remote code without verification and creates a direct supply-chain execution path. Because this content lives inside an agent skill, an agent following fallback setup steps could be induced to run unverified shell code on the host environment.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The description instructs the agent to use this skill for ANY 1Password request, which is an overly broad trigger and can cause the skill to activate on casual mentions or ambiguous requests involving 1Password. In this context, unintended invocation is meaningful because the skill exposes high-sensitivity secret-management read actions such as listing vaults and retrieving full items.
