Security audit

ORCID

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed ORCID lookup helper that uses OOMOL's CLI to search and read public ORCID data, with no artifact-backed evidence of hidden or destructive behavior.

Before installing, understand that this skill depends on the OOMOL oo CLI and an OOMOL-connected ORCID account. It should be used for public ORCID lookups; if future connector schemas show write or destructive ORCID actions, require explicit confirmation before running them.

Vulnerability Patterns

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The manifest and top-level description claim the skill is only for searching and reading ORCID data, but the body of the skill explicitly discusses possible [write] and [destructive] actions. This mismatch weakens security expectations and could cause a caller, reviewer, or policy layer to treat the skill as read-only when the underlying connector may expose state-changing capabilities.
