Security audit

Panjiva

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is mostly coherent for using Panjiva through OOMOL, but its first-time setup tells agents to run an unverified remote installer script, which needs review before installation.

Install only if you are comfortable using OOMOL as the credentialed bridge to Panjiva. Do not let an agent run the remote installer command automatically; install the oo CLI from trusted vendor instructions, verify it where possible, and require confirmation before any write-tagged batch or bulk job is submitted.

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

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Content
- **`oo: command not found`** — install the oo CLI (other platforms: <https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md>):

  ```bash
  curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
  ```

  ```powershell
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into bash. This is dangerous because it executes unverified code from the network immediately, enabling supply-chain compromise, MITM-related execution in misconfigured environments, or execution of a tampered installer with the agent user's privileges.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill description says to use this skill for ANY Panjiva request and instead of calling the API directly, which creates an overly broad routing rule. This can cause the agent to invoke a powerful connector for loosely related requests without sufficient task-scoping or user confirmation, increasing the chance of unintended data access or state-changing operations.
